Marianne, I enjoyed your telling of Ghandi''s view--so impressive! I realize only through practice can we find inner peace by relinquishing ourselves from the constantly selfish and loveless ego that causes most everyone's suffering! Thank you for teaching us to simply flip the mind's switch from ego to love! It does light our world. 💞

Forgiveness is a strong theme for me of late. I bring it together into self-compassion where I look at my trespasses and the trespasses against me. I look at them together intentionally, and speak forgiveness to myself and the other. I give what I wish to receive. It is love.

Yes. That’s the real deal. See the innocence—if they(I) knew better

they(I)would do better (working on how to “get there”—think I’m making progress not watching as much news & focusing more on my spiritual path/life). Stepping away from the battleground for new perspective(rising above it)...to stop engaging in the raging & allow my vibes to rise too...they can’t be healing, stuck in the lowest level—fear.

This doesn't work when you live with abusive narcissists and sociopaths. Please don't comment unless you've lived with sociopaths and narcissists. I'm pretty well-read on this topic so your advice may be cliché.

"May I be safe for my tendency to condemn." I suspect you meant 'from' my tendency to condemn rather than 'for'; our tendency to condemn is all too freely exercised with whatever safety we afford it.
