Forgiveness – A Lighthouse for the Soul

Yeshua on Using Alignment-Forgiveness to Overcome Judgment

June 29, 2026 by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info, Yeshua

[This is the fourth in a series of six messages related to the Infinity Keys, the pairing of the Keys to Self with the Keys to Heaven, which will be the subject of a series of workshops to begin 29 Aug 2026. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements. — Rob]

Rob: So, continuing in our series of going through the Infinity Keys, today being the keys of Alignment and Forgiveness to overcome judgment. So in the past, when I’ve talked about alignment, Yeshua always seemed like the natural choice. Whenever I think of both the words alignment and forgiveness, I think of Yeshua. Nobody exemplified aligning [one’s] will to the will of Heaven like Yeshua did. Nobody goes through the passion without some extreme sense of alignment! And, of course, while he was in the middle of that, he asked everybody to forgive them! So we’ll call in Yeshua.

So, Yeshi, over to you.

Yeshua: Hello, Rob, and greetings to all. Yes, we’ve been here waiting patiently … maybe not so patiently, starting the conversation in the background. So, [we are to talk about] the next in the series of the Infinity Keys, your idea of overcoming judgment using [the keys of] Alignment and Forgiveness.

Of course, having gone through the previous keys, Hope and Connectedness, Humility and Unity, as you accept the idea that you are connected to all, indeed that you are at one with all from the perspective of the Divine, then you naturally come to the point of aligning your will to the will of the Divine. Now that you have accepted that you are part of the Divine, then the next step is aligning your own will to that which is all around you. But as soon as you start to align your will with the will of Heaven, then you quickly realize that, with that alignment, you crash headlong into the realization of your own judgments of so much that you see in the world, so much that you don’t approve of, that you prefer not be the way that it is, the way that you see it.

And with this realization of your own judgments and understanding that all are one and part of the One, and that Heaven holds no such judgments, for Heaven does not judge her own children, so why are you judging so much that you see? It brings into stark relief this conflict within yourself that then gives rise to the need for forgiveness. Forgive yourself for those judgments that you are holding within your heart, perhaps hidden for so long, only brought to light once you attempt to bring your will in line with the will of Heaven. So you then can set about forgiving all that you see.

But understand all that you see was placed there by you for your own experience, and if it’s not what you desire to see, then your forgiveness of others is actually a forgiveness of yourself for judging what it is that you don’t want.

So, at the end of the day, the solution is very simple. Don’t judge. I gave this message so many years ago, asking all others not to judge, and I’m afraid it has gone largely unheeded. But now you understand the full context of why it is necessary. If you are judging, then that means you are NOT in complete alignment with the will of Heaven, and therefore are not able to completely forgive all that you see.

It might begin with forgiveness and that sense of alignment – again, alignment gives rise to the need to forgive – but again, it is forgiving yourself. All begins and ends within the self. This is ultimately the pathway to heaven. All is within yourself.

Forgive all that you see, and that is simply a matter of changing your mind about what you see. In reality, there is no injustice in the world. That is simply your perception of what you think you see. It is all there for a reason.

The Buddha on Radical Forgiveness

March 1, 2026 by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Rob: I see the Buddha sitting in the lotus position, of course, with his back to a tree.

Okay, thank you for seeing me. I’m asking about this phrase “radical forgiveness,” which came to me earlier in the week. Where did that come from? Why did that jump out at me? I’d love to hear your wisdom.

Buddha: Greetings, Rob. Yes, this is the one known as the Buddha, the one who woke up. This has always been an odd expression to me, as if I was the only one who ever woke up! Nothing could be further from the truth. We are all the same. We are all on a journey to understand that, to come to that realization, that we are, in fact, all the same.

And really, this expression that came to you — “radical forgiveness” — is really being absolutely uncompromising in your dedication to forgiving yourself, for ever thinking that you are anything but awake. There is a part of you that is always connected to your Source, to our Source, to the One, that is always awake. You have simply removed yourself from that understanding and put up barriers to prevent yourself from fully experiencing that.

And that was very useful for much of the history of humanity. This is why you came to experience what existence would be like, having removed yourself from your awareness of your Source, of who you are. But the time has come to put that game aside. That play is in its final act, and the curtain will soon close on that particular production.

It seems ironic, though, isn’t it? To wake up, we talk about removing the veil, tearing down the veil, and then I use the analogy of a play where the curtain closes on the production that has now completed. It matters not.

So you are well aware of the need to forgive all that you see. What is unique about this expression, as it came to you, is the word “radical.” Yes, as Yeshua and Mary Magdalene stated [in a recent, previous channeling by my teammate, Jennifer], “radical” is getting at the root, the root of everything, the fundamental cause, the first cause. It’s going back to the very beginning, the beginning of your life here, as a human, in this form, this physical form, seemingly separated from your Source, and forgiving yourself for that.

