Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a deliberate, conscious, decision to release feelings of anger, resentment, or vengeance towards another individual or group who has harmed you (i.e. who has sinned against you), whether they actually deserve forgiveness or not. Forgiveness is the required key to Healing, Awakening, Activation, and Ascension.

Note that forgiveness does not imply continued acceptance of bad behavior. In order to be effective, forgiveness must be accompanied, on the part of the perpetrator, by authentic changes in attitude and behaviour, and authentic efforts to atone. Failing an authentic change in attitude and behaviour, strict (but non punitive) boundaries must be established and maintained to prevent ongoing damage.
