There is a prison within you. 15

There is a prison within you, a medieval torture dungeon where you stash away those you have never forgiven, for what they did to you, loved ones or to anyone at all.
It is important to realize that you suffer your unforgiveness in there with them and the more of them there are the more it weights you down from ascending to happiness.
Open the gates. Set them free, set yourself free.
As God of your Universe, don't be a vengeful God but an all loving, all forgiving God.
Open the gates of your Hell and let them out, and with them set yourself free.
Forgiveness of everyone and all things.
Think about it.

If I could give this post an infinite number of plus 1's I would. Same with infinite 5 shroom ratings. Definitely a good rating coming your way for this one.
I get what you are saying though, we are our worst enemies, yet best friend too...you know what they say though, "keep your friends close and your enemies closer".
That was some real talk in your post though. Love it.

There is a lot of truth to those statements. Bitter resentfulness is destructive mentally and spiritually. I think the act of accepting forgiveness and giving it out unconditionally is what is regarded as the born again experience. Its usually an emotional outpouring resulting in the individual feeling extatic.

Very true. It made me wonder why we need this prison, why do we delay forgiveness any more than necessary?
I think perhaps we may seem to need this delay to experience some kind of continuity of our identity.
We may then even fear forgiveness if it will mean giving up important parts of our identity. This fear fuels an anger that, when directed outwards again delays forgiveness of others even further.
We then identify with our anger and resentments, thus forging a continuity of our lesser selves.
So if forgiving others means giving up an essential part of one's self it could perhaps be seen as a kind of submission. A submission to our feelings of Love for that and those we at first may seem to resent.
Forgiveness being a central theme of Christianity, and submission being a central theme of Islam, there's much that connects and unites it all.
Love, Hanz.

I dunno Asante, it seems like a really high percentage, maybe even the majority, of people on Earth are gonna be shitty losers until the day they die. If we all went around forgiving everyone & giving them 50 chances it'll give them no incentive to realize how destructive they are to others. I used to be all about the hippie mentality of infinite hope & understanding, and I still have that mentality to an extent, but I've been fucked over too many times before to think everyone deserves my unconditional love.
You don't necessarily have to forgive people in order to stop them to impeding on your happiness. You can feel fulfilled with yourself as an individual and be in touch with your emotions, while simultaniously being unforgiving to those you figure might have gone past the point of forgiveness with you.
I definitely understand the metaphor with the whole inner prison thing & all though, IDK.

I havev forgiven the Devil but I will avoid following his ways as much as I can.
Just because you forgive someone, that doesnt mean you approve of their ways, or endorse those.

rubbish. you open yourself up again to people, you are inviting more pain to be cast upon you. that's not to say you can't interact and have positive experiences with people... but not learning from previous mistakes only hinders you as a person.
