“If you vent anger with the object of spreading your toxic feelings, the result will have nothing to do with healing. Your anger is your weapon. On the other hand, if you release anger the way you'd expel a rock from your shoe, your intention clearly has healing behind it. Once the anger starts flowing, both of these alternatives might feel the same. Anger is anger. But if you have a healing intention, two things will happen: you will feel more peaceful after your anger has been released, and you will feel like an old, fixed belief in enemies and injustice has started to move.” IfsWayFeelsHas BeensTwoFeelingsHandsMightHappensMovingBeliefResultsHealingBehindsEnemyRocksObjectsWeaponsAngerIntentionInjusticeShoesPeacefulReleaseAlternativesFixedTwo ThingsToxic Author:Deepak Chopra
“It is by the Lord's stripes that we are healed, and it is through our own stripes that we, too, are given the authority for healing. In the place where the enemy wounds us, once we are healed, we are given the power to heal others.” GivenHealingLordEnemyAuthorityWoundsHealHealedStripes Author:Rick Joyner
“Forgiving and being reconciled to our enemies or our loved ones are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not about patting one another on the back and turning a blind eye to the wrong. True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, the truth. It could even sometimes make things worse. It is a risky undertaking but in the end it is worthwhile, because in the end only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing. Superficial reconciliation can bring only superficial healing.” RealEndsSometimesRealityEyeHurtHealingEnemyHonestAbuseBlindForgivingPretendingLoved OnesWorthwhileSuperficialReconciliationConfrontationUndertakingsAccepting RealityBlind EyesAwfulness Author:Desmond Tutu
“Even as the angry vengeful thoughts boiled through me, I saw the sin of them. Jesus Christ had died for this man; was I going to ask for more? Lord Jesus, I prayed, forgive me and help me to forgive him....Jesus, I cannot forgive him. Give me your forgiveness....And so I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but on His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives along with the command, the love itself.” MenWorldGivingHelpingAsksJesusChristSinHealingLordEnemySawsGoodnessJesus ChristGive MeDiedAngryForgivingCommandHelp MeForgive MeHingesHiding PlaceVengeful Author:Corrie Ten Boom

“I still believe in man in spite of man. I believe in language even though it has been wounded, deformed, and perverted by the enemies of mankind. And I continue to cling to words because it is up to us to transform them into instruments of comprehension rather than contempt. It is up to us to choose whether we wish to use them to curse or to heal, to wound or to console.” MenInspirationalBelieveHas BeensStillsUseChoicesLanguageI BelieveWishHealingCompassionEnemyMankindEmpathyTransformationInstrumentsI Believe InTongueWoundsHealCurseSpiteProfessorsContemptSympathyContinuingWoundedComprehensionClingingConsoleI Still BelieveFreedom To Choose Book:Open Heart Source: Open Heart
“The Department of Peace would take a more human approach to healing our society, looking not merely for ways we can destroy an enemy, but for more powerful ways to create new friends. While the State Department engages in international diplomacy, there is no domestic parallel. There is no department seeking to harness the power of a nonviolent heart.” WayHumansHeartStatesPowerfulHealingEnemySocietyApproachInternationalSeekingDepartmentOur SocietyNonviolenceDiplomacyParallelsHarnessNew Friends Author:Marianne Williamson
