Hello! I just joined, very interesting here, looking forward to learning as I am a spiritual student on a journey. What I want to manifest is forgiveness. Holding on to all the anger and hatred can only destroy. If I can learn to fully forgive and replace anger with love this journey will go so much smoother. Today, I am learning to forgive all involved in my brother's murder, it does not matter that he is not sorry for his act and all those he destroyed. What is important is that I let it go and forgive.

Dear Toby,
Like you, we are all spiritual students. The awareness of that makes you a master!

Our spiritual journeys will never end. We didn't take on physical form just to be enlightened. What would be the point of that? We could as well stayed “home.” We came to this magical place called earth to engage in a delusional reality to recreate and redefine our true essence: Divine consciousness. The circumstance we create (or seem to be faced with) have only one purpose, it gives us the opportunity to manifest something remarkable. It gives us the opportunity to express aspects of the Divine, which is our true identity.

It seems that forgiveness is an energy that you are working on and subsequently will be teaching to the world. However, on this physical plain the pain of injustice can feel overwhelming and losses agonizing. Be with the pain, hold the pain, and breathe through the pain- for as long as you need to.

Dear Toby, you are showing us your strength and deep wisdom for your desire to let go. It's an honor to hear your story and I will hold you in my thoughts, knowing that you are a powerful creator, able to do anything you put your mind to.

With love and great admiration.

Toby,
I have met this man named Frank, but I never met the woman that forgave Frank, I would like to meet her some day. I have another story if you are interested in hearing it and I have met the woman that forgave a young man for killing her mother, she told me that she had to forgive the man because she knew it was destroying her.

Your friend,Don

There was a man named Frank who was in prison ministry. I'll never forget his story. He had served 12 years up north in prison for murder. Now he had a larger sentence, but he had worked on himself and changed and I say is still changing today. Frank's story is a story of a woman's forgiveness and what forgiveness is about.

Frank was into drugs in his younger days, and his last day on drugs was one day he didn't remember but one that many others will never forget. He was on acid and on a bad trip and he picked up a claw hammer and beat two men with it. One he beat to death, the other lived.

The day he got sentenced to prison a woman walked up to him and said, “It was my husband you killed. I want you to know that my husband was a good man, and I want you to know that I forgive you for killing him.” She handed him a Bible and said, “This is his Bible and I want you to have it.” And Frank kept it in prison and was released early and got into prison ministry work and still he carried the Bible that belonged to the man he killed.

I tell this story to everyone who tells me they have a hard time forgiving someone for something. Just think about the woman when she was standing in front of Frank and telling him she forgave him and handed him her husband's Bible. Try to imagine what was going through this woman, the love that she must have felt.

This woman knew something that I did not know and it helped me to want to find out more about what forgiveness is really about. I think that our God would not tell us to forgive and not GIVE us something to forgive, I think your brother gave up his life for you. I believe this because my sister gave up hers for me, for me and others to learn the power that is in forgiving and the power that is in not forgiving. Brother my sisters murder was a family thing and there was no arest , but what a lesson in forgiveness for me, I have no problem with forgiveness today. I know today that my sister is not DEAD if she was ever DEAD it was while she was here.

Toby, what ever I can do, you can do also and more !!
I Love Ya, Brother
