Spirituality 103 the Forgiveness Code by Ivan Figueroa-Otero

Often as humans we are faced with occurrences that just refuse to be forgotten. Occurrences that stay ingrained in us for longer than necessary. The result is anger, hate and bitterness. These conditions can effectively get in the way of happiness and personal growth. If only you forgive and forge forward then all will be well.
Then comes the next hurdle, actual forgiving. This is a difficult part because most people do not realize that it is more about them than the person who wronged them. When you you do it for your own peace of mind. As such, it is important to look deep inside oneself and reflect. Ensue that when the moment finally comes for you to let go of the garbage, you are ready body and soul. Forgiving transgressions is a very important part of physical and mental health.
This book will teach you to effectively get on a path towards healing of your emotional scars. It will force you to ask pertinent questions like what exactly is meant by- a broken person. Understanding this is especially important to determine if you yourself are broken. You will also find out how to fix it if it turns out that indeed you are.
Ivan Figueroa-Otero has done a great job of breaking through the barrier of religion. Forgiveness is usually a religion based element. The author has made it into a spirituality thing which is excellent as it makes this book appealing to people of all religions. That is a special quality and far more apt with a view to the inherent nature of forgiveness.
This book is not preachy as it would be expected with a subject such as this. No. It relays the message quite nicely with simple language and cute little sentences. The author is not looking to bore you with a holier than thou attitude but rather talks to the reader as he would a close friend who seeks counsel.
With the talk of warriors of light and darkness, one is reminded of the works of Paulo Coelho. It is obvious that the fellow author should have been paid homage to somehow but is not mentioned. This seems to be a recurrence as the author fails to give clear details of references in many instances. It is quite annoying and deterrent to anyone who might want to explore the subject further through the author’s sources.
It is well structured and flows just fine allowing the reader to flow through the author’s thought process. This is advantageous to the reader as they understand the subject better. It is a peek into the mind of the author.
Spirituality 103 The Forgiveness Code is written by a medical doctor who quite intelligently ties forgiveness and its positive effect on mental health to physical healing. This is a more interesting ideal than the above concern. That is to say the little matter above does not get in the way of the message. It is still an excellent read with a heavy message relayed eloquently without being condescending.
