“Greetings! This is Kuan Yin.

It is not possible for most humans to grasp the scope and enormity of karma. It is a perfected balance of cause and effect that outpictures in all lives all the time, in both a negative and a positive way, depending on everything you have ever said or done in all lifetimes, right up to this moment.

Karma

(Sanskrit, also karman, Pāli: kamma) is a Sanskrit term that literally means “action” or “doing”. Some version or discussion of karma can be found in almost all sacred writings, and simply means do good things, generate good karma, do bad things generate bad karma.

.

Forgiveness is not just something nice to do, it is vital to your ongoing and the ongoing of this planet.

Let’s say you have experienced 1,000 lifetimes here on the Mother Earth. And imagine all the ways in all lifetimes that you might have caused pain and suffering to other living beings, and all the ways that you rose above that and offered love and service to others. Is there any way to know all of that? Well yes, but you would have to access the Akashic records for that information, or engage the services of someone who could do that for you. It really isn’t necessary.

Suffice to say, everyone on this planet has karma, and looking at the explosions of darkness around the globe a lot of it is negative.

Many humans stubbornly deny even the idea of karma, or that they might have it, or that it affects their lives. Karma affects all aspects of life, including relationships, finances, health, environment and more, saying that there is no such thing as karma doesn’t affect its reality one whit. This is sleeping ignorance. It can be waked from, but time is very short and many will not.

You can.

A true, deep, and heartfelt forgiveness practice can save your life. Would you hold hot coals in your hands? Against your heart? That is unforgiveness.

Here are two examples of deep forgiveness. You can always create your own, just so it is honest and sincere.

A Forgiveness Practice

Forgiveness is a necessary action for the soul journey to further bloom. Master Zhi Gang Sha and other spiritual teachers through the ages have taught this truth, that if you do not forgive, you cannot expect to go forward on the path to enlightenment.

Find a quiet place where you can be meditative, light a candle, light some incense, say hello to any of the Divine ones that walk with you, or whatever you need to do to quiet your mind and heart.

..

Say in your heart and mind, with sincerity,

“dear (speak the name of the person or situation that you feel has harmed you, or that you have harmed)

..

I love you, bless you, honor you.

I am truly sorry for any pain, harm or suffering that I have caused you in this or any lifetime. I apologize with all my heart and soul. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.

I forgive you for any harm, pain or suffering that you have caused me in this or any lifetime. Please accept my heartfelt forgiveness. Thank you. I love you.

..

Then you might chant or sing a mantra or sacred song that has meaning to you.

Be sure to close the practice. Pay attention to how your heart feels, and also how your outer experience changes when you do forgiveness practices often.

We can do effective forgiveness practices whether or not we believe in karma and reincarnation, but it expands our understanding of the scope of karma if we do. All of our ancestors and all of their ancestors on back through all time generated karma of some kind. That’s a lot of beings! Truly contemplating all the suffering of mankind and animal-kind might bring you to tears. If it doesn’t, examine your heart.

Here is a more comprehensive forgiveness practice. Yes it is long, it took you a long time to get here. Take some time to transform your mistakes.

“Dear all Divine beings, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Saints, Angels, Archangels, Ascended Masters, Holy ones and beings of Light anywhere and anywhere, all beloved ones who walk with me and bless my journey. Dear my Yuan Shen, my Shi Shen and all souls that make up the entirety of my being.

..

I love you, bless you and honor you all, and bow down before you.

..

Dear all souls in all universes, all lifetimes, all souls in Heaven, all souls in Hell, all souls in all infinity and all eternity,

.

Beloved, I am sorry with all my heart and soul for all harm, pain, suffering and unhappiness and negative service that I have caused you or offered you in this and all lifetimes, or that my ancestors and descendants have caused you.

.

I apologize with all my being for all loss, tears, grief and anguish, for all oppression and injustice, warfare, impoverishment and want, for all cold, dark, hunger, rage, fear, violence, hopelessness and despair, depression and anxiety that I have caused you, that we have caused you. I am deeply sorry for ever having turned to the dark side to serve it.

.

I am sorry for all physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, psychic, material, financial, institutional, governmental, religious, educational, relationship, sexual and soul journey harm that I have caused you, that we have caused you in all lifetimes, and I ask your forgiveness.

.

Dear all Divine beings, I am sorry most sincerely for all disavowal, disrespect, disobedience, unconscious behaviors, Lack of wisdom, spiritual laziness, blame, hatred, doubt, lack of faith, accusation, falsehood and betrayal that I have ever offered you or caused you, or that we have caused you in all lifetimes, including this one.

.

I apologize for all cruelty, all failure to acknowledge your suffering, indifference, or joy in causing pain.

.

Dear all souls, I am sorry with my heart for all torture, agony, bondage, use of handcuffs, manacles, ropes, wires, whips and chains, iron bars, cells, pens or cages with which we have caused you pain and suffering. I am deeply sorry for all suffering that I have caused any animal in this and all lifetimes.

.

I am sorry for causing the death of any soul in any lifetime.

.

With my heart I ask your forgiveness, not because what we did to you is forgivable or excusable, but that you might be free and have peace. I bless that you might be released from the harm, darkness and ongoing negative karma that comes when we do not forgive that harm. That suffering is bound tightly to us until we forgive and release it. Please forgive and release us so that your souls might soar free to their highest possibility of love and liberty, joy and beauty and Divine potentiality, oneness, Light.

.

I ask the Divine to please fill all those spaces created by forgiveness with its perfect love, light and living presence, to prevent the return of that darkness, and prevent new negativity.

.

I offer myself in unconditional Divine Service, to The Tao, to my teacher, to the Mother Earth planet and her inhabitants.

.

We have learned our lessons and will do everything in our power to not repeat those mistakes.

.

Beloved, I forgive all souls that have hurt or harmed me and my ancestors and descendants (on their behalf) in this and all lifetimes, unconditionally, with joy and deep relief. Please accept our heartfelt forgiveness, and let us all go forth together on this great journey of Light.

Thank you thank you thank you all, love you love you love you all.

Please respectfully return.

.

Think of this as a housecleaning. There is a spiritual teaching,

“Clean the house to welcome the guest.”

Who is the guest? You tell me.

That is all. I love you.”

This teaching was expressed through Kristin Strachan, Kuan Yin Lineage Holder, student of Master Zhi Gang Sha, teacher, and spiritual practitioner in Colorado. I am very blessed.
