To say I unconditionally forgive everyone and everything is an understatement. There is nothing to forgive.

Post by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes »

This is a discussion forum topic related to the book, In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All.


To say I unconditionally forgive everyone and everything is true enough but also an understatement.

As my book, "In It Together", teaches, to fully let go of the imaginary hellish superstition of unacceptability is to also realize, "there is nothing to forgive".

In blunter but simpler words, to fully practice unconditional acceptance, is to realize, there is never anything to forgive.

There is no wrongness to fear, see, remember, or forget.

When I say to forgive but not forget, I am not saying to remember the wrongness, but rather to realize it was never there in the first place, and instead remember only the cold hard easily accepted and loved facts, not any illusions of resentment and judgementalism, and not any superstitious illusions like "they should have known better", "they did know better", or "it could have been different", all pure illogical nonsense. I'm not asking you to remember or forget those things, but to realize they never ever existed to be noticed, remembered, or forgotten. You don't need to forgive them for doing it despite knowing better because they didn't know better. You don't need to forgive it for not being different because it couldn't have been different.

When I say to observe without judgement or resentment or hate, I am not saying to fail to hate hate-worthy things or to fail to resent unacceptable things. I'm saying to realize there are no such resentment-worthy things to actually observe. They are only tormenting fictional phantoms created in your imagination, not real, not really there in actual reality.

Wrongness/incorrectness etc. is unreal/untrue by definition.

In other words, there is no hate-worthy aspect of true unchanging reality to hate. There is no resentment-worthy aspect of unchanging true reality to resent. To see that fundamental eternal eyes-closed truth is what it means to fully and unconditionally accept what you cannot control, and accept and take accepting responsibility for how you control what you can, and thereby fully accept absolutely everything without any resentment or hate towards any real thing or real aspect of reality at all.

Every single thing is to be fully accepted (a.k.a. loved): either accepted as (1) what you cannot control, or (2) as being exactly the way you are choosing for it to be.

Thus, from the previous paragraph, to be logical we must conclude: Everything is acceptable, meaning nothing is worthy of resentment, hate, or unforgiveness.

This is an acceptance so full and unconditional that it can be called love. Thus, in other words, it is hereby logically proven: Everything is lovable.

So just love everything.



There are no shoulds and oughts. Thus, there is never anything to forgive.

My entire political philosophy summed up in one tweet.

"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."

I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.
