I do a demonstration for groups as part of a workshop I do on the topic of Forgiveness.

First, I have a person close their eyes and I walk back about 15 ft from them and slowly walk toward them. When I walk into a stored memory of a sin in their soul it feels as though I walked into a physical rock.

I reach out and take hold of the sin with my hands, pull it away from them, and they come forward as though I have a rope tied to them, even though I am many feet away from them.

Since I have the memory of the sin in my hand, I usually know at what age it happened and who it involved. Also, since I am touching the stored memory it stimulates it and they suddenly remember it without me saying a word.

I repeat three or four times, pulling the sin away from them to show that they come forward each time.

While they are coming forward, almost falling forward I ask them if they would like to forgive this person, when they say YES, I ask them if they would like to forgive themselves too. As they say this they snap backwards like the rope I was pulling broke as they release their soul attachment with the person who wronged them. Remember, there is no rope. It’s how our soul holds onto sin.

When they can’t forgive, I break it into three smaller bites.
First, I ask them to understand the circumstances that made the person the way they are. Their parents, hardships, tribulations...(Gain Understanding)
Second, I point out that the person is suffering and in pain as a result of their actions. (Have Compassion)
Finally, I now ask them that with the understanding and compassion for the person would they like to forgive the person. 99% of the time they say yes.

I explain that when you are angry at a person you are attaching your soul to their soul and giving them control over you. Forgiveness is for you, to set you free and not for the person who wronged you.

Many times, the person who was forgiven contacts the person who forgave them within 24 hrs, even though they had not spoken in years. They feel it too.

I am not making this up and I have done it hundreds of times in churches, at conferences, and even at the Divinity School.

My definition of sin is anything that creates an obstacle to Love in a person’s soul. This is why the wound is greater if you know that you did wrong.

Conditional Forgiveness is not forgiveness.
