This desire for liberation may happen when we meet someone who loves and trusts us just as we are, and who sees, through our fears and inhibitions, all that is latent in us and can blossom forth with time. Love calls us forth and, like a magnet, attracts new and deep energies within. This desire for liberation can come through dreams, through moments of inner quietness, or when we experience the presence of God loving us just as we are. For an instant we are no longer controlled by fear, anger, indifference, vengeance, or feelings of despair and unworthiness. A little light is born, a desire to be.
Hope returns to our lives.
To forgive is to break down the walls of hostility that separate us, and to bring each other out of the anguish of loneliness, fear, and chaos into communion and oneness. This communion is born from mutual trust and acceptance, and the freedom to be ourselves in our uniqueness and beauty, the freedom to exercise our gifts. We are no longer contained and held back by fear, prejudices, or the need to prove ourselves. So the sense of belonging that is necessary for the opening of our hearts is born when we walk together, needing each other, accompanying one another whether we are weak or strong, capable or not. This belonging will not bring feelings of superiority if we are walking towards inner freedom.
