Afterword
T
welve years after having published this book, I
have finally caught up with my own thinking
about Radical Forgiveness being something much
larger than a mere process of forgiveness — bigger, in
fact, than I ever imagined.
I have known from the beginning that Radical Forgive-
ness has never been about forgiveness per se — at least,
not forgiveness as we have traditionally conceived of it. It
is indeed an alternative way of forgiving that is quicker or
more effective than any other form of forgiveness, but it’s
something infinitely greater, more all-encompassing and
more revolutionary.
It is nothing less than a mind-blowing idea that shatters
our existing ideas of reality and challenges our current
world view. It invites us to engage in a process that is
rooted in 4th dimensional reality which we don’t yet un-

derstand. Neither is there much proof of its efficacy other
than the evidence of our own awareness of how signifi-
cantly changed we become when we engage in it.
(If
you’ve done a worksheet, you’ll know what I mean).
It requires that we suspend our normal way of thinking
about ourselves and our relationship to the world at large,
and to be open to the possibility that we can begin oper-
ating from this new reality 
(before we really know what it is
or how it works),
by just being willing to do it.
But the truly amazing gift that it offers humanity lies in its
capacity to serve as a bridge — a bridge that enables us
to move freely and easily, without knowing it
,
between third
dimensional reality and fourth dimensional reality. A bridge
that enables us to practice operating from the love vibra-
tion of the latter while existing physically in the former.
Such a bridge is necessary because even though deep
down, we know that fourth dimensional reality is based
on love, peace, oneness and joy — and we yearn des-
perately to go there — we are terrified at the thought of
letting go of that which is all so familiar. This is true de-
spite that fact that the current reality is one based on fear,
separation and pain. The doubt is real and deep seated
— what if I jump into the void and find that the other reality
doesn’t exist after all!

So, while the technology of Radical Forgiveness ostensi-
bly appears to be about helping us forgive ourselves and
others, its
