Hello everyone! Today I will continue to share with you the case for forgiveness and share an important miracle idea.
Background: I bought a printer a few years ago for my child’s study. However, because I am not familiar with the operation of the printer, so these years, whenever the printer failure or paper jam, I have been anxious with the printer for many times.
One day my daughter asked me to print her a copy of her test paper and when I heard that I went to print it. However, right after I turned on the computer and clicked print, the printer seemed to malfunction again. Its rollers kept clicking and clicking, but the paper just wouldn’t roll in with the rollers. When I realized this, I opened the cover of the printer to check it out, but I couldn’t find anything, there was nothing at the printer’s rollers. Then I tried a couple more times but it still didn’t work. So my anxiousness slowly set in. I thought to myself, why is this printer broken again? What a delay! However, just after I was anxious for a while, the miracle worker in me woke up. So, I immediately practiced forgiveness for this printer malfunction.
It was some old guilt in my subconscious that had manifested that this printer was malfunctioning, so I didn’t have to hate either the printer or the fact that I keep running into bad luck. And after all, this manifestation had only happened in one of my dreams, so there was no need for me to be in such a hurry. Since I have not split with the Lord, it is only right that I forgive myself for the fact that this printer malfunctioned and that the self who dreamed of this event did not exist at all.
And so, as I fiddled with the printer and worked on forgiveness at the same time, my anxiousness slowly disappeared. With that, much inspiration from the Holy Spirit came to me.
1. there is no need for me to rush because if I can’t fix it in a while I can go outside and print the papers for my kids.
2. if I can’t fix it all the time, then I can take it to a repair store in a few days. Or, I could simply buy a new one. It wouldn’t cost much and even buying a new one would just happen in a dream.
3. why does this printer get stuck? Oh! This printer often has tea leaves on it, is it getting stuck with tea leaves?
And so it was that when I had gone through the above period of forgiveness and inspiration, I made another attempt at printing. And this time, I felt that if it was stuck with tea leaves, then I could push the paper into the rollers with my hand, so that with the strength of my hand, what was stuck could possibly be squeezed out. And so, after I made another attempt, the paper was indeed pushed into the printer’s rollers by me. And, what did get squeezed out were a few dry tea leaves. So, the printer just went back to normal. Then after a while, I thought in my heart, “Luckily, this time I woke up and forgave when I was in a hurry, otherwise, the process of repairing the printer would have been the same as in the past, and I might not be able to repair the printer even if I was in a hurry for dozens of minutes, and I would also be angry with myself.
That’s all for sharing the case. Next, I’ll extend the printer in the case and replace this printer with my job, business or investment.
For example: I have an investment right now, so when that investment goes wrong, it is actually of the nature of this printer. Because first of all, my investment may not be for myself. In most cases, it’s possible that my investment is for my family’s life or for some other purpose. This is just like that printer I have is for my child’s study. Secondly, when something goes wrong with my investment, I almost always dive headlong into the hard thinking and action of fixing the problem with anxiety. This is as I tend to eagerly fix my printer when I realize it’s broken. Finally, if I am going into an investment problem with an anxious mind, then I may make so many bad decisions that they in turn add to my investment problem. This is just like I may not be able to fix my printer even if I go to fix it anxiously and get angry. So, as a Miracle Worker, when I have problems with my investments, can’t I first ask myself if I am going to forgive these investment problems and the events associated with them by first defining them as a manifestation of guilt? Or am I going to dive headlong into the hard thinking and action of solving the problem with anxiety? It’s all about my forgiveness efforts and the direction of my life.
If I choose the former, then I might go through a difficult period of forgiveness (because during that period of forgiveness I might forgive the lack of money as stated in the previous post. Or I would forgive as the previous post said not being a victim even if my savings decreased. (Or even more so, I’ll forgive various fearful situations involving relationships due to investment issues.) But during this difficult period of forgiveness, if I can once define all of the many issues as a manifestation of guilt and complete the forgiveness, then a period of inspiration for the heart to be free of fear will surely follow. I might then find the root of the investment problem with these inspirations, and I might then be able to make the right decision about whether or not to keep “fixing” it or to turn it around in time. Or maybe with that inspiration, I’ll be so open and fearless that I’ll be able to solve all the relationship problems that come with investing. This is what I call the work of forgiveness. But if I had chosen the latter when I had problems, then I might have exacerbated them and would have put myself in a more anxious state.
Then a more blunt statement can be made about where life is going. If I choose the former, then my fearless mind is likely to allow me to make a lot of decisions about investing that tend to be correct, to the extent that they will cause me to make only $100,000 and spend $20,000 in the future. But if I choose the latter, then because of my anxious mind and some wrong decisions, I may earn a million dollars in the future, but then lose 2 million dollars. These are the two different fates of my choosing the former and the latter, and why, in the previous post, I kept forgiving scarcity in my thinking. Because if I let that scarcity stay in my mind, then I might make so many impulsive and bad decisions that I’d risk getting stuck right in the middle of a financial mess.
So when we come across an issue in life, if we can forgive first and make a decision later, then as our guilt dissolves, our life scenario will turn. And once our life scenario turns, then the illusion that we have will inevitably change with it. It’s like me making $80,000 versus being a million dollars in debt. It’s also like the difference between repairing my printer, which in the past would have taken me dozens of minutes, but this time it only took me two minutes. This is the truth that forgiveness can change the course of life, and it is also the truth that The Disappearance of the Universe says that once we embark on the path of forgiveness, the scenarios of our future life will change in thousands of ways, and our future days will be much better. Of course, the fact that this much better life has nothing to do with the number of illusions, and the fate of the party that earned only 100,000 dollars and the fate of the person that earned a million dollars first also illustrates this truth.
Finally, I’ll take the opportunity of this sharing to make one more important note: money and illusions are not spiritual. The amount of money and illusions also has nothing to do with our truth, but good illusions are related to the change of our destiny. And the change in our destiny is closely related to our forgiveness, which the Holy Spirit wants to teach us and is waiting for us to do. So why does the Holy Spirit want to teach us to forgive, because we are spiritualities. This is the logic of the illusion and our selfhood being both unrelated and somewhat connected. Therefore, as a miracle worker, we should not forgive in order to get a good illusion, and it is not a good idea to do so. And once we do, we have taken the illusion seriously in the first place. Then, no matter how much we forgive, we will be in a deeper perplexity. This is what the 50 Principles of A Course in Miracles say about not falling into a state of disorientation and using mind creativity in reverse. So the goal of forgiveness is simply forgiveness itself, and the purpose of forgiveness is simply to dissolve guilt.
