Necessity, Choice, and Compassion

Please enjoy this session from my live workshop “Forgiveness,” presented in 1999.

Imagine that you are about to incarnate, and you chat with me — the one who is going to work with you to give you your contract — and I talk to you about that which is necessary, the level of choice you have, and acts of compassion that will come into your life. All three. So — here’s the team: necessity, choice, and compassion. These are the triplets you want to pay attention to in your life.

Forgiveness is often misunderstood as a moral obligation or emotional virtue, but in truth, it is a radical and terrifying mystical act. In this workshop, we will explore the hidden power dynamics at play when forgiveness is withheld—how unresolved wounds can become the very foundation of personal identity and control. Through real-life stories and deep archetypal insight, we’ll examine how the refusal to forgive often becomes a source of authority, shaping not only personal relationships but social interactions and group dynamics. This is not about judging others but about developing the inner sight to recognize these patterns in ourselves.

We’ll also delve into the spiritual dimension of forgiveness—the part that defies logic and terrifies the ego. Forgiveness challenges our instinctual wiring for vengeance, forcing a confrontation between our survivalist nature and our higher spiritual identity. True forgiveness cannot be reasoned with; it must be awakened. Together, we will explore how grace, not logic, allows for the release of bitterness and the initiation of genuine healing. As modern science continues to affirm the link between forgiveness and physical well-being, this workshop offers not just spiritual insight but also an essential key to healing the body and soul.
