InnerPeace Forgiveness Links

The links are from four major categories of web sites:

1. Traditional spiritual orientations, meaning those that existed prior to the twentieth century;

2. Modern spiritual orientations, meaning those that came into existence after the nineteenth century; and

3. Psychologically oriented.

4. Miscellaneous links that do not fit squarely into one of the three more defined categories, mostly because they significantly touch more than one of them.

The sorting system we use is simple. Within each category, the smaller banners are above the larger ones.

These links were chosen, not because of any preference for their orientation, but because of the similarity of their support for forgiveness, no matter what their orientation. The fact that some orientations may have more links than others is simply because of the number of articles we found published on the Internet.

We would love to link to more articles on forgiveness from more non-western and ancient religions. If you know of any such articles we can link to, please let us know.

 

Unconditional Forgiveness

The main things these links have in common is that they are about unconditional forgiveness. This approach does not require the wrongdoer to admit wrong, feel sorry, make things right, see the light, or anything else in order for the victim to forgive. Any such requirements only interfere with true forgiveness.

 

Jesus Forgiving His Crucifiers

One of the most common examples of unconditional forgiveness is the story of Jesus forgiving his crucifiers by saying, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." Luke 23:34. We have been asked about the validity of this story.

It is a wonderful example of how to practice forgiveness. Whether or not the story is true does not matter. You can still improve your life by following its message.

Let's take another example. We all know, with certainty, that the Fables of Aesop are not true. That does not make the lessons they teach any less valid.

All that said, we can also report that the leaders and advisors of InnerPeace.Org personally believe that the story of Jesus forgiving his crucifiers is true.

Links are not endorsements. Be aware that about half of all web sites are below average.

Since Inner Peace is not primarily a site of links, some rather popular sites have been omitted in favor of some helpful resources that may be less well known.

If you have any problems with these links, please let us know. Your comments, suggestions for additions to these links, and notification of bad links help keep this page vital.

Your feedback helps us continue to improve Inner Peace and is greatly appreciated.

Brand new self help process.

Software Designed with Your Privacy in Mind

Inner Peace software is BrowserBased. Nothing you enter is sent over the internet or recorded anywhere. Inner Peace writes no cookies on your computer. Nothing is written to or read from your computer files.

Once the program is loaded into your browser window, you can disconnect your computer from the Internet and all its features will still run. Once you close the program, everything you entered into the program is erased. Because this is an open source program, you can see the source code and verify all this for yourself.

About This Archived Collection

Inner Peace is no longer maintained by its author, and no support is available for using the software. This collection is preserved as it stood, and is hosted by ibiblio.org. To report a problem with these pages, such as a broken link or a missing file, use the ibiblio help request page.

Many of the sites this collection links to have closed or changed hands in the years since these pages were written. Rather than send you to whoever holds those addresses now, ibiblio has altered some of the links:

• A link marked [archived copy] opens a dated snapshot at the Internet Archive instead of the original address.
• Text marked [link no longer available] was a link to a site that has gone, and for which no snapshot could be found. The words remain; the link does not.

The original addresses have not been erased. Every altered link still records the address it pointed at, in the page source, so what this collection cited remains part of the record. None of the author's own writing has been changed.

Donations are no longer accepted. The donation buttons that once appeared on these pages, and in the programs offered here for download, sent money to the collection's author, who has since ended their involvement with the collection. Continuing to collect money on their behalf would not be right, so ibiblio has removed those buttons. Pages describing the old donation policy are left as the author wrote them, and describe how things once worked rather than how they work now.

Hosted by ibiblio.org

InnerPeace.Org is a member organization of ibiblio.org, the public's library, based at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which provides our Internet hosting, archiving, and other support.
