It rips you apart and poisons your mind. It turns you against the world and makes you unclean. May we all find forgiveness and forgive those who poison us.
Indeed. Years ago I dislocated my elbow in a soccer game, from a dirty rubgy style tackle by an opponent. Dr's set it and I went off to rehab. Years later it was basically fine but still bugged me every once in a while. And when it did that whole event would come flooding back, and I would picture the random dude who hurt me, and wish I saw him on street for payback. I would get so worked up and angry. One day I had a vision of all that anger I had toward him was trapped in my elbow. And I realized that I was the only one who hasn't moved on from that event. After working on forgiving and letting go for a bit when it came up, my elbow is back to 100%
I learned how to do the forgiveness action last year. I had come into conflict with my brother and we were both angry. I went on a 4 week walkabout and healed and he stayed angry all though the fall, ignoring his anger, all the way back home to the Philippines. One has to be open to coming back when there is still time because doors do close. Its like that here now. Preserve your peace.
The Holy People would be very proud of you for carrying the flame in these times and for continuing to relay the sacred teachings, may the Great Spirit continue to bless you and protect you in the dark days ahead.
From a Scottish Irish Viking blood, it’s very hard to for give someone who is trying to destroy your way of life, take away what freedom you have, tell you, you do as I say! This is hard!! All I ask leave us alone, let us live the old way!!!
Forgiveness is easy when you see people feeling bad,when they have done something wrong.. but i bet there were never any real psychopaths or narcissists when these rules were made. With the upbringing and traditions - their way of life - i feel they avoided this "mind-plague" that we are seeing these days.. We have lost our way. No real honor based on understanding and compassion among the younger people- at least in my country..
Saying I did not intend to do that rather than sorry sounds way more intentional because there’s a lot of people that say sorry but don’t mean it it’s like a quick fix but if things are explained more, there’s more feeling, I think.
FORGIVENESS IZ A BLESSING. REPENTANCE IZ A MUZT. AND BOTH ARE FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERZ. MAY WE BE WIZE N CORRECT WITH HOW N WHOM WE FORGIVE N Y N HOW WE REPENT. GOOD IS FOR THE BLESSED N FOR THE WICKED A GREAT REWARD.
@Let Your L⚡️GHT Forever Shine ❤️ Research the Christian's Doctrine of Discovery and the Christian's Manifest Destiny. Also read the Entire American Constitution, "We the People " are the three most misunderstood words in American His-story.
I got to a certain age, maybe early 30s and realized forgiveness is a kindness to yourself to not harbor negativity ,but also to not forget when you see unfavorable situations fall on those who have wronged you and know they don't deserve your piddy.
@@donnawoodford6641 thanks for the spelling correction. I was into the fire water when I wrote this and for the life of me could not figure out to spell pity. It's not a word I use often lol
Part of forgiveness is not pity, but compassion. What you are describing is neither forgiveness nor pity, but a type of vengeful pleasure in someone else's fall. There is no place in forgiveness in either of these.
In looking at the other comments here thus far, I am worried that many people have missed your point. Asking forgiveness is a good thing to unburden your own soul, and accepting someone's apology is just as difficult yet just as important for the entire tribe to grow from that experience.

Forgiveness is very challenging for most people. If someone has done a person wrong, the person who had been wronged will want revenge because it sends a message to the wrongdoer and everyone else that no one does that thing to them. Unfortunately, it becomes a vicious cycle. Thank you for the words of wisdom, sir.
Some people live right because doing otherwise would have the world look upon them in contempt, others do right because otherwise they would feel contempt for themselves.
There's forgiveness and there's letting go of anger. If the perpetrator isn't remorseful, then forgiveness is dangerous. The perpetrator will repeat the offense. But, letting go of anger, doesn't mean that one trusts.
@@ellanina801 @Ancel forgiveness doesn't mean accepting unacceptable behavior. It does mean letting go of feelings of resentment and revenge, but you can still take measures to protect yourself from a repeat offense, while still forgiving them (letting go of resentment and revenge). Forgiveness happens in your heart, mind, and spirit; while preventative and corrective measures happen in the flesh and material realm.
