The Forgiveness Experiment

This level of forgiveness is expressed in Buddhism and in teachings such as A Course in Miracles.
In a sense it is the forgiveness of the concept of "self". At this viewpoint there are no victims or abusers. Individuals hold a non separate viewpoint of their existence. The see themselves and others as part of the one mind of humanity and deeply connected to God. This forgiveness is a "letting go" of judgement and a general allowing of life experience to flow.
There is the acceptance that the world we live in is somewhat like a dream, and we are all characters in this dream. A dream that one day we will awake from when we are totally aware(enlightened).
Others are simply viewed as mirrors of ourselves and all actions are forgivable. This does not imply that they are condoned or excused. They are let go from the victim's viewpoint. They still carry their consequences to the abuser. ( I am not of the belief that karma no longer is operating).
 One maintains a high level of awareness at all times and attempt to see all people as holy. Even "bad" people are viewed as a reflection of some unowned aspect of our individual or collective conscious (ego).
This seems to be the highest level of forgiveness one can attain.
Life on earth provides a wide variety of experiences, they range from absolute joy to absolutely horrifying.
 That is the nature of the human condition. Overcoming these events is a major challenge and forgiveness has a significant role to play in that process. It my hope that this submission helps you understand forgiveness and makes your life journey more peaceful.
