Forgiveness-seminar Gary Renard Amsterdam May 23rd 2009

Hello all,

As mentioned below, I went to Gary Renard's seminar in Amsterdam on May 23rd for his third book "Love has forgotten no one" which will be published in Benelux in two months, in the US it takes some longer apparently, 8 months appr....


So, how was this spiritual seminar?

The seminar was - as expected - very entertaining, interesting and down-to-earth, which is given the heavy spiritual subject "the power of forgiveness" not a piece of cake but Gary managed to lighten the subject with his nice jokes on the themes he talked about.

In his own style, Gary summed up some interesting experiences he had with "Arten and Pursah", teached an easy hands-on meditation technique and gave some powerful affirmations all based on "The Course in Miracles" s.a.:

"Holy spirit, I put you in charge of this day / of my decisions of this day."

When you use this affirmation, apparently your own holy spirit or higher self if you may will guide you to situations that are not only in your own benefit but in the benefit of everybody around you as well. This doesn't mean you wont have anymore problems but your problems will be more interesting ;) Worthwile to try it out I would say.

One of the oneliners Gary mentioned was the fact that Arten and Pursah described to him the power of forgiveness as such that they said it will be "the new F-word".... ;)

Other interesting themes to mention : "An untrained mind can accomplish nothing (cf. J), you have to have a tought system!" (= The Course)

Depression = it is negative thoughts that cause depression and not the other way round i.e. : it is not so that you have first a depression and then negative thoughts...but the other way round!
Very interesting to consider as it becomes clear that thoughts are extremely powerful! So if you have a tendency to think negatively and judge a lot, try to change the way you think into positive and instead of judging try to make it automatically to start forgiving, "the new F-word".....

" Through the way you determine the world, you determine your own experience"

example: you are frustrated cause a driver just cut you off and you wanted to give him the finger, but at the last moment you did not - cause as a good Course-student, you instead of giving him the finger, you forgave him. The next day you read in the paper that on that same location where you drove the day before, a man gave another driver the finger and that other man had a gun and shot him dead..." So.... you choose how you act and by doing so you can determine the outcome! Choice between judging and forgiving!

"Whatever you think about another person is coming back to you, and will determine what you believe you are"!

example: It is well known that how you treat other people tells a lot about yourself, I you f.eg. are unkindly and angry or frustrated with people one day, this means you hate yourself at that moment -> this can be dangerous by such you namely can determine and attract bad experiences that day! So stop judging and start forgiving instead. You 'll benefit from it.


"Behold the great projection" = life = 100% projection=illusion, this no mystery has been known for thousands of years by the masters Buddha, Jesus, etc...

There is no world, Your entire life is simply a 100% projection, "illusion" of a story with a family, friends, jobs, situations, good and bad experiences, "death and taxes", etc...


Forgiveness = it goes always about you !
Delayed reaction = dangerous (example car - choice between finger and no finger...)

Forgive! Even if it's hard or even pretty hard! Because at the end YOU will feel good about it! it stays with you, we need to realize that we're not guilty but that we are innocent.

3 STAGES OF FORGIVENESS:

When you are just about to judge someone/something:
1) STOP YOURSELF
2) CHANGE YOUR MIND FOR THE BETTER
3)FORGIVE THE PERSON/SITUATION (not necessary to do it immediately, but just do it)

Cause as long as you have conflict in the mind, there will be conflict on "the screen" = in your projected life. As long as there is conflict in your mind you will NEVER be at inner peace with yourself.

So start forgiving people, it's in YOUR own good, not mine ;)

Have a great week!