@@simtaur714 Forgiving would be harm in some instances. To forgive also means to relieve someone of their debts, but the person must be worthy of that forgiveness. P€dophilia and r@pe definitely are things that should be accounted for, as they are theft of something of great value. And being punished for being a victim and/or being punished for standing up to abuse are things that do not elicit the need for forgiveness-that is also theft of something of great value. Removal of children from loving parents is also a debt that should not just be forgiven-especially, when those children are placed in the hands of abusers. I do not seek revenge, but I will forgive the debt when the karmic balance is settled. I am peaceful in my pursuits, but I have a fire burning in my heart. There is a gross imbalance in the world, and too much forgiveness is actually quite toxic. Too much forgiveness is like a beetle that eats the tree and weakens her. If she succumbs to the beetles, then she is is vulnerable to other diseases. When she is strong, she allows the fire to burn, the beetles and all of the other diseases die. The fire returns nutrients to the soil and when the rain comes, they feed her. When this happens, the tree may actually survive. Her seedlings may grow, but they are less likely to survive when the big trees don’t survive and protect them. Seriously, look: anytime there is a forest fire, many trees do survive. Obviously, the fire must also be kept in check or the opposite is also true (so too much of the unforgiving fire is bad). It’s a balance. When a victim forgives their abusers, they are more likely recede into the same and to be re-victimized. When victims and society forgives the abusers, those abusers will definitely continue abusing. It allows the cycle to repeat. Just look at the statistics (1 in 4 children are SA’d; 1 in 4 women; that rate is higher if you’re Black, Indigenous, or LGBQTIA). The numbers are going up, so forgiveness isn’t working. If I were to forgive the debt that is owed to me, and if all others like me were to all forgive those debts, then the disease is going to continue to spread. “Forgiveness” is something that is the best friend of abusers until balance is regained. You cannot stand up to fight injustices without some fire burning, nor without some sense of pursuit of justice. A grey rock will always be just that, and nothing gets done. You do not have to agree, I do not expect you to. I have more peace in my soul allowing my fire to return nourishment to my roots, and so that I will remain strong for the seedlings so that they will hopefully grow strong and resilient. If I simply forgive all that is done, all those who have died will have died in vain. If I simply forgave, well, I would t be working to break the abuse cycle. ✌️ 💜 🟰

Beautifully said. The Bible agrees with the Din'e. Jesus when teaching how to pray to his father taught that you should forgive people so that your heavily father will forgive you.

What if the family members do things that are reprehensible to the society? I understand not exacting revenge, but if they are not sorry, how can we let them live among us and poison us all?
In a different video on forgiveness, he pointed out that the tradition is to have the injured party go to the offender and say you are the only one who can make this right. This is what has gone wrong and you are the only one who can fix it. When confronted, psychologically ill, toxic people will explode and lash out at everyone around them, rather than admitting what they do, or change or make amends. I don't know for a fact but I expect there would be a group of people in a family or tribe who would go to the offending party and confront them to try to help them alter their behavior. It's very difficult for someone who has been attacked to stick up for themselves this way and it usually doesn't work. All the best to you!
@@k8eekatt But what if you cannot. I was gang raped by three priests when I was 15. It was horrifying what they did to me. Pure,unmitigated evil. I then buried it. It did not come back out til 35 years later in my helping another victim. These evil priests? Two are dead. The third? I actually wrote telling the horrors they perpetrated upon me, how it affected me, begging them to come clean, and at least apologize. They never responded back. How do you forgive this?
You had a major impact into my life from this video... shortly after I watched and took your words in I was tested in that feeling of forgiveness and I took it. So I want to thank you. It was between my mother and I. ❤️
This is very important, and it gets forgotten everywhere. I know that in my religion we put lots of focus on kindness and forgiveness and many people will say that forgiveness is to not acknowledge the bad things that a person has done and that if someone did something bad they shouldn’t have to forgive and move on. But eventually you will have to, because it can cause you so much pain and misery. To forgive doesn’t mean to excuse someone’s actions, it just means to let yourself keep going without a burden of bad energy looming over your shoulders.
Yes. I was so hurt by people I thought loved me. Long story. I was very angry. Anger turned into hate. Hate turned into rage. I promise you. They didn't care. My anger only hurt me. I turned to yoga, meditation and walking. I could finally forgive. I did it for me. Sweet relief and I learned so much. I love my extended family but I have to keep my distance ...
Пусть мир немного помолчит Навахо будет говорить И жест протянутой руки Как приглашение зайти И все прошедшие сюда Мы будем слушать мудреца Какой же мудрый тот народ Где Дух Прощения живет И надо очень сильным быть Найти те силы и простить Остаток горечи забыть Свободным и счастливым жить Ав:Шамшурина Н.М.
Someone did something to me, on purpose, pure meanness! She did not harvest the reward she expected ($) from this action, which to me, was "revenge" enough to me. I removed her from my circle of friends, in person and on line. Forgiven she will never be (she hurt my dog!) and neither will her actions be forgotten.
