First, let us forgive others for ways that may have harmed us.
If anyone, through their confusion, has harmed me in any way—either knowingly or unknowingly—I forgive them.
And now, let us ask for forgiveness for ways in which we may have harmed others.
If, through my own confusion, I have harmed anyone in any way—either knowingly or unknowingly—I ask for forgiveness.
And now, let us offer forgiveness to ourselves.
For all the ways that my own confusion has led me to harm myself, or be unkind to myself, I forgive myself.
Finally, if there is someone, including myself, who I'm not yet ready to forgive, I forgive myself for that.
- From Peter Russell