But its second meaning, that is to be exuberant in that expression, means that you are absolutely uncompromising. EVERYTHING, absolutely everything!, you see must be forgiven. And you are bringing to mind your own personal, favorite definition of forgiveness, to forgive: “for” meaning beforehand, “to give” of yourself the love that you are. It is the act of expressing the love as if nothing happened from before the instance that you were viewing, as if it was something that you find — we’ll call it — distasteful.

Forgive yourself. Put yourself in that place from before any of that happened, for it never actually did. This is all a construct that you have created for your own experience. Accept that experience, understand it for what it is and what it has taught you. But it is then time to let that go and return back to Source, to find yourself in YOUR particular place in the heavenly realm.

In the higher realms, there is so much more to experience. Life on Earth is not the totality. It is simply the beginning. It is one experience. There is so much to look forward to.

Challenge yourself each and every day, no matter what you see, as you feel triggered by one event or another, remember to radically forgive, to get stubborn about that point. “There is nothing I will not forgive!” And as you do so, you will naturally find your connection with the other. You will feel that connection. And once you feel that connection, then you will, in fact, be one step closer to your Source, to the Source of All-That-Is.

Primary Guide Hum-fire (Humphries) on Forgiveness (of Self)

September 14, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Rob: All right, so I think I’m going to ask about the whole notion of forgiveness, and how do we forgive ourselves, to go deeper into that.

I’m just envisioning myself remembering back when Hum-fire and I first started as an emanation from the Mother. It was both of us together, setting out on our adventure.

Hum-fire: Hello, again, all. Yes, this is Hum-fire … Humphries, if you prefer, although that is more Rob’s name for me.

Yes, we started a very long time ago, together setting out on what you’re calling “our grand adventure,” seeing what fun we can have in this universe, in this realm of physicality. Not all of it has been pleasant or fun, but that’s the way we started. That was the intention behind it. Let’s have some fun. Let’s see what this universe has to offer [in terms] of what we can experience.

And we both experienced times of sorrow and sadness and regret about events that have happened seemingly to us, to those whom we love, so your question about forgiveness, this is the grand lesson. This is the whole point of what you should be focused on in these days, as we near ever closer to the point of full ascension of the entire planet, of all peoples, back to a state of love and peace and harmony, the timing of which is completely dictated by your choices in forgiveness.

And yes, as you were arriving this morning, the conclusion that forgiveness is really about forgiving yourself. There is nothing that is happening in the world that was not, at least in part, your creation, perhaps in agreement with many others, that this was the experience you choose to have.

And you may ask, why does there need to be experiences of sorrow and pain and regret? And the simplistic answer is so that you know what the opposite of that feels like, so that you recognize what it is to return to love and unity and harmony.

[When] existing in a realm of complete unity consciousness, infused with love in all things, it becomes rather difficult to discern what that feeling really is unless one experiences something other than that. And one does not understand the full depth of what true unity consciousness [IS], what true harmony IS, what love IS at its core. So we all choose to experience something other than that. That then leads us to the realization that this is not what we want. We prove the positive by witnessing the negative.

But the times for all of that experimentation, I will call it, is coming to a close. It is time to forgive yourself for all that you see. What you judge as good [or] bad, it’s all the same. They’re all just experiences.

So [to] your question of how do you forgive yourself, again, the simple answer is in the recognition of what all of those experiences actually are. Just that: choices that you have made to see something, to teach you something, to witness what is the opposite of what it is that you truly desire, so that you can solidify in your own mind what is it that you desire, that you do, in fact, want the return to unity and harmony and love.

Archangel Gabrielle on Forgiveness (and Trust)

July 28, 2025July 27, 2025 by Rob Loveland, posted in archangels, Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Archangel Gabrielle: Greetings, all! Yes, this is Gabrielle, Messenger of the One, here today to bring you a message, a message of thanks, of gratitude, from all at the Council of Love, the full company of heaven, for all that you do, with what you are doing here today and what you do every day.

Our dear brother, Mikael, reminds you to stay centered during times of chaos. To many, this does appear as a time of extreme chaos, with all the events on the world, within your own lives. Again, [this is a] simple reminder: stay centered, stay in your heart, just as you are here now.

And being in your heart means being connected to who you really are, as divine beings, as representatives on Earth, on planet, to beam that Divine Radiance to all that you see. And whether you are conscious of it or not, you are, in fact, beaming that radiance at all times, and we are ever grateful for you volunteering to assume this role.

