Radical Forgiveness Transforms
As humans, we are still not totally impotent in this re-
gard, because we can transform the energy of some-
thing like child abuse by using Radical Forgiveness. If
we truly forgive, in the radical sense, all those involved
in the abusive situation, we definitely have an impact
on the energy pattern.
Ultimately, the child will have to forgive to finally change
the pattern, but each time any of us, in any situation,
whether we are personally involved or not, choose to
see the perfection in the situation, we change the en-
ergy at once.
I was once asked to address the National Society of
Mediators at their annual conference. I was only to have
about 45 minutes and they were to be eating lunch while
listening to me! I went early to listen in on their discus-
sions in order to try to get a feel for their way of think-
ing. I determined that, in terms of background, about
50% of the attendees were lawyers and 50% were coun-
selors and that their commitment to mediation left them
fairly open minded and flexible in their approaches to
problem solving.
For the first twenty minutes or so, I did my best to ex-
plain the concepts and assumptions underlying Radi-
cal Forgiveness. Then I drew the following diagram to
represent the energetic relationship between them and
their clients.

Mediation Energy Fields.
I then put it to them that their perception of the situation
they were mediating was likely to be that what was hap-
pening to Clients A and B was unfortunate at best and
a tragedy at worst. Also, that their role as mediator
was to try to make the best of a bad job and resolve the
situation in a way that would be the least damaging to
both parties and their dependents.
They agreed that this was a fair characterization of their
task and that the energy field around the situation for
the clients was one of hostility and mistrust. Had it been
otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed a mediator. They
concurred on this too.
Then I factored into the situation their own energy. They
saw that their energy field would normally contain
thoughts and feelings related to the perception that this
was a “bad” situation. I also suggested that, even though
they were trying to mediate and help both clients, their
perception of the situation as “bad” fed into the clients’