To innerstand how forgiveness works was my hurdle. I said it until I felt divorced from negativity. Letting go with forgiveness is bliss. Circles back to love. Love is the path.
asking for forgiveness is a humble act, what is cruel is that the person does not accept it or understand it as a debt. ask for forgiveness must be sincere, and forgive the same. only then will there be peace for all
This a bit confusing to process if one is recovering from childhood wounds that involved physical and verbal abuse and abandonment by parents. It is also hard to even think about forgiving someone who has molested you or a loved one. Cultivating compassion and understanding that the person who harmed you was/is struggling is one thing. And even with horrible hardships, one can be grateful for their life, its lessons, and blessings. While I can recognize the people who hurt me and other loved ones suffered as well, I'm still processing the trauma and harm adults placed on a small child. Maybe this video lesson is not about those sorts of harms.
I also went through this as a child and have anxiety and panic attacks and am still processing some things in my 40s. I was able to forgive the person who molested and abused me when I realized we are all Gods people, He loves us ALL even sinners and we are all sinners at different times. Yes some do worse things than others but I realized that judging that was a burden. Only God can justly judge and so I let it go and left it to God. I’m a better more loving person for it even though I struggle with post traumatic stress from my trauma. I am getting better
I think you can forgive someone without wanting to have a relationship with them. If someone is toxic and abusive and refuses to change, I think it's ok to say "I forgive you and love you but I can't be around you because you hurt me."
Being around criminals and haters....I know these philosophy will never permeate their souls....dry inside like the rock in the fountain when split open.
I'm curious to know what Grandfather's wisdom is when we think of atrocities such as white supremacy, racism, colonization, genocide, child rape, missing and murdered Indigenous women, residential schools/boarding schools and all the children we lost at those schools. I really struggle with forgiveness on these things. About all the things that happened to my ancestors as a result of these things. Knowing that these still exist. That the KKK is still out there committing atrocities. That so many people turn a blind eye and continue to allow these atrocities to continue. That the police are still killing people of colour. That reparations have not been adequately made to survivors of residential schools. That prisons are filled with people of colour. That treaties with the First Peoples around the planet are still not honoured. That corporate entities have more say in what happens to Mother Earth and that their profits are more important than the people.
Very nice and a way to be at peace and stay balanced. If you let something fester inside for too long or too great. It will consume you in a very damaging way. I love this forethought in the video
@0Y0 Thank you for your reply. Is it ok to separate yourself from the person or persons who are doing the abusing? Or just pray for separation and protection.
Forgetting can be part of forgiveness. It's quite burdensome to remember all the wrongs that have been committed against you and for many they have daily reminders of that. For me I always get angry when I remember the wrongs done against me, 90% it's just anger but the 10% a part from that is just complete disappointment, and heartache. The type of heartache that simply makes you cry in silence in your room in the middle of the night, that's what makes me miserable the most and for many it's no different. Forgetting is not just about the other person or person's. The most important component of forgiveness is the most obvious thing "You". You can either hold yourself back or free yourself in order to have a free and peaceful mind and a joyous spirit again
Wado For your excellent efforts. Forgiveness is the best thing ever. When I was able to forgive my parents, it was like a weight was lifted off my heart. Am so grateful to my grandparents for imploring me to forgive. All struggle is educational. Miyutake oyasin Am also grateful for you and all the Dine Wally. Wado..
Thank u sir NEVER offend my MOTHER and FATHER all my community has turned against me ive forgive my mother if she stop LYING wow love your traditions SPIRITUAL WARRIOR 🙏
Usually when someone wrongs you,they are setting you up,hoping you will seek revenge,they may have a dirty cop behind the scenes just waiting on you to mess up.No matter how mad or hurt you are,don't fall for the trap remember(MAN WILL DOMINATE MAN TO HIS OWN INJURY)Don't give them that power.Let them destroy themselves.
You don't need to even see that person to forgive them. I have been through a lot. I have been mentally, physically, chemically, and sexually abused since 3 to an adult. I have been raped as an adult and have a beautiful child. It's hard to forgive those that really hurt you. But I found it is even harder to forgive yourself even when you thought it was your fault and it was not. I'm not saying that it's not going to still give me nightmares etc. But for the most part I feel freer and that I by forgiving I'm not holding on to it. (Not making me more stressed)
True forgiveness requires another to admit they were wrong and ammends made for harms done. Without true remourse and changing ones ways it's just a loophole word others have used to exploit and to continue abusive behaviors. I must say that forgiveness to ones self for being taken advantage of is a harder pill to swallow after multiple ultimate betrayals by those we should have just walked away from decades ago.
Forgiveness does not equal allowing others to continue to harm you. That’s a type of abuse and ideally you should remove yourself from the situation and forgive the person from afar.
