Step Three:
"I am willing to see the
perfection in the situation.”

The 
willingness 
step is the essential step in the Radi-
cal Forgiveness process. It equates to a prayerful sur-
rendering in the moment to the Divine plan and the will-
ingness to love ourselves for not being able to see this
plan directly.
Step Four: 
 "I choose the power of peace."
This fourth step represents a consequence of all the
previous steps. By accepting that Divine purpose is
served in this situation and that what appears to be
occurring may be illusionary, we choose to feel peace
and to use the power of peace in whatever actions are
required of us. The power of peace is found when we
are totally present in the moment, acting with clarity and
focus to do whatever may be required, and being to-
tally aware of our feelings.
Practice this four-step process as often as possible.
Make it a part of your awareness. It gives you a way to
be in the moment throughout your day.
To help you make this prcess your practice, it is a good
idea to put these four steps on a business size card for
your purse or wallet, or on a 3”x 5” card to keep on your
refrigerator.

23: Seeing the Christ in Another
I
f you recognize that a situation occurring between
you and someone else represents an opportu
nity to heal something in yourself, you can create the
healing experience by being totally in that present mo-
ment. A way to bring your energy into present time, as
opposed to allowing your mind to be in the past or in
the future, requires simply looking at the person with
whom you are having an issue and 
seeing the Christ
in them.
In this sense, the term 
Christ
means the part of them
that is Divine and one with you and with God. As you
do this, you join with them, and in that moment, you ac-
knowledge the Christ within yourself. If you have the
presence of mind to do this, you will transform the situ-
ation immediately.
When we truly join with another person and become
one with them, we transcend the Ego. The Ego’s whole
existence is based on separation. Without separation,
we have no need to attack and defend — so in that
moment of joining we raise our vibration, drop all our
mechanisms of defense, and become our true selves.
At the same time we let go of our projections and see
the other person as a child of God, perfect in every
sense. This is the essence of Radical Forgiveness.
