… There was a moment’s pause and then Self spoke to Ego in a most compassionate voice saying: “My dear, dear Ego, I love you unconditionally and forgive you; can you forgive yourself? Can you recognize that what you did to others was a result of what had been done to you and, even though this does not justify your actions, it does not make you unworthy?” Ego replied, “Even if I could forgive myself, how will those who I have harmed forgive me? Without their forgiveness how can I truly heal and be free?” Self replied, “Dearest Ego, you cannot know the karma of those who have crossed your path. Perhaps you were a catalyst or a teacher. You may have brought an experience into someone’s life to help them to redress their karma. There is so much that we do not know in this dimension, why punish yourself forever? If you stole from someone, now give to someone or to many. You may give your time or your resources. If you abused someone, help those who have also been abused. If you killed someone, now help others to live. Redress the balance of the actions you regret, for example; where there is fear bring unconditional love. Know this Ego, all is forgiven—all is forgivable. You only need to forgive yourself and redress your past misdeeds to be free. This is something that you can do every day. Let it be a joy to do so.” ___ (An excerpt from the chapter Ego/Self: A Fairytale in CSEW, and my book of the same title)
