You Don’t Need To Be Forgiven
All you need to do is act, think, and speak as best you know how. To learn and to grow at your own pace, trusting that the Supreme Intelligence behind it all knows what is best for you and will guide you along the way.

I was watching a scene from an old movie where a priest came to have a conversation with someone in distress. The priest slowly pulled a wooden chair forward, sat down and said:
“Offer me your confession. And I can offer you God’s forgiveness.”
Instantly, memories flooded back of all the times I was forced to confess as a child. I say “forced” because I never wanted to do it. Yet, I had no choice; that's what my parents made me do. As a child, I was simply afraid of revealing my secrets or being vulnerable with a stranger who was an adult.
It felt intuitively weird to me back then. And then, this movie scene. A priest, which is a human being, saying that he has the power to offer God’s forgiveness. Nonsense.
