Cleaning Out Your Attic: The Fundamental Advantage of Forgiveness

By: Kenrick Cleveland

"Forgiveness means that you do not hold others responsible for your experiences." ~Gary Zukav

What do you have in your attic (or basement)? Old clothes that don't fit anymore? Paperwork that you'll never need? The children's old toys that they don't care about anymore, but to which you have a sentimental attachment? Maybe boxes and boxes of things that belonged to a deceased relative that you do not need?

Maybe these things are holding you back, maybe they're not. They are certainly weighing you down, if not physically, perhaps psychologically. But unless you have a problem with 'collecting' or being a pack rat, then the stuff in your attic might not be that big a deal.

Now I'd like you to think of the things that you're storing in your mind. Sure, there are some great memories of weddings and births, successes and the pleasures of life. There are even some sad thoughts, which are absolutely necessary to create a complete life, the ups the downs, the ebb and flow, the yin and yang. There's knowledge up there, and appreciation of beauty, and ability - the ability to persuade, the ability to change the oil in your car, the ability to build a campfire or make your grandmother's secret soup recipe.

We've also got some junk up there. One of the fastest ways to get rid of this junk is the act of forgiveness. In an upcoming article I'll give you some specifics on how to use forgiveness to dispose of some of this useless garbage.

The ultimate purpose of forgiveness is not to make you a better person, it's not to benefit the person you're forgiving, and it's not even to make you right with God or work out your karma (though these are all side benefits of forgiving).

The real purpose is to clear out your other than conscious mind, to free it up from any negativity that is holding you back and preventing you from achieving everything you ever wanted.

'By beholding be become changed.' That's one of my favorite Bible quotes.

This means, that the more you focus on, the more you are going to become what that focus is. Are you focusing on creating money or on debt? Are you focusing on health or on sickness?

If we're focused on bitterness and challenges and lessons hurt, then a part of us is, all day, every day, bringing a piece of that to our lives over and over. I believe that one of the greatest reasons we are here on planet earth is to learn to understand that we're here to be able to manifest anything we want.

Let's divide up our unconscious mind into sections and let's say that we can lump all of our troubles, our problems, our bitterness, our resentments, all into one area of our unconscious. For sake of argument, let's say we've done that now.

How much space is taken up by that useless garbage?

If we took all of this anger and bitterness and we assigned it a value in our unconscious mind... Well like, let's say that there is 5% down in there somewhere, even 1%. How would that affect you? It's like Chinese water torture. It's a drip, drip, drip, pain, pain, pain, agony, agony, constant problems dripping, dripping, never stopping. If we could somehow root that out, get rid of it, and instead, focus on our universes, what would our life become?

When we employ the process of forgiveness, we clear out that 1 or 5 or 15% and make space for more of what we want.

Coming soon: Part II--the process of forgiveness is mapped out for you.
