But then, insofar as you are able to achieve peace and harmony within by doing the Radical Forgiveness worksheet, the tables will automatically be turned.  Rather than returning the attack with an attack as a way to get even, you will get your revenge by sending back love and gratitude.  Since Love is the most powerful force in the Universe nothing can resist it.  Can their be a sweeter revenge than by using the event as an opportunity to turn hatred into Love?  I don’t think so.  But don’t take my word for it.  Go online and do the free online Radical Forgiveness worksheet and see if it works for you.  Then you might have one resolution you can cross off the list for next year.

Yes, that can seem disappointing, for who does not want to see their kids flourish in the years ahead?  But our fixation on getting ahead, doing better, moving up and making more money as being the basis of the dream may have reached its limit, like when the pendulum stops before starting to swing the other way.

So, instead of just wishing for a better life for our kids in those same terms, how about wishing for a better quality of life in terms of it having it carry real meaning and spiritual purpose.  How about holding a vision for a life in America for them where everyone feels happy, safe and secure, where people take care of each other, support each other and love one another; where people live in harmony and peace instead of fear and aggression which is what we have now, and what they will have in the future if we don’t begin to change our consciousness now.

This is the vision I’m holding for 2012 and beyond.  As you may know my mission statement for many years has been, “to raise the consciousness of the planet through Radical Forgiveness and to create a world of forgiveness by 2012.”  I still believe the pendulum has a few degrees more to move through its arc before its begins to shift the other way.  When it does, we will wake up to a new reality and a much better dream than the false one that has brought us nicely to this point.  Whether it happens in 2012 or not doesn’t matter.  I am still holding the vision and I know a great many of you are too.  We feel it in our bones and we will be there when the pendulum comes to the end of its swing and starts going the other way. Then heaven on earth will be the dream we can all live.

That’s I mean when I say to you now, “Happy New Year.”  That’s what I shall be raising my glass to on New’s Years Eve — the birth of a new consciousness of Love, Peace and Harmony.

Upon my return to America, the 2nd Edition of my book, Radical Forgiveness, Making Room for the Miracle was about to go to press, so I decided to add an Epilogue that focused on 9/11 and demonstrated the use of the 4-Step process on that event.  After approximately five years it was dropped in favor of other content but we kept it on the website as a free download where it remains to this day.

On this, the 10th anniversary of 9/11, since there is much in the media that invites us to relive that terrible day in our minds and hearts, I think you would find it an interesting experience to read that Epilogue, not only to see how I articulated my thoughts and feelings at each of the four steps of the Emerge-n-See Process, but to notice what affect it might have on you emotionally at this time.  Click here to go to the Epilogue.

I have written quite a lot lately, in my newsletter and elsewhere, about the power of the 4-Step process to shift energy and have shared that many people have found it a very useful tool in their everyday lives as a way to cope with the kind of day-to-day problems of life.  You might try it for yourself.  For more on the 4-process, click here.

Just so you know, I am constructing this site alongside my other site (www.radicalforgiveness.com), because I have decided that my work has evolved to the point where it makes sense to change my ‘brand’ from Radical Forgiveness to The Tipping Method, even though, of course, it will still contain Radical Forgiveness as its primary content.
