“The Black Hole of Forgiveness” – An Article by Gabriella and Kathryn
It is I, Sananda, coming to you from the bridge of the New Jerusalem. I am here with our beloved Ashtar and his crew, planning the next “Invasion of the Angels.” We are so excited about what you are going to experience in the next few weeks, we can hardly “contain” ourselves. That is a funny idea, isn’t it, since we don’t have containers for bodies up here, but you get what we mean. We are laughing and high-fiving and dancing for joy, envisioning the expressions on your faces when you are newly wealthy, in service to others, free from all dark restrictions, and you then look to the skies and see our glorious armada of sparkling, dancing ships, advancing toward you in a beautifully choreographed two-step!
For us, it is so clear that you have already accomplished what needs to be done to win your freedom that we are planning the celebrations. We understand that to those of you who are watching the TV “news” it seems as if gruesome violence has erupted in every country, every town and every family on the planet, but it is simply not true. The incidents you are seeing now are the contracts being fulfilled which will cause the entire world to be so sickened by the violence that they will turn away in disgust, never to return to thoughts of conquering, dominating or overpowering anyone, ever.
We are grateful for those who have taken on the responsibility of playing the role of assassins and mad despots. They are the ones who will turn the stomachs of the entire population of Planet Earth and thereby turn the tide toward Light. It has been ever thus, Dearest Ones. Humankind has needed vivid dramatizations of cruelty in order to wake them up to the revolting travesties all around them, large and small.
You are now aware that the inhumanities of the Second World War inspired the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, the gay rights movement, and the general feeling that all intolerance and inequality must be eradicated, replaced by tolerance and compassion. It may come as a surprise to you that the perpetrators of the infamous Nazi war crimes, as well as the instigators of various criminal double-dealing behind the scenes were the same ones you now revere as your beloved Ascended Masters and Archangels.
You may be dumbfounded by this idea. Why would God want his strongest and best Lightworkers to perform such abominable actions? It is fairly simple, Beloved Humans. You had all fallen so completely under the spell of the slow descent into evil that you were hypnotized, unable to respond to the day to day cruelties and injustices. You were given many chances to stop the slide into darkness. Remember – Hitler was elected in a free and democratic election. There were many points at which the people could have stopped the atrocities such as the laws which were passed requiring Jews to wear the star of David, and the early and open support of the U.S. Congress and Western bankers who were funding the Nazi war machine.
I use the example of World War II because you are most familiar with its history. Are you also familiar with the massacres perpetrated by Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Stalin, Franco, Mussolini, atrocities against Native Americans, and the people of Armenia, Guatemala, Ukraine, Turkey, Nigeria, Croatia, Sudan, and the Rwanda genocides, which were carried out by people with machetes? All these atrocities and many more could have been stopped if the victims had been supported by their neighboring countries and the full weight of international law had been brought to bear at the beginning of these movements, before the perpetrators had built a tower of might to shield them from expulsion and criminal prosecution. In each case, the warning signs were obvious, and the world turned a blind eye and went back to sleep, allowing the momentum of rage and vindictiveness to build and spew over the land like a volcanic eruption of poisonous ideas and toxic feelings.
We are now in a place in the history of the world where atrocities like these can be prevented. It is a simple thing to eliminate when the leaders of all the major countries are willing to create a fully operational civil tribunal, backed by a simple structure of local and international enforcement which requires only that individuals be arrested and brought to justice when they have performed the first evidence of cruel or inhuman behavior. It need not require tanks, troops and machine guns when the injustices are stopped at their root. No rogue individual or group can stand up against the group consciousness of a nation or a planet.
So you see, this is why we have been helping you to see these things clearly, to use your judgment and your intuitive powers to identify unfairness, inequality and abuse at the moment it is introduced to you, not after the divorce, the genocide, or the perversion of justice, when you stand in the ashes of another disaster which could have been prevented. To take this stand – that you know what you see, and are willing to act on it – is the result of mastery of full consciousness.
Living in full consciousness does not mean you only see what is pleasant, and call everything by a name that whitewashes the truth. This is an unfortunate New Age philosophy and belief system which cripples one’s intelligence and intuitive powers. The principles of forgiveness and the exercise of judgment have been twisted and contorted to create a moral straightjacket as restrictive and suffocating as any religious precepts.
I have asked Gabriella and Kathryn to write a piece to illuminate these serious misunderstandings about what makes a “good” person. They will include their article at the end of my message and post it on their media outlets to make it available for all Lightworkers. It will free many from the guilt and self-doubt which has been imposed by the unnatural demands to “forgive everyone” in the face of personal atrocities and the painful aftermath which remains unhealed.
As you have raised your consciousness and begun to feel the growing group consciousness on the planet, you have also opened your minds and hearts to accept more sophisticated and nuanced ways of looking at the world. It is now time to send old ideas and concepts to the trash heap of discarded irrational ideas, even if those ideas were presented by your favorite Lightworkers last week. Remember, Dear Ones, no idea is sacred. No thought is holy. No teachings are sacrosanct, not even, or especially not mine. Only your heart knows the truth, and it is time now to bring your heart to the fore and leave behind all old strictures and restraints to your full blossoming as a Master.
I love you eternally, without hesitation or conditions. I am Sananda, and I approve this message and the one which follows from Gabriella and Kathryn on the subject of The Black Hole of Forgiveness.

