The Gift of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is the process through which we heal our
karma with others and release ourselves from carrying
the burden of negative emotions such as anger. It is a
key element of the Shift because our ability and
willingness to forgive others is what will allow us to
raise our energetic vibrations. Forgiveness frees us from
the past, on every level, and allows us to create a new
reality for ourselves, one that is free from chaos and
drama. Until we learn to forgive, we will experience life
situations where we must make a choice to forgive. It
is not only a sign of the shifting times, it is the process
through which humanity will finally achieve peace.
When we extend forgiveness to others, we both give
and receive-we give the gift of forgiveness to others
and we receive it for ourselves. We have to be the
ones to extend forgiveness because we know that it is
a key element of the next phase of our spiritual
journey. Spiritual awareness and understanding imposes
great responsibility upon those who know and because
forgiveness is so important in the Shift process, we will
no longer be allowed to wait until future lifetimes to try
it again. Now is the time for us to put our spiritual
knowledge into practice and as difficult as it may be to
find the courage to forgive others, we must find it
within ourselves to do so.
Once we have forgiven someone, it may be difficult to
know how to interact with them. What do we say if we
have nothing to argue about; what do we talk about if
we can't discuss how they hurt or betrayed us? That
decision is up to us. Sometimes the person we forgive
moves on and they are no longer part of our lives.
Sometimes we have to discover new ways of
communicating and relating to them. One thing that we
cannot do is bring up the issue again-forgiveness must
be complete, unconditional and final. If we still feel the
twinges of pain or anger, then we have not truly
forgiven and we must try again.
What kind of world would we live in if everyone forgave
all past hurts and slights, where no one held grudges or
resentments and we all understood that what we
believe others do to us is experienced through the
illusion of karma? With forgiveness there is no
continuation of the karmic cycle, no reason to hate,
and a release of all of our karmic connections with
others. There would then be no conflict, no war, no
drama and no chaos. Everyone would live in harmony
with others because there would be no reason not to
do so. Can we envision a world like that? We start that
process by creating it in our own lives. Each of us is a
mirror of the world and when we can practice
forgiveness individually in every part of our lives, we
extend that ability to the world. And then there will be
peace-and heaven-on earth.

Blessings to you all!
The October article is posted on the Uriel Heals
website and this month's message is about Forgiveness.
Forgiveness is the key to raising our consciousness and
experiencing the Shift energy. The gift of forgiveness is
one that we give and receive. What would the world be
like if everyone practiced forgiveness? Read more in
this week's article. This week's Today's Children article
discusses the Indigo's 'bulldozer mentality' and how we
can help them develop people skills. Uriel's message this
week discusses who has the answers.

No Way Out
Many of us are experiencing challenging situations with
the Shift energy and have been doing so for the past
three years. And at times it seems that no matter how
hard we try, there is no way out of the situations that
we find ourselves in. We can't leave, get rid of, ignore
or somehow wish them away. They are persistent and
resistant to all of our efforts, at least those that have
worked for us in the past. With the Shift energy, there
is no way out of our dilemmas-we have to work
through them.
Working through these situations requires that we
understand why we are there and how we got there in
the first place. Was it a careless choice, a disregard for
our own needs or a lack of confidence? More often, we
must learn certain lessons in order to move ahead and
create what we do want. So we spend a lot of time
experiencing everything that we don't want. And the
energy right now is relentless. It can appear that every
strategy that we have used in the past to resolve
these situations simply does not work. Now is the time
for us to use different approaches, to work smarter,
not harder, and to trust that once we face the facts,
the solution appears before us.
A few years ago I locked my keys in my car. I had
stopped to run a quick errand and was busy,
overworked, overbooked and doing many things that I
really didn't like to do. Because it was a hot summer
day, I had left my car windows open slightly. Hurrying
back to my car because I was late for another
appointment that I didn't want to go to, I realized that
my keys were not in my purse. My heart sank as I
looked in the car window and saw the keys in the
ignition. There was no one on the street, so I stood
there wondering what to do next (this was before
everyone carried a cell phone). As I stood by my car, I
realized that I needed to clear my schedule and take a
look at what I was doing to myself. I went to make
some phone calls for help and then waited by my car.
After about 45 minutes the man who was parked behind
me walked up to his car. He asked me if I needed help
and I told him that my keys were locked in my car. He
just 'happened' to have some long, thin strips of wood
in his car for a home project and he slipped one through
the open window and opened the door for me. I
cancelled the rest of my appointments for the day and
went home to relax and review my commitments.
As I have often written, what we are experiencing right
now is not a deliberate attempt to make our lives
difficult. What we need to do is slow down, think about
what is going on in our lives, what we are creating and
whether it is really, really what we want. Sometimes
that means getting stopped in our tracks (or getting
our keys locked in our car) so that we can take the
time to assess our life situation and make other
choices. We now have all of the tools at our disposal to
create our reality and to focus on what we really want.
But we must work through the process-we can no
longer ignore, work around or bypass the situations.
They are there for our benefit and as long as we
accept that there is 'no way out' we can start working
on getting through what we need to learn. When we
do, help will miraculously appear and we can be on our
way.

