The ‘I Forgive’ Principle  ·  A Truforgiveness Reflection

Why do I want to punish myself?

A gentle question, met with grace. Sit with it, follow FAITH, and let the ‘I Forgive’ principle carry you from the wrong mind of blame to the right mind of peace — where God is.

As guilt dissolves, so too does the call for punishment.

Applying the ‘I Forgive’ Principle

How to forgive within

By mentally tapping each layer with the ‘I Forgive’ principle, you open the door from dark to light. Use the steps below as you complete your Truforgiveness.

  1. Drop within. Move your awareness down, beneath the conscious mind, to where the feeling truly lives.
  2. Forgive each layer. Apply ‘I forgive…’ to whatever you find, then go deeper still.
  3. If you get stuck, simply repeat the same ‘I forgive…’ statement — this is an ego block, and it will give way.
  4. Withdraw the shadow. As the blame is laid down, feel the release from fear.
  5. True healing. What you think is purified from fear to love — guilt dissolves, and so too does the call for punishment.

Complete your true prayer — by applying the ‘I Forgive’ principle to every layer you find.

Returning to the right mind

When the guilt is laid down, what does Perfect Love say in its place?

Optional — let the peace that remains have the final word.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
Right-Minded Revelation

There are two minds, and when you choose to build your home upon the wrong mind of separation and sin, you perceive the shadows that seek sickness and suffering. You cannot know the truth of Perfect Love from the mind of littleness, lack, and lovelessness. When you change your mind from wrong to right — via your forgiving within — you remember the truth of love. A love so complete that fear cannot enter. For you extend completion that keeps safe and secure from the shadows the belief in separation from Source has made.
