There are liberating truths in the Lord’s Prayer which can free us from spiritual forgetfulness, the cause of suffering
We are unique manifestations of Spirit through whom God would like to express

Trespass means a word or action which interferes with the life and expression of others
Forgive and release resentment; be open to smriti, divine memory of your true self
Forgiveness restores awareness of unity with God

A Way Out of Suffering

Cessation of trespassing and active forgiveness are the ways out of cycles of suffering and disappointment. Yogis want to forgive to the point they are no longer feeling resentment and anger. Then they’re open to divine memory, called smriti. Your offenders will learn and be changed by their karma. You can go on to a happy life. Release the resentment. There is no forgiveness until you’ve done this. As forgiveness and release occur, you will be restored to a sense of well being and wholeness.
