Actualizing the cornerstones of Faith (Forgiveness, Acceptance and Letting Go)
Forgiveness sounds easy but our mental memory allow the sting of hurt to be fresh in our conscious mind. Therefore the key to forgiveness is rising above these memories in our sub-conscious. We need to reprogram our reaction to the memory so that we do not fear the event re-occurring because very often we attract or search out what we contrarily react to or fear. We see this in dysfunctional relationships in particular. "I hate my mother so I think that I will find a woman just like her and be blind to that fact". Or. " I can not stand my job it makes me feel less than, so I will stay and justify why I do not find a new one". Both examples hurt the individual and they need to find new strength through external forgiveness. External forgiveness first so that they are not distracted when looking internally for forgiveness.
