Invisible Forces

Anger, Stress and Forgiveness

Hello Dear Friend,

How are you? I hope you have had a good and interesting week, full of fun things and reminders of the love and support which surrounds you. My week has been full of timetables and trying to get back into the routine of study as I wrestle my brain back to my Open University studies.

I also had a forcible reminder of the invisible forces of stress and worry, and the effects those can have on our systems. Over the past few weeks, I have had a health scare, which will need minor surgery, but the more worrying aspect was the biopsy and the wait for results. Jo came with me to the appointment, and neither of us asked how long the results would take to come back. I know, I know, it is a pretty basic question to ask, but neither of us thought of it at the time. So I went into the mindset of ‘if it’s bad news I will hear quickly.’ Does that ever really work? Well, I thought it had worked for me, until Tuesday evening when I received a text which said ‘The results of your recent test is normal. No further action is needed at this stage.’ Phew, minor celebrations ensued, and I thought no more about it. Until my ME kicked into hyperdrive, resulting in two days of barely functioning.

I realised the invisible influences of stress and adrenaline had been keeping me going until they were no longer needed.

Which had me thinking about other invisible thoughts, feelings and emotions which keep us from processing the world fully and being able to raise our spiritual vibrations and connections.

Mercy, Anger, Compassion and Forgiveness

I have been reading *Mary Magdalene Revealed by Meggan Watterson, and this week I read this section about anger and mercy:

Mercy, I think, is the embodiment of compassion.

I can have compassion easily for just about anyone. Once I hear how they’ve suffered, I have compassion on how and why they then perpetuate that suffering by causing harm to others.

What’s hard for me is the personal compassion, the mercy that’s required of me when I forgive someone who has done me immediate and direct harm.
My ego masquerades as this superhero. Hands on her hips.

Or like Gandalf, with his staff in the depths of the underworld, proclaiming to that horrible demon-fire-beast, “You shall not pass.”

The trouble is that the anger of the ego, even when righteous, can also erect some serious walls in my heart. And this doesn’t hurt the person who harmed me; it blocks me from the flow of the universe.

It disconnects me from what it means to be truly alive, to give and receive love.

Lord Jesus Christ, son of god, have mercy on me.

Mercy is at the heart of the prayer of the heart. Because mercy is what returns us to the heart. Mercy is the power of Christ. A power that isn’t a power over, but a power with; mercy is about a perpetual transference of power. Mercy is the energetic exchange at the heart of the universe.

Lord Jesus Christ, son of god, have mercy on me.

Watterson, Meggan. Mary Magdalene Revealed (p. 163). Hay House. Kindle Edition.

Now whether you are a Christian or not, the words ‘it blocks me from the flow of the universe’ have resonance. Just like my old friends’ stress and adrenaline, anger is an invisible force which can have far-reaching effects without our conscious awareness.

Think about it for a minute.

Are there times when you think back to a situation or to a person and wish things had been different, or wish they had treated you differently, even wished that you yourself had treated someone differently? Perhaps with more compassion and understanding. Perhaps with more love? I know I do. I also know that in order to fully embrace the love of spirit and walk my awakened path I need to forgive them and forgive myself for my prior actions. They cannot be changed, but perhaps by sending love and compassion back into those past situations, these psychic wounds can be healed.

This reminds me forcibly of the Lord’s Prayer, and of school assemblies.

And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Words which were spoken by rote, with no real thought attached to them, but which now have resonance.

FORGIVENESS - From Diana Cooper’s October Newsletter

Diana Cooper, in her last email, included this Forgiveness Declaration, which may help with the laying of ghosts and traumas and allow us to feel the love of our angels.

Forgiveness declaration

I forgive everyone who has ever hurt or harmed me, consciously or unconsciously, in this lifetime or any other, in this universe, dimension, plane or level of existence or any other. 

I offer them grace.

I ask forgiveness for everything I have ever done to hurt or harm another, consciously or unconsciously, in this lifetime or any other, in this universe, dimension, plane or level of existence or any other.

I ask for grace.

I forgive myself for everything I have ever done to hurt or harm another, consciously or unconsciously, in this lifetime or any other, in this universe, dimension, plane or level of existence or any other.
