Our awakening transcendence is occurring now because of the magnificent power of our minds and forgiveness. Ever try to remember a name and several days later it enters into your conscious thought? The reason this occurs is everything you have seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled from the moment you were born is stored in your subconscious, which is your database. You asked, and your powerful mind finds the answer. Consider the advances in computer systems. You can ask search engines a question from your phone and instantly receive the answer. Computer technology is exploding and growing at an exponential rate. Our minds are absolutely incredible.

Why is forgiveness so very important? When someone slaps you in the face either physically or verbally, they expect to be slapped back. When you instantly forgive and don't slap back, you're sending an extremely strong and significant message. You have shown them nothing they can do can hurt you in any way. Perhaps if they're on the receiving end in the future, they won't slap back in remembrance of how you reacted. If you have stolen, forgive yourself and steal no more. If you have been rude and angry, forgive yourself and these emotions will decrease permanently. Ever unemotionally listen to two people arguing? Each is not listening, really listening, to the other because they're thinking of a response. If you come out of an extreme argument and fail to get your point across, do you feel good? Arguing is pointless and serves no positive purpose. So, forgive yourself and argue no more. Most importantly, forgive yourself for you have not offended God, you are His first creation and only joy.
