These seem to be the higher philosophies of awareness that have been reached by the 'enlightened'. I'm very glad to see this sort of insight floating around. Thank you

The book is about cultures, sub cultures around the world and related to the Buddhist philosophy of forgiveness and obtaining a sense of higher self through this emotion. It is not Christianity, and the 'jebus' comment was too funny! The other electronic sub cultures I am researching are mostly different Buddhist communities, my friend advised me to come hear and seek out valuable insight.

Not a problem. It appears as though this group is a half and half group. I don't wish to steal any philosophies from anyone, just a simple discussion and ideas to hear the voices of those dubbed to be concerned about the true value of humanity. If this appears as a threat, then I thank you all for the comments you have made thus far and will move on my way. thank you all Caroline Loco

I am researching the higher sentient emotions of Forgiveness and how it is related to our sense of self worth. A good friend of mine, a 'deadhead', referred me to this site as well as a few others to what he called "gain insight into the fabric of humanity through those who truly care". I can discuss more of the book later on.

phorbesie. I would like to have a personal conversation with you, but I cannot figure out how to do this as I am new. I believe if you send me something I can reply?

Interesting comment KatLady. I am curious though, when we 'give up' and still hold onto resentment, aren't we giving the other power over us by not seeking the 'higher' emotion called forgiveness? I do find most individuals feel the same way you do though.

I love the sense of humor that accompanies this site, great feelings! Some would suggest that to hold onto emotions and not forgive another causes a deeper seeded issue of personal resentment. Whatever we hold onto, we become.

Possibly looking for deeper meaning and substance connected to a more profound existence is 'crazy talk', but I have viewed this site for some time and have noticed a huge amount of empathy, concern, amongst other conscious emotions and thought this would be a place for deeper discussion. Possibly my judgment was wrong, but I do feel this board is a good place of insight. I am curious as to your insights of the emotion we call forgiveness.

To keep old wounds open is pure drama, to try and heal them is worthy of applause. If you cannot forgive someone and keep the wound open through conversation, thought, emotion, lack of connection, you are creating drama. Why do some wish to keep old wounds open and fresh, does it give them a false sense of power? Are they lacking something deep in their own lives? What are your thoughts of this Jambands.ca? Your ideas will go towards a very useful and insightful book.
