The Law of forgiveness, making peace with enemies
I know, I know this is a touchy subject for ALL of us, especially being spiritual beings and sensitive to disharmony... but we have ALL been hurt by someone, and dealing with those feelings of betrayal shouldn't be denied or stuffed. It is an impossible thought for many, maybe even not even a consideration for most of you! But, hear me out…(let's get back into the mindset that the dominant energies which every emotion is based are from either LOVE or FEAR.) Everyone, including our so called "enemies" have a place in this world. People that cause havoc in our lives are perhaps the biggest teachers of the biggest lessons we are to learn and conquer in this life. I like to eventually be THANKFUL for the people that are a pain in my moon because they reflect a challenging opportunity to rise above and become a more evolved person by handling this type of person with grace and deeper understanding; in fact often other's behavior is a direct reflection of needing to see our own. Different kinds of people HAVE to enter our path because we all benefit from sharing and intertwining with different levels of energetic and spiritual vibrations. Imagine how boring the world would be if everyone were good and kind all the time and did everything perfectly? What would we learn? We would never learn compassion or understand opposite viewpoints. And many times opposite energy is beneficial to our lives, but how do we deal with what we perceive to be "evil people?"
Step one is to trust they were put in our paths for a reason, both sides are eventually to evolve from the situation. Some spiritual philosophers even say that we have 'prearranged relationships and events' with the souls of these so called evil people, that we have pre-planned these difficult incidences with our fellow "enemy souls" before we came to earth in our physical bodies, to agree to teach the other what he or she so desperately needs to learn and experience. There is so much more than meets the eye above and beyond this physical realm. It is difficult to comprehend vast spiritual relationships that unfold in the physical world. When we all entered this world with dual sides of ourselves (our ego and our spirit self) we learn throughout life to balance the two to keep peace and harmony within us, but often times our energy and motivations just completely clash with another's thus causing MAJOR discord. This includes people who have hurt or taken advantage of us. I understand that these types of situations can be awfully severe and are just completely devastating and impossible to fathom forgiveness for, but the sooner we all grasp the idea that forgiveness IS necessary and all the drama that we have endured was all actually for a higher purpose, the better off and more powerful we become as Witches. Every person operates at their own vibrational levels, and throughout life, these vibrational levels change as we enter and exit different experiences, this is why we often change careers, locations, or relationships. It is neither good or bad, it just is. Getting into reincarnation, metaphysical theories say some of us have also evolved quicker and through other lifetimes faster than others, thus making our soul a little more wise then let's say a newer soul. If you have lived 89 lives and someone else you know has only had 3 past lives, it would suffice to say that person is not spiritually as far as along as you are, thus also explaining why discord materializes in our lives. We are really spiritual beings having a physical experience, and if we can remind ourselves that everyone has a purely loving, 'spirit self' side, and their negative actions are driven by their ego (the fearful/protective side of us) we can return to the idea that we need to have compassion for that person, not hatred. Practice referring to your 'enemy' as someone 'simply on the opposite vibration as you' and if he or she were more in touch with his evolved spiritual side, he would be the same loving, compassionate person as you. What I like to do is a simple forgiveness ritual that involves simple visualizing and a short verbal spell. Even if you are not READY to forgive someone, doing this ritual will help you get there more quickly and peacefully, as the longer YOU hold the grudge, the more power that person STILL has over you unnecessarily and who wants to spend one more iota of energy on someone that is better off at a distance? I simply light some white candles, burn my favorite incense, and memorize the following words as I picture the person I wish to forgive on a heavenly stage with white light around everyone. As the person steps out onto the heavenly stage, you see them happy, loving, and receptive, only energetically see their spirit selves, the good things you remember about them, not their egotistical, negative traits. Any witch during her self discovery should eventually be able to see even the most evil doers in their innocent and godlike state. Picture in your mind, as the person stands before you, smiling and happy to see you and so relieved they are there to be forgiven and say to them with full sincerity, "I forgive you completely and freely, I release all pain associated with our situation and the incidences that have happened between us are finished forever and I hereby only wish for you, the highest of good. I am free and you are free from all negativity associated with our interactions and all again is perfect between us, pure love and peace be with you." I like to say this 3 times, then picture the person on the other end receiving these words with love and happiness. This affirmation and visualization is SO powerful that sometimes you will even come across a random apology or a genuine re-connection for the better! Genuine thoughts and emotions ring through the universe and it knows NO space or time. Your recipient will get your message subconsciously and everyone will feel so much better! Repeat until you feel completely at peace again with the person. Remember, LOVE heals fear and negativity MUCH faster than anger or revenge. Always choose love in the end!
Being at peace with others drastically improves your magickal and manifestation skills as a witch... not to mention as peaceful person!