It rips you apart and poisons your mind. It turns you against the world and makes you unclean. May we all find forgiveness and forgive those who poison us.

These evil priests? Two are dead. The third? I actually wrote telling the horrors they perpetrated upon me, how it affected me, begging them to come clean, and at least apologize. They never responded back.
How do you forgive this?
You had a major impact into my life from this video... shortly after I watched and took your words in I was tested in that feeling of forgiveness and I took it. So I want to thank you. It was between my mother and I. ❤️
This is very important, and it gets forgotten everywhere. I know that in my religion we put lots of focus on kindness and forgiveness and many people will say that forgiveness is to not acknowledge the bad things that a person has done and that if someone did something bad they shouldn’t have to forgive and move on. But eventually you will have to, because it can cause you so much pain and misery. To forgive doesn’t mean to excuse someone’s actions, it just means to let yourself keep going without a burden of bad energy looming over your shoulders.
Yes. I was so hurt by people I thought loved me. Long story. I was very angry. Anger turned into hate. Hate turned into rage. I promise you. They didn't care. My anger only hurt me. I turned to yoga, meditation and walking.
I could finally forgive. I did it for me. Sweet relief and I learned so much. I love my extended family but I have to keep my distance ...
I needed this.
It really isn't about being sorry, it's more about correcting mistakes and that starts with forgiveness.
I particularly love those colors in the blanket this week! 🐊
Communication is key to any chance of finding a resolution and forgiveness.
me too, love these collours!
Thank you for the reminder to forgive.
Thank You SO Much This Channel is WONDERFUL🌻!🙏🏾💞🌏🌎🌍🌌
Thank you team for another wonderful teaching! ❤️
This is both wise and beautiful. Thank you.
So true
Unforgiveness is like a sentence on someone....leaving sadness like...a wake behind you
MINHA GRATIDÃO,,🙏♥️❤♥️❤❤⚘⚘
Пусть мир немного помолчит
Навахо будет говорить
И жест протянутой руки
Как приглашение зайти
И все прошедшие сюда
Мы будем слушать мудреца
Какой же мудрый тот народ
Где Дух Прощения живет
И надо очень сильным быть
Найти те силы и простить
Остаток горечи забыть
Свободным и счастливым жить

Спасибо .✍️
Someone did something to me, on purpose, pure meanness! She did not harvest the reward she expected ($) from this action, which to me, was "revenge" enough to me. I removed her from my circle of friends, in person and on line. Forgiven she will never be (she hurt my dog!) and neither will her actions be forgotten.
Bro if someone hurts a pet they are just evil
Thank you for sharing culture
BEAUTIFUL WISDOM ❤️
To innerstand how forgiveness works was my hurdle.
I said it until I felt divorced from negativity.
Letting go with forgiveness is bliss.
Circles back to love.
Love is the path.
Thank you 🙏
asking for forgiveness is a humble act, what is cruel is that the person does not accept it or understand it as a debt. ask for forgiveness must be sincere, and forgive the same. only then will there be peace for all
yes forgiveness is the answer.
Yes your right 👉 thanks for your words...one love 😍 💖💯💯💯💫💫💫💥💥💥👍👍👍.
The world is filled full of unforgiving people. They want you to forgive them but they don't want to forgive you. Go figure!
This a bit confusing to process if one is recovering from childhood wounds that involved physical and verbal abuse and abandonment by parents. It is also hard to even think about forgiving someone who has molested you or a loved one. Cultivating compassion and understanding that the person who harmed you was/is struggling is one thing. And even with horrible hardships, one can be grateful for their life, its lessons, and blessings. While I can recognize the people who hurt me and other loved ones suffered as well, I'm still processing the trauma and harm adults placed on a small child. Maybe this video lesson is not about those sorts of harms.
I also went through this as a child and have anxiety and panic attacks and am still processing some things in my 40s. I was able to forgive the person who molested and abused me when I realized we are all Gods people, He loves us ALL even sinners and we are all sinners at different times. Yes some do worse things than others but I realized that judging that was a burden. Only God can justly judge and so I let it go and left it to God. I’m a better more loving person for it even though I struggle with post traumatic stress from my trauma. I am getting better
Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
It’s very much needed in these times.
thank you for your time and lessons. I'm so grateful for you.
That's my biggest issue,man I've really got to work on it 😢🥺😞. Self forgiveness is the worse.
Sir, Mr. Brown, because of you I try to commit these teachings to my soul. Thank you.
I think you can forgive someone without wanting to have a relationship with them. If someone is toxic and abusive and refuses to change, I think it's ok to say "I forgive you and love you but I can't be around you because you hurt me."
