Hello Everyone,
For just a moment, I invite you to consider something. Consider what our world would look like if we lost all LABELS... By labels I mean how we classify entire groups of people and judge them for being who they are, what they believe, or how they conduct their lives.
In the forgiveness healing work I do, I have come to the conclusion that all our issues (pain and upset) stem from our judgments, expectations and labeling of others.
Judging another and deciding they are right/wrong, good/bad... IMMEDIATELY places you AGAINST them, creating hostility within you. Judging someone because you disagree with what they do, their beliefs or a certain lifestyle they choose, causes the one harboring this judgment...stress and dis-ease. The only way your body can communicate with you that you are "off course" with your higher self, your purpose, your truth...is through feelings of pain and upset. The reason you feel bad about something stems from the same root cause. There are very few TRUTHS in my book...but one TRUTH I hold firm on is that anytime we judge or label someone else, it causes SEPARATION within us. This feeling of being separate from another, ourselves or God, has been shown to block life energy from flowing freely in and around us. Separation is not our natural state of Be-ing as it is out of alignment with the Law of Love.
Judging someone for their race, religious beliefs, political views, sexual preference, etc., separates US from entire segments of population. Let us lose ALL labels of christian/jew/muslim, black/white, gay/straight, etc. Labeling people as a drug addict, alcoholic, is the same. Identifying with all these labels limits the people we place them upon for it prejudges them. When we prejudge, we are not coming from the pure love vibration because at some level, we believe something is wrong or bad.
Today is 11/11...a powerful day of new beginnings. I invite you to become present to when you may be judging, labeling or criticizing others (yourself included)!
Remember, our natural state is LOVE. When we withhold love from another, we withhold it from ourselves. Allow everyone to live and let live...to follow their own path they are here to follow. The only one who can choose what is best for you is you...consider allowing others to choose what is right for them.
We all want more peace in the world...but peace can only begin with you and me. Union/Oneness = Health/Love, Separation/Rejection = Suffering/Dis-ease.
Let Us All Live and Let Live...and Love by Example~
Pamela

Forgiving the Unforgivable...
By Pamela Gregory on Monday, November 9, 2010
Hello Everyone,
If you aren't sure IF you could forgive or WHY you would...watch this video clip by Naseem Rakha, author of The Crying Tree, and member of our Forgiveness Healing group... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6BGBEvy1RA
In this very poignant 4 min interview, Naseem shares a true story that very likely will change the way you look upon forgiveness.
I encourage you to watch it for it may help put into perspective those issues in your life that you see as unforgivable.
Regardless of the act, whomever you feel hostility, revenge or anger toward, it only continues to hurt you MORE. Put an end to YOUR suffering and allow yourself to begin healing through forgiveness.
Only by facing our anger and our fears are we able to overcome them..
May We All Live and Love by Example~

Forgiveness at Home Will Help Bring Peace to Our World...
August 27, 2009
Hello Everyone,
The whole world could learn a lot from this very powerful video...and so could each one of us. Regardless of religious preference or no belief at all, this speaks to everyone...
Yes, we've all experienced painful things in life which are difficult to forgive...but how long we allow the pain and anger to continue to hurt us is always our choice. The video below portrays a community that forgave, but when watching this, it occurred to me that the majority of people I assist in achieving forgiveness, 80%+ has to do with a family member, some going back for decades... If we can't achieve peace and forgiveness in our own families, how can we expect there to be peace in the world? Let us all "live what this video teaches..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4WUsr689Y4&NR=1
The families involved in this video practice peace, love and forgiveness in their own homes and lives on a daily basis, making it possible for them to forgive such a horrific act. Yes, they were agonizing and grief stricken over the event, but had no ANGER or thoughts of revenge. How is this possible??? It is possible because they forgave from their HEART and not their head. It is possible because they know that anger kills. It is possible because they know that resentment, hatred and revenge will NOT ALLOW peace to prevail in their lives in any way, shape or form, and in addition will shatter the very foundation of their existence, their truth and everything they stand for as a people. It is possible because they choose LOVE at all cost...and know that the gift of love and forgiveness is ALWAYS the right answer for everyone...
Our Forgiveness Healing group has members from every race, religion, culture and Continent! Individually and collectively, we can create change, but change begins with us first. I urge everyone who reads this to forgive those in your family who have wronged you in some way...after all, what benefit has come from continuing the grievance? After that, you might feel so good you may want to forgive others in your immediate circle and beyond. The ripple effect could be tremendous, but it all starts with YOU! (You can even report back to me to let me know the result and I will share your story here if you like, personal information will be withheld if desired.)
Always remember, when you offer forgiveness... love is what is returned to you in kind... :)
Until next time...
Share LOVE All Ways~
Pamela
