~ ~ Forgiving – Forgiveness work ~ ~


Reference from http://de.spiritualwiki.org:80/Wiki/Forgiving

 

The moment we wake up to the bigger perspective, we recognize
that what we call my "stuff" is simply waves in a bigger ocean;
it is not who we really are.
To dedicate our whole life to personal processing
will be to live in a very small box indeed.
In contrast, to feel deep empathy with humanity
and with all sentient beings can open us to a deeper fulfillment
than that gained by having all our "stuff" sorted out.

Chameli Gad Ardagh, Come closer, Living Essence Foundation, Chapter 9, pg. 147, 2006

 

Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len from Hawaii is a remarkable shaman who is now in his 70ties. With a grandfatherly appearance, Dr. Len teaches seminars worldwide and lives somewhat reclusive. As the chairman emeritus of The Foundation of I, Inc. (Freedom of the Cosmos) he was ready to be "discovered" for a bigger audience after four decades of silently delivered clearing work. He has a doctorate from the University of Iowa, a Master of Science from the University of Utah and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Colorado. His forgiving process dissolves problems and is called Self Identity Through Ho'oponopono.

Dr. Hew Len is a former student of the Kahuna healer Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona who had been invited to teach the Ho'oponopono healing method at the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and at therapeutic institutions throughout the world.

In interviews (see audio and video links) Dr. Hew Len reveals his engagement at the Hawaii State Hospital Kaneohe from 1983 to 1987. After one and a half years of his clearing work the endangered ward for mentally ill criminals had no more isolated or shackled patients. Four years later a l l inmates were released from imprisonment and psychiatry. The ward became obsolete and was consequently closed. This remarkable result – a miracle – had remained undisclosed to the eyes of the world for 20 years!

HO'OPONOPONO
Report on a highly effective Shaman healing method


In the year 2003 Joe Vitale, author, internet hypnotic marketeer on personal improvement and one of the experts in the popular movie The Secret, heard about an unusual success story of the therapist and psychologist Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len from Hawaii. He was told that Hew Len had literally healed a whole ward of criminally insane inmates – without ever having seen anyone of them. The cure of these criminals was effected by simply studying their files, writing down their names, taking full responsibility for each one of them while exercising intense inner forgiveness work thereby rendering all his own judgments, beliefs, attitudes to the Divine petitioning it to erase the shared program with the other person. With each patient Len took a deeper look inside to address the very aspect within himself that had created the illness in the person in front of him.

As he was "improving" himself, the state of the inmate did improve correspondingly.

 

When Vitale heard this story for the first time, he doubted it wondering:

  • How can a human being heal another one by healing himself?

  • How does the best self-improved master heal criminally insane?

These ideas seemed illogical to him. So he dismissed the message as an urban legend and forgot about it.
 

To take total responsibility meant for Vitale that one is responsible for what one feels, thinks and does, not for that what others might feel, think, or do. Beyond that, he thought, one cannot take charge. His attitude was in sync with that what most people incorporate. This, however, does not coincide with the bigger reality.

A year later Vitale came across Len's story again. He was told that the psychologist had applied a Hawaiian healing method called ho'oponopono. Unfamiliar with this kind of healing and unable to forget its effect a second time he decided to find out more about it. He dialed the Hawaiian therapist's phone number. And – following an impulse – Dr. Hew Len answered the call, which he rarely does. Their first phone call on the advanced perspectives of life lasted about an hour. It turned out that Vitale had met his teacher on taking full responsibility for what is.

Dr. Len told Vitale that he was employed at Hawaii State Hospital Kaneohe for four years. The psychologists at the ward where the criminally insane inmates were kept quit on a monthly basis. Afraid of being attacked by those dangerous patients they passed through the ward the staff walked with their backs against the wall. They called in sick oftentimes or simply left. The ward was a dire location.

The therapist Len did not meet any of the patients one on one. He had an office where he reviewed their charts and then worked on himself. The result of which was: the patients began to heal.

Len reported, After a few months, patients that had to be shackled were being allowed to walk freely.
Others who had to be heavily medicated were getting off their medications. And those who had no chance of ever being released were being freed, he went on. The staff began to enjoy coming to work. Absenteeism and turnover disappeared. We ended up with more staff than we needed because patients were being released, and all the staff was showing up to work. Today, that ward is closed.

Listening to this Vitale was in awe. He burnt to ask the million dollar question: What were you doing within yourself that had those people change?

Len replied: I was simply healing the part of me that created them.

Vitale was perplexed and asked Len to explain what total responsibility for one's life means. In a literal sense the entire world is your creation. That is why everything which is in your life is your responsibility.

