Wisdom of the Week – Forgiveness

 Lucian Eyers © 2008
 
I was at a dinner party this week when a friend and another gentleman expressed their concerns over the treatment of white people in South Africa. The friend of mine said, “Many whites are now in a very bad way and on the breadline. At least when the whites were in power they would give the blacks jobs. But now the blacks are refusing to give them work – this is wrong.”
I explained that like the rest of the world, South Africa has huge karmic debt accrued by earlier generations of white South Africans and this Karma must be repaid. Now younger generations have agreed to repay that debt at a higher soul level. The quickest way they can do this is to forgive those who choose to not help them.
Another friend emailed me with her concerns over the recent riots in Britain and was looking for comfort in these turbulent times. I will therefore, explain what is happening and how we can stop further unrest.


We are not here on this planet to be controlled by others, but to take control of our own lives. The riots this year started in Tunisia and then Egypt and as predicted by the spiritual community, spread. This unrest will surface everywhere from Moscow to Beijing – London and other cities will not be excluded. The reason is that we are all changing and moving closer towards a 5th dimensional frequency. 5th dimensional people do not let others dictate unfairly to them, yet at the same time they do not believe in violence. This transitional period moving from a 3rd to a 5th dimensional planet will mean there will be violence. It will last as long as there are 3rd dimensional people who exploit our freedom of expression for peaceful demonstrations in order to create chaos. But it is important to remember that we are all here to grow.
These riots represent the desperation of the under-privileged and ill-educated, who are striving to live on very little, often with poor prospects. They are probably unable to respect those in authority when they see leaders who have plenty and where corruption is rife from expenses scandals to phone-hacking.
Government should live in the present. Instead it is more concerned with keeping the financial books healthy, rather than caring for the health and welfare of the people. On Tuesday the government urged people not to seek advice from social internet sites, which it claimed instilled fear. But this is also wrong as it demonstrates more of an interest in control by discouraging people to freely express their views.
The outcome of all this unrest will mean small communities will gradually form, firstly for safety reasons and then later relying on collective skills and resources to survive. Once people have found independence within a community, the need for central leaders will no longer exist.
I repeat the point I made before – we get the leaders we deserve.
It is important to remember that not everyone is as fortunate as ourselves and we should consider how we might behave, if we too were desperate.
How do we solve the problem of social unrest?
Trust that everything is as it should be. From these difficulties a better world will rise, not only for us, but also for future generations. How difficult that journey is – depends on you.
We are here to learn tolerance and mercy, not hatred. Just like the white South Africans who I mentioned at the beginning, we too are repaying karmic debt with this unrest. We must therefore be responsible by ensuring the cycle of negative energy does not continue – and extend healing and not hatred.
A few years ago I undertook a meditation with a very advanced spiritual guide and I asked him how to be a better person. He gave me one word that later became the subject of my the poemI illustrated above. 
The poem helps us to consider that offering care and education to those less fortunate than ourselves, is better than condemnation.
