As the human condition - with all its opportunities and innate limitations - is understood, forgiveness naturally arises. With understanding, we see that we have a massive blind spot as human beings; we are not able to discern between how things seem to us (perception) and how they truly are (essence or truth). Perception is often in error and quite far separated from the truth of things and as such, we make choices that seem like a good idea at the time and later, after seeing the consequences of our choices, often learn that we were mistaken in our ideas, beliefs, and perceptions. In this episode, we will come to understand this in greater depth so as to increase the likelihood that forgiveness will spontaneously arise.