Being responsible for what everyone in his life says or does was a tough load to swallow for Vitale. This was not part of his worldview. Yet, taking complete responsibility for one's life, concerns everything that one perceives and takes in, including terrorism, the government, the economy. All the unliked topics are in fact projections from inside oneself and therefore one's responsibility to heal. The "outside" problems are indeed "inside". To change them means to change internally.

Vitale felt this was hard to grasp, and harder to accept or to actually practice it. He found blame far easier than taking full responsibility.
Dr. Len explained to him that in ho'oponopono healing means loving oneself. Improving your life means to heal your life. Curing an ill person, a criminal even, means to heal yourself.

How did Dr. Len manage to heal himself? What exactly did he do, while he studied the patients' files?
 

He replied: I just kept saying repeatedly

  1. I'm sorry for that – within me.

  2. I forgive you – within me.

  3. I love you – within me.

Loving oneself is the essential way to grow.

Improving one's inner self is improving one's world.

 

Forgiveness and release work by Dr. Hew Len

The inner love and forgiveness work promoted by Dr. Hew Len comprises four steps. The transfer to the Divine and the answer from All-what-is follows in the fifth and sixth step:

  1. To acknowledge the ugly situation in oneself
    I am sorry – within Self.

  2. To forgive the ugly situation in oneself
    I forgive me / you – within Self.

  3. To love the learning situation in oneself
    I love you – within Self.

  4. To express gratitude for the learning situation and for the immanent transformation in oneself
    I thank you – within Self.

  5. To surrender the radically tenderly freely loved situation in oneself to Divinity;
    Letting go and Completion →
    I surrender this to Thee o Lord.

  6. To enthrust the situation to God's Will and to possibly witness
    how it evolves and changes
    I am willing to witness a miracle.

Fault register method of David Hawkins
All negative reactions are not caused from outside; it’s how we choose. The way to become bulletproof is to own anything that seems a fault. Day Seminar Emotions and Sensations, Creative Life Center, Sedona, AZ, April 17, 2004

Taking 100% Responsibility –
Fault register work

Write down all your faults.
Write down all the faults others think you have, even if you think they’re liars.
You take responsibility for it all.
If you own it all, nobody has any way to attack you.
If others attack you, it’s because you’re not owning something.
Besides, there’s nothing wrong with being stupid and ugly. (Laughing)
So we admit our faults, and we stop labeling them faults.
We have to get over narcissistic sensitivity.
All negative reactions are not caused from outside; it's how we choose.
The way to become bulletproof is to own anything that seems a fault.
The way to overcome the ego's
reaction to that is to say,
I'm stupid and ugly!? It doesn’t matter; God loves me.

Three Stages of Development / Evolution of Consciousness

Joe Vitale's personal journey in life went from

  1. Ten years of homelessness and poverty to

  2. Goalsetting, the illusion of total control as a hypnotic success coach and expert of movie The Secret

  3. Trusting the Divine Will through Inspiration, following the flow, no more personal goals.

He describes the three stages :

  1. Victimhood – Feeling subjected to life's whims

  2. Creating one's own reality, power of internal Intention

  3. Spirit of Trust, Cleansing the Shared Program with all and everything, Accepting and Surrendering to the Divine Will/Intention

Now he is able to recontextualize. When he ran into a problem with other people

In stage 1 : He blamed and helpless. He felt a grudge, resentment, anger.

In stage 2 : He reacted outwardly with methods of influencing

In stage 3 : He takes full responsibility and cleanses inwardly with Ho'oponopono.

 

Dr. Hew Len: You have choice, but you don't have control.

Joe Vitale: At "zero limits" you don't even have choice. Even choice is a sign that more cleansing it to be done.

Quotes of Dr. Ihaleakala Len, audio interview, News for the Soul, August 2007

 

  • ALOHA = I am in the presence of GOD.

  • I am not here to fix people. They are perfect already. They are created in the exact likeness of the Divine. What is imperfect in me is the data that says, that they are not divine.

  • The problem always originates within the self and never outside.

  • Visitor to Dr. Len: Oh, you work in a psychiatric unit?

  • Dr. Len: No, I work in a psychiatric world.

  • Our perception is: other people are stuck. That's our problem. [...] As long as we don't get to that we are stuck. [...] We are in fact preventing other people from experiencing who they are: God.

  • I am not cleaning you. [...] I am cleaning the [subconscious] data of my perception about you.

  • It is very important to know that we ourselves don't make decisions. […] when something inside us moves us we want to be clear that it is an inspiration from the Divine, not from data plane from the past.

  • Visitor to Dr. Len: Are you a Shaman?
    Dr. Len: No,
    I am just a garbage collector.
    Am I a healer?
    No, Divinity can do that.

  • I like nasty (stuff), it tells me | should look at something in myself.

