Full Forgiveness.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
I have always had difficulty understanding and applying forgiveness. Knowing that I have this difficulty, I have studied and researched the concept extensively. Recently, I have “released” my hot resentment and anger towards numerous people who have hurt me in the past and have started solely focusing on myself and self-improvement. I have made impressive strides in this area, but the question I have is, have I “forgiven” them? I’m unsure because I certainly don’t feel any kindness, love or benevolence towards them. It’s almost like a cold “cutting-off” “you-don’t-exist-or-matter-to-me-anymore” sort of feeling. I’m unsure if I’m going the right direction with this idea. I FEEL better/happier because I’m not spending ALL of my mental energy on hating and cursing them… But have I “forgiven” them?
Response:
It sounds as if your process of forgiveness isn’t complete yet. But you have made great strides, so give it a little more time. And don’t expect that full forgiveness necessarily means you will feel great love and kindness toward that person. That’s great when it occurs, but it’s enough that you have fully let go of your feelings of anger and blame. Stopping those toxic emotions are the most important motivation for forgiving. When that has healed with forgiveness, you will feel neutral or indifferent when you think about those past events. That neutrality may develop into a more generous understanding and kindness, or not. But either way you are healed.

Maybe you feel that you are not able to forgive, because you grew up, but they dont. Maybe they are not able solve their problems. It is source of your frustration, stuckness. You want some progress, but they are not able to make progress of their problems. They should try to make responsibilities for their own problems, not to make you responsible for it. Maybe some therapy can help them.