Being around criminals and haters....I know these philosophy will never permeate their souls....dry inside like the rock in the fountain when split open.
Friendly tip: Forgiveness does not mean allowing people to continuously abuse you.
You can forgive toxic people and not let them back into your life
I'm curious to know what Grandfather's wisdom is when we think of atrocities such as white supremacy, racism, colonization, genocide, child rape, missing and murdered Indigenous women, residential schools/boarding schools and all the children we lost at those schools. I really struggle with forgiveness on these things. About all the things that happened to my ancestors as a result of these things. Knowing that these still exist. That the KKK is still out there committing atrocities. That so many people turn a blind eye and continue to allow these atrocities to continue. That the police are still killing people of colour. That reparations have not been adequately made to survivors of residential schools. That prisons are filled with people of colour. That treaties with the First Peoples around the planet are still not honoured. That corporate entities have more say in what happens to Mother Earth and that their profits are more important than the people.
Forgive me, I'm willing to do what it takes to win back your favor.
I cannot begin to forgive until the blade stops piercing my back.
Very nice and a way to be at peace and stay balanced. If you let something fester inside for too long or too great. It will consume you in a very damaging way. I love this forethought in the video
What kind and helpful thoughts, thank you so much for sharing these with us.☮️
Easily the best and most valuable channel on UA-cam.
Thank you Mr. Brown and Shane...
What if the person does the same hurtful thing over and over? How can you forgive?
@0Y0 Thank you for your reply. Is it ok to separate yourself from the person or persons who are doing the abusing? Or just pray for separation and protection.
@0Y0 Thank you
Thank you Mr.Brown, you remind me there are still good humans. The world needs more people like yourself.
This is so very important and a key to healthy lives. Thank you for sharing.
There IS a difference between forgiving and forgetting.
Forgetting can be part of forgiveness. It's quite burdensome to remember all the wrongs that have been committed against you and for many they have daily reminders of that. For me I always get angry when I remember the wrongs done against me, 90% it's just anger but the 10% a part from that is just complete disappointment, and heartache. The type of heartache that simply makes you cry in silence in your room in the middle of the night, that's what makes me miserable the most and for many it's no different. Forgetting is not just about the other person or person's. The most important component of forgiveness is the most obvious thing "You". You can either hold yourself back or free yourself in order to have a free and peaceful mind and a joyous spirit again
Yes indeed, thank you!!
Offense came be taken, never given. Being offended is a response, not an act.
Wado
For your excellent efforts.
Forgiveness is the best thing ever.
When I was able to forgive my parents, it was like a weight was lifted off my heart.
Am so grateful to my grandparents for imploring me to forgive.
All struggle is educational.

Thank you very much.
Usually when someone wrongs you,they are setting you up,hoping you will seek revenge,they may have a dirty cop behind the scenes just waiting on you to mess up.No matter how mad or hurt you are,don't fall for the trap remember(MAN WILL DOMINATE MAN TO HIS OWN INJURY)Don't give them that power.Let them destroy themselves.
Thank you sir.
I thank you so much for your wisdom and willingness to teach. I am grateful please 🙏❤️ Thank you
You don't need to even see that person to forgive them. I have been through a lot. I have been mentally, physically, chemically, and sexually abused since 3 to an adult. I have been raped as an adult and have a beautiful child. It's hard to forgive those that really hurt you. But I found it is even harder to forgive yourself even when you thought it was your fault and it was not. I'm not saying that it's not going to still give me nightmares etc. But for the most part I feel freer and that I by forgiving I'm not holding on to it. (Not making me more stressed)
well said
@@psalm91.777 Thank you
True forgiveness requires another to admit they were wrong and ammends made for harms done.
Without true remourse and changing ones ways it's just a loophole word others have used to exploit and to continue abusive behaviors. I must say that forgiveness to ones self for being taken advantage of is a harder pill to swallow after multiple ultimate betrayals by those we should have just walked away from decades ago.
Q: How can one forgive what is hidden..or, unrecognized?
A: Be forgotten?!
(Some will be damned to be forgiven.)
This is unacceptable?!
🤷♂️
But what if you keep forgiving and they keep repeating the offense anyway? What if they just never learn when they are doing something wrong?
Forgiveness does not equal allowing others to continue to harm you. That’s a type of abuse and ideally you should remove yourself from the situation and forgive the person from afar.
@@sunshineeddy6849 except they aren't hurting anyone directly. They are hurting themselves, which hurts their loved ones.
❤ I understand that, practicing is hard but always reminds me to do that , In process!☮️
Thank you.