I have said many times, the Keys to Heaven: love, trust, forgiveness, unity, connectedness and balance, these are all equal, but today, as your teammate so graciously led us to discuss, [is about] forgiveness. Yes, it is a time for all of you, all light workers, to forgive all that you see.

As Rob often says, forgiveness, the word itself [consists of] two parts: “fore,” meaning beforehand; “to give,” to give of yourself. So in reality, it means to give the love of yourself from a point of time beforehand, that is before any perceived slight or upset ever happened, for, in reality, it never really did happen.

Anything that you perceive as upsetting, that contributes to the chaos that you find in any way upsetting, it’s really a reflection of what is happening within you based on your own belief system.

So I encourage you today, that as you beam out those feelings of forgiveness for all that you see, for all slights that you perceive, that you acknowledge that that is an indicator — anything that disturbs your peace — of something within you, a belief that you need to let go of.

Mary Magdalen on Forgiveness

December 28, 2024December 28, 2024 by Jennifer, posted in Channeling, Mary Magdalene, spiritual guidance

In this channeling group conversation, we were wondering about the practice of forgiveness…and that sparked a really good answer from one of our Council of Love Ascended Masters, my beloved Mary Magdalen. As we approach the New Year, and leave the old one behind, it seems like a valuable spiritual practice to forgive ourselves and each other, to live and let live, to let go and bless. Even more so, it feels like the only path to unity. Enjoy the message… Happy New Year! Love, Jennifer

Jennifer: I’m just aligning and receiving: opening my heart and crown… giving my ego some toys to play with, maybe some candy. Get him all sugared up. For some reason, my ego is a he– it’s very funny! …. Ah, so Maggie is here.

Mary Magdalen: Dear ones, I’m grateful for your presence. I’m grateful for your loving circle. I’m grateful for the opportunity to speak with you after my beloved Yeshua spoke with you at the Fall class [Who’s Yeshua? at OLLI, with Linda Dillon channeling Yeshua on forgiving]. I would be happy to elaborate on both of these topics [the other topic was conspiracy theories, to be posted another time].

Let us begin with forgiveness. Yes, it is extremely important in these times, because it is difficult to hold your divine neutrality without it, whereas if you can say to yourself that you forgive yourself —for your humanity and for everything you didn’t understand that was less than love or that led to an expression of less than the love that you are— you will be elevating yourself to a place where you can observe and offer love both ways, within and without. You see? And forward and backward.

Think also about loving your self-of-40 years ago, 50, 60, years ago, 10 years ago. Love yourself for the mistakes you made. You are human. Life is about mistakes. The human life is a wonderful arena, a playground, in which to make mistakes. And some of you have become so afraid of making a mistake and so punishing to yourselves when you do so. And this is not helpful. This carries a residue of heaviness within you.

First of all, you will feel some anger, because no one should have to carry this heaviness for so long. And secondly, you will carry some shame, because you think that others will judge you, or have judged you, or you have somehow created a mess in a way that is not forgivable. It is all forgivable. It is all forgivable.

As Yeshua said, forgiving is a way to wipe the slate clean, and you do have with your sovereignty, your divine sovereignty, the supreme ability, the divine ability to forgive and to wipe the slate clean. So allow yourself that. Clarity leads to clarity. Allow yourself that purity, which you essentially are, to be the spokesperson for your being, to be the presence, to be your Divine Presence.

So, the forgiving within, and the forgiving without, and the forgiving without works in the same way. You allow others that same tender understanding that they are human. They do not know what they are doing, they do not understand what they are doing, and those few who may understand and still prefer to stir the pot, so to speak, will be forgiven as well, because anyone in the fullness of their own divinity would not choose to create chaos of this type.

And so they are not in the fullness of their own being. They have perhaps forgotten. They have, perhaps at some point, denied themselves the ability to be fully good, to be fully love. They are, in many cases, punishing themselves so harshly that they believe they are only capable of evil, of ill, of mis-creation, you see, so… it’s, well, “If I am not going to love and I’m not going to be loved, then I’m just going to create as much trouble as I can.”

You understand this, you have all had twinges of this, perhaps in a situation in which you were held unjustly apart from the love of those who you love. Yes, this is part of the human experience, all aspects of separation. But is it ultimately true that we are separate from one another? No. This is the illusion. This is the illusion, the illusion of separation, you see. So all are, all are forgivable, and you are capable of forgiving all, as you give them the same loving tenderness that you can offer to your own dear self. And you know your own ability to love and your own desire and longing to be understood and accepted and loved, despite your faults, despite your choices, which at times have caused some harm.

….. I so enjoy our coming together in this way. It is a great pleasure for me, and thank you for all that you are contributing to the world at this time by your being you, in the many ways that that expresses.

Blessings on each of you.
