Have you ever noticed that Forgiveness is something that gets talked about in Hallmark card terminology? It’s almost always something we should have or should practice, comes with graphics of flowers or butterflies, and promises to be the answer to issues where harm has been done.

I’m continuing to work on my class for Daily Om on the Akashics. Here’s an excerpt from Lesson 5: The Akashic Library is an amazing place like nothing that has ever existed on the physical plane.
