The same process was like that for me too Conscious thoughts:
A bit more about myself as a person who was the bully, who was a hater of others, and very selfish growing up. Had a few times were mentally abusive to other people Family, even two of the girlfriends had in life, a long with many other ups and downs in life including drugs, family relationships, and meeting people through out life and experiencing it.
I personally : Believe in the bible ` What Jesus Christ talks about forgiving your enemies, pray for your enemies, love those who persecute you ' 'Forgive as the Lord has forgiven us` are some things that are true to me in my belief when it comes down to forgiving those who have done bad; or even if a person has done bad acts themselves, there is forgiveness that can be found in Jesus Christ -
Matthew 5:44 - Jesus said love your enemies
Colossians 3:10-13 - Forgiving others, forgiving as the Lord has
Colossians 1:13-14 - Redemption - Forgiveness of sins
(Some may not believe this and it is up to them to decide whether what the bible says is real or not)
There is so much to learn about in the bible. Especially if you start at the first chapter, of whatever book. Then ask these questions.
Who, What, Why, When, How, Where as you read along if you choose to do so, and you decide what is true or not. ~ Cause what I might have said here may be wrong.
Thank you for your comments, Conscious.
What would you say about your life afterward letting go of those things that once plagued your past life?