The Black Hole of Forgiveness: The New Age Trap
By
Gabriella Brightlight and Kathryn E. May, PsyD
Let’s talk about the black hole of forgiveness. Many times, people think they are expressing forgiveness when they are really in denial. A false New Age idea has been promoted that to become a loving spiritual being you need to forgive everyone, even if they mistreated, disrespected and mislead you. People are so uncomfortable with anger that it has become a religious practice to skip that emotion entirely, and go directly to shutting down to fit in. This is called “forgiveness.”
There is also a similar New Age idea which goes something like this: we cannot use judgment because judgment is condemning others, and to be a spiritual person, you must love everyone. In fact, scrutinizing, assessing and measuring what is happening is the good use of your intelligence, not an unfriendly act. The cabal worked hard, for good reason, to train us into believing that using judgment is identical to being judgmental. It was a deliberate and brilliant teaching to trick humankind into embracing blindness. If we had truly looked at them with clear judgment, we would have seen through their illusion and they would have been powerless over us.
When you look closely at something, you allow the intuitive red flag response which instantaneously leads you to Truth and away from danger. But this would mean you have to use judgment. Instead, you are expected to be ignorant of what you feel, in order to make other people feel good, especially the ones who are behaving badly toward you. You are expected to accept all people just the way they are, even if, here again… they have mistreated you, disrespected you, and mislead you.
The picture we have just described is so circular (forgiveness, denial, forgetfulness, denial, anger, denial, and blindness) it prevents you from ever getting to the point or the truth of what has actually happened. This attitude puts you forever at risk of repeating the mistakes of the past, when using your judgment and intuition would have allowed you the chance to bring your life to a higher level. So you are stuck in denial, because presumably, expressing who you are and what you think goes against forgiving others. This encourages endless tolerance toward people who should not be permitted the rights and privileges of being close to you.
This brings us to the third lie which leads to the Black Hole: By telling the truth, you are hurting others and “making waves.” This is not socially acceptable will bring rejection and abandonment (from the very people you should have already left behind). While keeping this circular emotional prison you can’t speak truly or express your feelings honestly. You are expected to beam love, or you risk being seen as intolerant, selfish and overly sensitive.
How can you be able to beam love when you have put all the resentment, rage and fear into your stomach, intestines, heart and mind in order to paste a big smile on your face and pretend all is just fine? This is not love, forgiveness, tolerance or spiritual elevation; it is denial. All of it is designed to prevent you from being free, and to prevent you from raising your vibration to be the brilliant Lightworker you really are. You have just signed on to wearing the ball and chain which will prevent you from rising to your own Ascension.
Therefore, denial really means you must put all people, events and personal behaviours that you dislike and that make you feel ashamed, angry, hurt or unworthy into a little box labeled “Things to forget.” This you place in a secret corner of yourself while you give yourself credit for having “worked this out.” By doing this, you adopt the cabal principle: “It happened so long ago it’s no longer true, so don’t bring it up.” Understand, that by doing this you cannot manifest your ideal life, because the vision of your ideal life dies with the denial of yourself.
If you are in denial mode, you can’t forgive yourself and you can’t forgive others.
How to resolve this paradox? First we must understand that there are two real forms of forgiveness.
First, there is the truth and reconciliation form of forgiveness, which takes place between two or more people who are present and aware of the interaction. It requires acknowledgement of responsibility, genuine regret and a heartfelt apology, “I promise I will never do this to you again” and they don’t, ever. Only then is it possible for the injured one to truly forgive and go on in the relationship without compromising their integrity and good judgment. (Beware the false apology which carries a tone of blame and entitlement – the “I’m sorry you made me do it” manipulation.)
The following conditions must be present in order to resolve the conflict:
– The one who has been hurt acknowledges their feelings and offers the other the opportunity to make up for their mistake. This is a gift of trust and good will.
– The person who has hurt another takes responsibility, expresses genuine regret, and asks for forgiveness. It creates an environment in which real closeness and trust can grow. From this fertile ground, a strong and healthy relationship can develop.
Genuine reconciliation and forgiveness requires openness, transparency, mutual kindness and conscious agreement before moving on. If you have not accomplished this, and you decide to stay, you are creating a recipe for disaster. If you haven’t seen all of the above elements, and you “forgive and forget” anyway, you are abandoning your freedom and the opportunity to be authentically yourself. It is wiser to walk away. Compromising your integrity in trade for resolution can only recreate the cycle of resentment and pain.
The second form of forgiveness is a solo mastery of feelings, apart from any continuing relationship. This is not to be confused with the above reconciliation/forgiveness. In this case, the perpetrator is unrepentant, unwilling to negotiate, or absent. This form of forgiveness MUST NOT be used as an excuse for playing on the dark side by supporting another’s bad behavior, or for congratulating yourself for being above it all.
We understand that the internal resolution of pain or injury from the past is the path to peace of mind. In order to accomplish this we must be willing to release all feelings of resentment or victimization, which keep us tied to the perpetrator and the darkness we experienced. Seeing that our own recovery is more important than revenge allows us to make the choice to release ourselves to love again in spite of past hurt.
One who has been devastated by traumatic events or a life without love can lose their grip on themselves, on their faith in God and their self-respect. People who have been victimized can fall into a bottomless pit of self-blame and loathing. It takes courage, determination and focus to restore your Faith and to believe in yourself.
This form of forgiveness is fundamentally about your own recovery and the decision to live in the present, in love with yourself. Embracing the truth of your past rather than trying to deny it makes it possible to restore your sense of self-respect and worthiness. This is a real achievement. Learning to love yourself is the true key to forgiveness. It is the way out of the Dark Hole, and the path to manifesting the ideal life you came here to live.
