Intolerance – Understanding – Forgiveness

The Shadow of Intolerance – Intolerance is the entanglement of the mind and emotions. It uses a slanted perspective of logic to prove internal disturbances as true, thus facts become distorted to support and uphold one’s own emotional volatility. Intolerance is the tendency to react to emotions on a whim, instead of attuning to the quiet, clear guidance within. This shadow is rooted in the mental habit of taking sides or seeking intellectual proof in a false attempt to feel secure. Intolerance builds a logical framework based on unresolved emotional patterns, turning opinions, judgments, and resentments into convictions and certainties masquerading as absolute truth. Those who are unable to let go of the need for mental resolution adopt a nitpicking attitude and thus project their disappointment onto others. Those who repress this tendency adopt an apathetic mind, thus giving up on trying to understand anything, exhausting their natural motivation and become paralyzed by fear.

The Gift of Understanding – Understanding is heart-centered awareness and intuition that satisfies the need for answers by exhausting the mind’s addiction to logic. The mind is then able to explore, research, communicate, and play with the patterns of life free from the constriction of proving or defending a static viewpoint. True Understanding does not require the mind or accumulation of knowledge. It dawns from the acceptance of life’s paradoxical nature. Understanding is the ability to truly see people, lending its gift of redefining roles, systems, and identity for positive impact in the world. Through this healing of heart and mind, humanity can cultivate compassion for our collective guilt and abuse of power. Though forgiveness is not something that can be forced or manufactured, embodying this Gift of Understanding is an important evolutionary step towards grace.

The Siddhi of Forgiveness – Forgiveness is the transcendence of the restless mind, beyond any need for answers or mental resolution to emotional disturbance. Forgiveness is the cosmic warmth that melts borders and boundaries, releases the illusion of separation and doubt, and brings humanity together in a unity of love and compassion for all beings. Forgiveness is an act of divine grace that annihilates all thoughts back into love.