    • Every cloud has a silver lining. Phineas T. Barnum, Struggles and Triumphs, 1869 [Silver lining means inspiration.]

Quotes of Morrnah Simeona †, Kahuna healer

 

Source: Beyond Traditional Means: Ho'oponopono, Interview with Morrnah Simeona and Dr. Stan Hew Len, Deborah King, The New Times, Seattle, WA, April, 1989

  • We can appeal to Divinity who knows our personal blueprint, for healing of all thoughts and memories that are holding us back at this time. It is a matter of going beyond traditional means of accessing knowledge about ourselves.

  • We are the sum total of our experiences, which is to say that we are burdened by our pasts. When we experience stress or fear in our lives, if we would look carefully, we would find that the cause is actually a memory. It is the emotions which are tied to these memories which affect us now. The subconscious associates an action or person in the present with something that happened in the past. When this occurs, emotions are activated and stress is produced.

  • The main purpose of this process is to discover the Divinity within oneself. Ho'oponopono is a profound gift which allows one to develop a working relationship with the Divinity within and learn to ask that in each moment, our errors in thought, word, deed or action be cleansed. The process is essentially about freedom, complete freedom from the past.

  • Western people have great difficulty in putting the intellect behind. It is difficult for the Western mind to get a grasp of a Higher Being because in traditional Western churches, the Higher Beings are not made evident. Western man has gone to the extremes with his intellectualism it divides and keeps people separate. Man then becomes a destroyer because he manages and copes rather than letting the perpetuating force of the Divinity flow through him for right action.

Quotes on the topic Forgiving / Responsibility

  • When one realizes that one is the universe, complete and at one with All That Is, forever without end, no further suffering is possible. David R. Hawkins, |. Reality and Subjectivity, pg. xxii

  • If we take responsibility for being the author of our world, we come close to its source where we can correct it. David R. Hawkins, I. Reality and Subjectivity, pg. 22

  • All life ebbs and flows. Everyone is born, suffers afflictions, and dies. There are happiness and sadness, catastrophe and success, increase and decrease. The stock market rises and falls. Diseases and accidents come and go. The karmic dance of life unfolds in the karmic theatre of the universe.

  • All reactions to life are subjective. There is nothing happening that is awful, exciting, sad, good, or bad. It is pointless to hold a position that catastrophes shouldn't 'happen' or that the innocent 'didn't deserve it', or 'isn't it awful', or 'it must be somebody's fault'. With a broad view, one can remain unperturbed by either the content or the context of life. That requires giving up judgments, expectations, or 'sensitivities'. David R. Hawkins, I. Reality and Subjectivity, pg. 179

  • The universe always favors power. Moveorver, the universe does not forget. We shall eventually have to accept responsibility for every thought, word, deed we generate and will re-experience exactly the same suffering we've caused. We do create our own heaven or hell. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I, pg. ?

Quotes (German) on the topic Forgiving / Responsibility / Mitverantwortung
 

  • Wenn wir Verantwortung übernehmen, der Urheber unserer Welt zu sein, kommen wir der Quelle nahe, wo wir sie korrigieren können. David R. Hawkins, I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 22

  • Kugelsicherheit (Immunität) stellt sich ein, wenn man volle Verantwortung für die kollektive Negativität übernimmt, die möglicherweise auf einen selbst gerichtet wird. FU Dr. David R. Hawkins, Seminar The Highest Level of Enlightenment, Q&A-Teil, Teil 3 von 6, Min 33:27 (Mitte) (engl.)

  • Ich bin erstens voll verantwortlich für alles,
    zweitens bin ich dennoch ganz abhängig vom anderen. [...]

    Beide Einsichten zusammen möchte man am liebsten abtun: als Widerspruch in sich. Unerträglich scheint vielen die Gleichzeitigkeit von ungeschmälerter Verantwortlichkeit, auch für Handlungen, die ihre Partner gegen sie richten, und gänzlicher Abhängigkeit selbst da, wo sie sich privatissime fühlen: in ihren Träumen, ihren Gedanken, ihren Entscheidungen. [...] Das bedeutet, Unbewusstes bewusst werden zu lassen, genauer: das Verflochtensein durch unser unbewusstes Handeln anzunehmen. Michael Lukas Moeller, Die Wahrheit beginnt zu zweit. Das Paar im Gespräch, S. 178/179, rororo, 1988

  • Die erste energetische Beziehungsarbeit ist, anzuerkennen, dass jeder seine Gefühle selbst macht – auch die, von denen er oder sie allzu gern annimmt, sie seien ihm oder ihr 'von außen' hervorgerufen. Michael Lukas Moeller, Die Wahrheit beginnt zu zweit. Das Paar im Gespräch, S. 210, rororo, 1988
