Clogged Filters Stress the Furnace
To ground this concept in a practical analogy, think of
our bodies as being like the filters typically found in
home heating furnaces — the kind we have to clean
from time to time to ensure the furnace works efficiently.
Just as these filters were designed to allow air to move
easily through them, the same is true of our bodies.
Life-force must be free to flow easily through all our bod-
ies — our physical body and our subtle bodies, too.
Whenever we judge, make someone wrong, blame,
project, repress anger, hold resentment, etc., we cre-
ate an energy block in our body/bodies. Each time we
do this, our filter becomes a little more blocked and
less energy remains available for our 
furnace
. Sooner
or later the filter fails, and starved of the vital oxygen it
must have to keep burning, the 
flame 
dies.
More simply, when our physical and subtle bodies be-
come too clogged for life-force to flow through easily,
our body starts shutting down. In many cases, this mani-
fests first as depression. Eventually, our body gets sick,
and, if the blocks are not removed, we may die.
You may recall how my sister Jill felt a release of en-
ergy when she moved into Radical Forgiveness. Her
life-force filter was blocked by her toxic belief system
about her own lack of worthiness, not to mention past
resentments, anger, sadness, and frustrations over her
current situation. When she let all that go, her energy
blocks were cleared, which allowed her to shift her
emotional state as well. Whenever you 
forgive radi-
cally
, you release enormous amounts of life-force en-
ergy that then can be made available for healing, cre-
ativity, and expressing your true purpose in life.
