The Flaws That Surround Humans:
Surely, you have something that submits to you, whether it is a stone, the blink of an eye, or a sound in your ear—something obedient to you, not rebellious, unless it is beyond your ability to receive. Certainly, there is something under your watch and control. Free it from your perceptions and expectations; free it from your ego so it may reveal its own. People want to see each other’s flaws because they want flaws to become normal. They seek freedom from flaws in the wrong way.
The flaws you perceive in certain things stem from your incompatibility with them, and the absence you see outside is within you. Some have expelled love from within themselves and claim it does not exist. Some remove mercy from their hearts and ask, "Where is mercy?" They want to be shown mercy but do not show it themselves. There is nothing above you, humans. You are the ones who create your gods, your idols, and your struggles with your own phantoms. Free yourselves, and you will be freed, for what is below is what is above.
When you blame yourself for the past, you blame yourself now, and you will blame yourself in the future. And surely, the future will blame you. You are creating a pattern—a path of injustice. When you are harsh on yourself once, do you think it ends there? No, you establish a habit, set a precedent, making harshness justified. Free yourself from the traditions that will later judge you. You think that by lashing yourself, you will purify yourself. No, you will not. Nothing purifies the soul more than forgiveness. And as long as humanity does not understand this, they will remain in cycles of punishment, torment, and mutual cruelty, never attaining true liberation.
The Path of Forgiveness:
Forgiveness returns the soul to its origin. If you make a mistake and are met with forgiveness, the mistake is unlikely to be repeated. But if a person errs and is met with excessive punishment, they will surely err again—this time intentionally. For punishment makes one lose faith in their inherent nature—the spontaneity of doing what is right. Instead, it increases their belief in pretense, fabrication, and masks, making them appear righteous while knowing they are not, just to avoid punishment.
When you do not free awareness from its harsh judgments, you create a dark world without justice. Create a world of salvation—at the very least, free those under your power, and then a world of liberation will open for you. If you wait for someone else to liberate you, you will never be free. Humans are creative beings; they create both good and evil. Just as they create beginnings, they also create endings.
The beginning and the end—mercy is what lies between them. Imagine being in a closed space with an entrance but no exit; you would be imprisoned. Whoever wishes to remain in something will constrict themselves and their own chest. They wish to stay inside a box. But time’s movement is the greatest mercy for all things, allowing them to begin and end. Nothing can endure eternity; they are mere fragments longing for unity.
As we said, forgiveness allows everyone to be as they are and to move on from what they were. Let everything be as it is. Be as you are.
O human, let everything know its source from within itself, its origin from within itself. If someone comes to you claiming to represent your truth, they are a fraud. No one can define what a human is except the human themselves. No one can uncover your truth for you—you must live it and practice it. The origin comes from within you.
Allow yourself to make mistakes, for permitting mistakes prevents their repetition. Those who do not allow mistakes ensure their recurrence. A person may err once but succeed a thousand times. Forgiveness closes all wounds, for wounds feed on your anger, pride, and resentment. The wound is your pride. The wound that bleeds and calls for revenge is the same force compelling you to inflict wounds upon others.
I have always told you that my faith is not tied to what I have found. If a person waits for circumstances to grant them faith, they will only believe in their immediate condition. Circumstances give you nothing but desires or fears—desires for continuity and fears of extinction.
Look at the circumstances of others—of things, of animals, of trees—and you will understand that circumstances change. You will understand that everything evolves. You will realize that mistakes are not truly mistakes. You will see that everything can be restored. Our failure to understand how restoration works leads us to believe that the balance will tip negatively. But the balance never turns negative; you must believe this. The balance never ends in a minus (-) or a plus (+)—it always ends in zero (0). No matter what is lost, something is gained. No matter what dies, something is reborn.
Why do people not forgive? Because they believe they will not heal. And so they seek to wound, bleed, and hurt everyone around them. But awareness can heal everyone from within. You do not allow yourself to heal, and your own self does not allow you to heal. Your wound compels you, and you compel it. You reject it, and it rejects you. It wants your demise, while you resist, trying to turn back time.
Let everything that has happened reach its conclusion. Forgiveness prevents repetition. Resistance ensures repetition, for when you resist a possibility, it must manifest. That is the nature of opposition—it mirrors, repeats, and strengthens. But when you permit something to reach its endpoint, when you do not prolong the battle by weeping over what is lost, peace enters.
Wars end when peace is allowed in—not when peace is met with shrouds. Just because someone wronged you does not mean everyone will. And just because someone you trusted betrayed you does not mean you should stab in the back those who trust you.
Mistakes are temporary anomalies, while goodness is universal and permanent. Mistakes, in their natural course, happen once as a lesson. They will not repeat—if you understand their purpose. The purpose is for goodness to prevail, not for evil to spread.
Pain is a warning and a lesson. If you resist it, it persists—that is the anomaly. The natural state is one of goodness, where errors do not exist. Rejecting mistakes ensures their continuation. Humanity has tried to eradicate diseases, and in doing so, they have made them more deadly and resistant.
At the moment you interfere with anything, you open the door for interference in yourself.
Free yourself, and you will be freed. Allow, and you will be allowed. Lift yourself, and you will be lifted.
