From #1 Bestselling author of Climate Basics (Weather category, 14 weeks, Science & Math Short Reads, 8 weeks)A Deeper Understanding of Forgiveness Have you ever forgiven someone so thoroughly that the hurt completely evaporated? Have you been able to view them, and their assault on your life, as you might view a spec of dust sitting on the desk in front of you? Think about that dust. Does its presence on your desktop ravage your world and destroy your life? Of course not! You may not even have noticed it, if it had not been for the text you're currently reading. That is the level of forgiveness about which this book talks. Forgiveness can be that effortless. It Started with Three Miracles on Wilshire Boulevard Rod Martin discovered this level of True Forgiveness quite by accident. The clean break with resentment was so thorough, it counts as a miracle. And it was accompanied by two other miracles. It started with rush hour traffic on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, one late afternoon in 1977. Though two of the miracles were deeply personal and entirely invisible to the world outside, one miracle shook the fabric of space and time, parting traffic like Moses parting the Red Sea. Within seconds, two miles of empty center lane stood before him, with two walls of snarling traffic standing on either side. It took Rod Martin more than three decades to study and to understand what had happened. When he began to write about that life-changing day, he suddenly realized how thoroughly he had forgiven those who had assaulted him. For more than 30 years, he had forgotten that they had become the first ones to move out of his way when the sea of cars opened up on the faith, humility, love and responsibility Martin had felt that day. He had asked, and it had been given to him in an instant. This book details the discoveries Rod Martin made in studying those miraculous few minutes. When done with this book, you will know, What True Forgiveness looks like, How miracles are effortless, How love is an essential ingredient of forgiveness, How confidence and humility are vital partners, and How responsibility remains an indispensable part of True Forgiveness. The purpose of this book includes three goals: To inspire To clarify, and To guide. First of all, the Age of Miracles never ended. Martin discovered what it takes to reach that spiritual state where the door to creation is opened. Second, most people have misconceptions about forgiveness and these make it difficult or impossible to heal. Martin makes it clear what forgiveness is and what it is not. Third, Martin gives exercises which help prepare your mind and attitudes for forgiveness. The inspiration, clarity and guidance in this book remain both powerful and unique. This book could very well change your life. The Art of Forgiveness is more than a book of feel-good sayings. It drills down into the heart of what forgiveness is all about, and plucks out the lotus of understanding that Buddha and Christ tried to teach us.