Uriel's Message--Who Has the Answers?
When you are faced with confusing situations, who do
you go to for answers? Do you spend time talking with
others, reviewing the situation countless times and
asking for others' opinions? Do you seek guidance and
counsel from others and see it as more valid than your
own? As you have learned, what works for others does
not always work for you and when you forget that you
have the answers, you look to others hoping that they
will shed light on what you should do next. Have you
considered that since you created the situation you
also have all of the answers that you need to resolve it?
It is natural for you to seek the wisdom and counsel of
others when you have a problem. But that just puts
more energy towards the problem as you are focusing
on what has happened instead of how to resolve it.
Discussing a situation over and over with others serves
to reaffirm the existence of the problem and to define it
as such. There are no problems, only lessons that exist
to remind you of who you are and to help you with your
spiritual growth. Every situation that you define as a
problem is really an opportunity for you to figure
something out for yourself. Asking others' opinions is a
normal reaction but their response will reflect what
they would do and is not always relevant to you.
Sometimes, getting others' opinions can be even more
confusing as you now have several different ways of
resolving the situation. And if you do not take others'
advice, you risk offending them, especially if the
problem persists, despite your best efforts. Consider
whether you ask others for advice because in addition
to advice and help, you also want sympathy and an
acknowledgement of the difficulty that you are facing.
When you go to others for sympathy, you must also
accept their advice and solutions. But their answers
cannot reflect your life situation and cannot consider all
of the options that are available to you. To know that,
you must go to yourself for the answers.
Trusting that you have the answers is difficult when
you acknowledge your responsibility for creating your
reality. The question then becomes, if you already
knew the answers, why would you create the situation
in the first place? Since you learn by doing, your ability
to find your own answers and solutions gives you
confidence in your capabilities and a sense of your own
power. Being able to successfully resolve a difficult
situation proves to yourself that you can make changes
in your reality. The next step is to choose the realities
that you create. Learn to ask yourself 'why am I
choosing to do this' before you take a step in that
direction and your answer may very well prevent you
from creating a reality that stops your journey. Trust
that you have the answers to all of the questions and
you know what to do. Trust in your inner wisdom and
guidance and you will always make the best choices
that serve your Highest Good.

Over and Over Again
There is a new generation of children in the world and
they are known by many names, including Indigo and
Crystal Children, Star Children, Light Children. Whatever
name they are known by, they are a generation that
we have never seen before and they have special
needs, gifts and talents. The Crystal and Indigo
children represent the new, higher energetic patterns
that are arriving to change the Earth's vibrational
frequency.This new series provides information on
these children and the wonderful gifts they bring to the
world.
As the parent of two Indigo children, one of the most
frustrating things that I deal with is watching my
children repeat experiences over and over again. They
never seem to be able to learn to let go of a situation,
no matter how difficult or painful, and will repeat the
experience, even though it generally turns out the way
it did the previous time. Each time they begin the
process I cringe, knowing that they are getting into
another situation that will end badly. My son asked me
one day 'why don't they get it?" I replied that it wasn't
about the other person 'getting it'; it was about him
understanding that the Indigo bulldozer mentality just
didn't work with people and that he wasn't going to be
able to prove his effectiveness to himself by forcing
people to see things his way. He could get the result
he wanted but he was going to have to change his
approach.
The Indigo energy is here to bring change to the world
and they approach this process the way they do
everything else. They know what has to be done, the
best way to do it and they are going to move forward,
pushing aside everything that gets in their way. They
want to change the rules and despite their amazing
intelligence, seem to lack the 'people skills' that it takes
to conduct the process gracefully. My experience with
this has been that they tend to try over and over again
hoping that the next time the result will be different.
This takes its toll on their self-confidence as a number
of disappointments and perceived failures begins to
make them think that they are not capable of the task.
They need help understanding how to deal with people
and how to choose the situations that they will work
with so that they can get the results that they want.
Although Indigos can be very stubborn, they are smart
enough to listen to advice, when it is given in a
thoughtful and considerate way. The approach that
does not work with my Indigos is to tell them that
they're doing things the wrong way. Those kinds of
comments result in arguments and something along the
lines of 'you just don't understand.' What does work is
to review the situation with them, pointing out various
places where other choices could have been made,
different things said and then strategizing to do things
another way. Indigos are not unkind but they can be
thoughtless and disregard others' feelings in their zeal
to make things better. We can teach them the skills
that they need to relate to others so that their
forcefulness is not viewed as threatening to others.
This way they will gain a deeper understanding of how
to relate to others, while still keeping their focus on
changing the rules and doing the work that they came
here to do.
