Beyond Forgivenes
I have not read Phil's new book but I have known Phil for many years--I am even "in" one of his wonderful Books; "Soul Moments, Stories of Meaningful Synchronicity in a Seemingly Random World."
But the "blurbs" for this book have convinced me I should share them--and buy the book!
I think I am onto something!
I have been reading like mad, wrestling with emotions and healing from a series of VERY PAINFUL experiences. I have had to work REALLY hard to deal in forgiveness while also dealing in truth. I have read "It's Not Your Fault: How Healing Relationships Change Your Brain & Can Help You Overcome a Painful Past" by Patricia Romano, Ph.d. Mcgraw (May 2004) and "Mommy Dearest" and "Mistakes Were Made..." and "Sway" and now "Spontaneous Evolution"-- and listened to numerous of the calls now abounding on healing. I am a fan of Phil Cousineau and his recent work "Beyond Forgiveness http://www.facebook.com/index.php?lh=df116eaa280320d8d9759370bb65af49!/BeyondForgiveness
I love D. Patrick Miler's "Little Book of Forgiveness."
BUT--I am confused because I am angry at some folks I love and/or have forgiven. I uncover more hurt... and the battle between anger and forgiveness begins anew.
It's a major conundrum!

Once you read the two stories at the heart of Sylvia Clute’s new book, you will never doubt the practical importance of the philosophy of law that occupies her mind.
Sylvia Clute, former trial attorney, presents a coherent brief in plain English that will win you over to a new foundation for law and governance. She calls the foundation “oneness.”

From Elizabeth Bader:
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am writing to invite you to the next teleconference program of the Psychology of Conflict Resolution Committee. This is a committee I founded and chair within the ABA which deals with the psychology and spirituality of conflict resolution. It is a subcommittee of the ADR Committee of TIPS.
On April 1, 2010, at 9:00 am Pacific we will have our next meeting by phone. Two wonderful speakers will discuss forgiveness, and then we will have a group discussion on the subject. You do not have to be a member of the ABA to attend and there is no charge.
If you do wish to attend, please send me a bio of about 150 words, so we can circulate it to the group. Call-in information is below, after the bios of our distinguished speakers.
Best to all,
Elizabeth

The Power of Forgiveness in Divorce
The Power of Forgiveness in Divorce: How Lawyers Can Become Healers!
The power of forgiveness is of immense importance to working with the feelings and difficulties we share in relationship transitions, but it is frequently ignored. In many cases true wrongs were committed and real injuries were inflicted. Forgiveness doesn't deny that, it just offers a perspective and freedom from the cycle of rage and reactivity.
This article discusses one angle of approach that may be useful for guiding lawyers - and their clients who are in the midst of great relationship hurt - to, as a team, overcome reactivity. It is really written to the client, but the implied sensitivities are for the lawyer.

Forgiveness: A Case of Mistaken Identity
by Eileen L. Epperson, Guest Author
Have you ever heard any of the following:
“I can forgive her for my part, but how can I forgive her for what she did to my loved ones?”
“Forgive him? After what he did? You have to be kidding!”
“I cannot forgive them. It just hurts too much to think about it.”
“Sure, I forgave her but she keeps doing it. I mean, you run out of good will after a while.”
“I would like to forgive and forget, except every time I think about him, I want to punch his lights out!”
