To forgive and forego (the ego)
To forgive the one who has destroyed is no easy feat. For to forgive a destroyer one must become the destroyer himself. He must be able to destroy his own weak and distraught nature, namely the shell of his broken self must give way to a new and improved self. The only way to do this successfully is to become a destroyer of illusion and destitution within himself. The cause of pain is irrelevant when a solution is imminent. When one forgives himself, he is essentially foregoing his punctured and fractured ego and merging it with the whole again. This is the essence of transmutation of hate into love and understanding the non duality of the whole.
The ego must be shattered and reassembled if proper transmutation is to occur. This is why the destroyer, Shiva or Set, is one of the most important aspects of transmutation on any given path. Although ego defines and forms a person, holding onto egos can be an anchor to change and transmutation, especially if one is holding onto painful feelings. How does one successfully remove the blind spot within his ego that clings to victim hood and loss when one has been wronged? One becomes the destroyer himself! The destroyer of illusion and all forms of depravity!
To truly forgive oneself or another, one must forego his false ego. It’s not easy to step down from one’s high horse or be dethroned by another in any form. The only way to recover one’s fall from grace is to remove the idea of grace altogether and replace it with underworld and chaos, ie the agent of change. Within the chaos of destruction, one gives up his ideas of right and wrong as he gives up his old thought patterns and false sense of self pride. Indeed he may have been wronged, yet holding onto the anger and disappointment only holds him back more. Hatred for the other only fuels a hated within himself. It is self defeating and a form of spinning on the hamster wheel. The only way to break the cycle of samsara is by reaching nirvana. Nirvana is the switch from light of illusion to nothingness of being. A spark ⚡️ that gives way to a forest fire where Self may rise anew on a blank slate of being.
The archetype of destroyer holds power whereas any form of victimhood is self defeating. While pain is a normal part of life, pain should never define a person lest that person fall into a trap of self depravity caused by victimhood. To be the destroyer one mustn’t become malevolent or avenging, for he is not destroying another directly but only indirectly destroying parts of himself. He discards and burns away all that held him in his trap of victimhood, namely his own perceptions and thought patterns of shame and loss burn to a crisp in the forest fire of soul and psyche.
