Be true to yourself

If you have tried to get into our site for the last four days, you would have noticed that we could not be found. This is because we had a problem with our previous hosting company. I’ll write the details about it in a later post. At this time I have to bring up all our other websites as quickly as possible.

For now, I just wish to write that the original cause of the problem we had with our previous hosting company was that I went against my own teaching of absolute forgiveness and tried to warn people about a company which I thought had harmed me.

I did this even though forgiveness is the linchpin of my hypnotherapy and coaching practices and I always say that holding resentments and not forgiving is the equivalent to drinking poison and expecting the other to suffer.

I tried to warn others because a good friend of mine told me that I owed it to others to warn them from this company (which had cost me a few thousand dollars and a few hundreds of hours of extra work to undo the damage their software had done).

Even at the time I did that I told my friend that I was not sure my motivation was one hundred percent pure. I thought there might be a tinge of revenge and lack of forgiveness involved in my warning others.

Today I was talking to my friend and he remembered our discussion and said it would have been OK by him (to have warned the people with a tings of revenge) and I replied that it would have been OK for him but not for me. I don’t want to judge anyone. The point is that one should be true to oneself.

If you, like me, believe in absolute forgiveness, do that and only that. And if like my friend you believe that people should suffer for their faults, its OK to make people suffer appropriately. I was telling my friend that there’s need for both mercy and judgment. I believe in mercy and forgiveness and my friend believes in justice and fairness. Between the two of us we produce a justice which is tempered by mercy – a balanced attitude which is best.

However, even when you see the good in other attitudes and ways of behavior (other religions, philosophical systems) remain congruent and consistent with yourself – or simply walk your talk. In this case I didn’t and justly I’m suffering for it but I’m happy as I learned a huge amount (including the difficult task of moving many complex websites and blogs from one hosting company to another).

I wish to end this post by reminding you that forgiveness is for all. So I learned my lesson, and now may forgive myself and move on.
