Forgiving the Unforgivable: The True Story of How Survivors of the Mumbai Terrorist Attack Answered Hatred with Compassion [NOOK Book]

An oppertunity to change your life

This book was especially meaningful to me as I am Master Charles assistant, and thus experienced the attacks first hand and right there in the room with him.

I recently shared with Master Charles my experience of reading his book. I told him that of all the challenging experiences I could have while reading this book, and very potently recounting my experience as a captive to terrorists and losing Naomi, who was like a sister to me: anger, fear, stress, and so on, I felt none of these things. In fact what I felt was overwhelming love and gratitude. Why? Because everything that is conveyed in this book is real for me. The teachings, the practice, and the experience that followed during the terrorist attack and all the way to this moment are just as Master Charles describes them.

To know how drastically my life has changed for the better since meeting Master Charles, and to see that his book truly makes that experience available to anyone who chooses to read it, brings great joy to my heart. This is not just a good read. It is an experience and a practice. It is an opportunity to change your life.

Life Changing

On one level, Forgiving the Unforgivable is about the value of choosing forgiveness. On a much deeper level it explains why commitment to a holistic lifestyle allows one to choose forgiveness, even in extreme situations like a terrorist attack. This book offers life-changing advice that is both practical and accessible to anyone seeking a more holistic lifestyle and a more truthful perception of reality.

Destined to become a classic

I have read this book multiple times, and each time I get more out of it. The story is inspiring, but even more important are the elucidations by the author about how they were able to remain calm during a very stressful situation. Most of us don't have such intense experiences to test our state of being, yet we tend to react sometimes as though we were "under attack". The corporate world often seems like a life-threatening situation, and the truths and practices in this book can help navigate that world with more calm and inner peace. Surely, that is the nature of this game we are all playing together -- finding inner peace through balance and wholeness. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested and committed to transforming their life into something other than a reactionary movie that plays before us, day after day, and which appears to us as real. If we do, indeed, create our own reality, we must first find the greater reality in which we all participate. Reading this book gave me that experience and I am grateful.

A Real Treasure!

This wonderful book by Master Charles Cannon is a crash course in genuine spirituality and how it can sustain us - even in the most unthinkable circumstances. The first-hand accounts of the Synchronicity survivors in Mumbai present irrefutable proof of the power of love and the presence of Spirit in our lives. Many thanks and blessings to the great souls who contributed to this book.

Great book with focus on how to remain balanced in an imbalanced world

Living a centered existence with stability, peace and compassion is something many of us strive to achieve, yet it can be very difficult to achieve. In this amazing book a story is shared about some individuals that are embodiments of balance which was demonstrated through their experience of a terrorist attack and their response to the horrible consequences of that attack. The book also serves as a guide to how we can establish that balance in our lives. I highly recommend this book.

A much needed book for our times!

Forgiving the Unforgivable is a brilliant combination of the teachings of a spiritual master and the deeply touching demonstration of how these practices can transform the way we respond to traumatic events in our lives. Many people who have suffered such trauma need years to come to a place of acceptance and peace, if they ever will. This book shows us that we can learn to live with balance, compassion and love even when we encounter traumatic situations. It is grounded in compassion, love and a YES to all life. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

This book could be a catalyst that will change the world

Forgiving the Unforgivable is not just another book about forgiveness. It fully answers the questions that many people around the world asked when stunned by Master Charles response that he forgave the terrorist that shot and killed two of his closest disciples. The question was “how did you get this way and how can we experience the same?” Forgiving the Unforgivable, in my opinion will definitely be a catalyst that will change the world forever. Thank you Master Charles for this wonderful gift!

A BOOK THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

Forgiving the Unforgivable by Master Charles Cannon is an eye opening book. People can be positive, Life and Love based. What a difference this could make in our world! The experiences of the people told in this book, who lived a love based existence before during and after the Mumbi terrorist attack show it is possible.

There is also much more than that in this book. The Author goes on to show how Love and the Sacredness of Life can become a dominate experience in our daily lives.

This is such a powerful book I’m getting books for everyone I know.

Why

The book takes the concept of forgiveness from a spiritual persp

The book takes the concept of forgiveness from a spiritual perspective and translates it into that which can be lived in a practical and meaningful way.

Through many examples it presents new ways that a holistic perspective and approach can be applied to difficult circumstances. It is inspiring and uplifting in its explanation that there is only one, and that we are all empowered by the same life force.

From this holistic perspective it is easy to see how the survivors experienced forgiveness and compassion for the terrorists. Those that would act in such aggressive and intolerant ways are lost in the illusion of separation, but even they... are... the same divinity.

This book is remarkable and I highly recommend it. A little more love, compassion and holistic understanding would make the world a more harmonious place for us all.

This Book Is a Tool For Transformation Forgiving the Unforgivab

This Book Is a Tool For Transformation

Forgiving the Unforgivable is an amazing account by those who discovered first-hand who they are capable of being in the face of an extreme life situation. Put to the test, they all revealed to themselves that their life's choices to date had built a foundation that could withstand the most challenging of circumstances. It's all well and good to have a wish for world peace or a concept of being balanced and harmonious, but rarely do we see people who demonstrate it in their actual life as a result of their devoted practice.

Not only does this book provide inspiration for this level of substantiated power and balance within the individual, but it gives a lifestyle model that can affect a new way of being for the world in which we live. And to top it off, if this book inspires you, the author is a founder of a meditation retreat center where you can get one-on-one guidance. This is what I've been looking for all my life. This book is a must read!

Life Changing

As I read "Forgiving the Unforgivable," I am affected/changed. Master Charles guides the journey, by directing pauses, keeping the reader attentive.

The stories of the survivors brings up issues for healing for myself regarding this event and my friends lost and injured, as well as
other areas of my life.

The discussion of death, especially that we are closer to our departed than we realize, that the higher mental and emotional forms still exist, and that we
must not shut them out, I read the weekend my cousin died. It allowed me to experience her at the wake and funeral.

I have started the second part of the book now.
In it, I expanding my understanding of what a balanced life is and how important it is to maintain balance day to day.

I look forward to continuing my journey, as I continue reading.
I am grateful for Master Charles' gift of his love and wisdom.
