There is great power in a principle such as love. We know the truth of this from our own human experiences—that out of love we would do things and take risks that would be ridiculous from a logical viewpoint. We have experienced this in the matter of personal vendettas. We resent someone for a lifetime for something that we always held was vicious and unfair of them to do. Then one day while we are out gardening, it suddenly strikes us how sad it was for that person to be so limited at the time. …Suddenly, the compassion of understanding opens up a powerful attractor. In one split second the unresolvable is instantly resolved. Not only is the unpardonable pardoned but we realize that there was nothing to pardon in the first place, except that the person was guilty of humanness. Once we own our own humanness, it is simple to forgive other people theirs. The more frequently we do this, the more effortless it becomes.
