Now when we talk about forgiveness, we're not talking about condoning someone's actions

that have done someone wrong, harmed somebody, abused somebody, oppressed somebody,

stolen from somebody, gossiped about somebody. We're not talking about condoning a negative act.

No. Forgiveness is not that. I like to teach that all forgiveness is really self-forgiveness.

What does that mean? That means that the rancor, the resentment, the animosity, the so-called negative emotional content that flows through

an individual if they're living in the vibration of unforgiveness.

That's very harmful to the person who's not forgiving.

Peace and Rich's Blessings.

I am Michael B. Beck with the host of Take Back Your Mind.

Listen, listen, listen, listen,

feel it, easy, deal it, as we're lifted up, into the spirit of's blessings, as you know I am, Michael Bebekwith, the founder, and the spiritual director of the Agapa International Spiritual Center. But today, I am your host of Take Back Your Mind podcast. Obviously, I love that terminology, take back your mind, because we have a mind.

We're not our mind, but we have to mind the mind.

And that is, the mind has been so programmed with thoughts, perceptions, beliefs, opinions,

points of view, positionalities that we had nothing to do with.

Things that we were raised with, things that were bombarded with by societal and governmental propaganda,

religiosity, and more.

And so as one begins to embark or continues to embark on awakening spiritually or growing spiritually,

one takes back their mind.

They begin to be aware that if the mind is going to be programmed because the mind is a set of programs,

then we must be the operator of that which is programming.

Thus I say, we're here to take back our mind so that things don't just fall in and become a part of our subconscious, become a part of our unconscious belief system,

that ultimately becomes a part of our experience, or even symptoms of the body temple.
