Get WAVE 3 On Your Cell

By Frances Kuo

(JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind.) -- Family and friends said goodbye Wednesday to a

16-year-old teenager from southern Indiana. Providence High School

student Gatz died in a weekend crash, and the service in his honor

relayed a touching message of forgiveness. WAVE 3's Frances Kuo was

there.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Jeffersonville could barely

contain all the well-wishers for 16-year-old Gatz.

" There's just a tremendous outpouring of togetherness right now, " said

Ray Day, director of development at Providence High School, where Gatz

was a student. " The church seats 700 people and there are easily two

hundred more than that now. "

Classmates and friends from Providence, friends from Jeffersonville High

School, as well as family members attended Gatz's funeral service at 1

p.m. Wednesday.

On her way to the church, Gatz' friend, Ariel LaGrange, reflected on the

popular guy she knew and loved. " He was a really, really good person, and

it makes me sad because he was going to be a really great guy. "

Gatz was active at Providence and had a passion for photography.

One of his last photos appeared on the back of the program at the

service.

" His younger brother, , is standing on the bridge. However, one of

's aunts remarked that what I see is going towards the light, "

described Day.

Family and friends described that light as brilliant.

" He had such a bright, amazing future ahead of him, " said LaGrange.

There were prayers not only for Gatz, but 18-year-old Paige Grable, who's

accused of driving drunk in Saturday's crash that killed him and injured

his passenger, .

" I think we all need to forgive her and be understanding that even though

she did wrong, that we can't hate her for the rest of our lives, " said

LaGrange.

Day said 's family has been in touch with the Grables and have

expressed their forgiveness as well. " How ready they are to move on, to

dispel all hatred, and ensure forgiveness throughout the community. "

Those who knew him say Gatz would've wanted that too.

During part of his homily, Pastor Tom Clegg said, " I know that would

say there's been enough pain, let the healing begin. By making choices,

by challenging others to do the same. " Day said while some may be ready

to move on and forgive, others are not.

" You touch the hearts that you can touch, and then every heart has to

engage its own response to that plea. "

Earlier this week, the Gatz family released a statement that read in

part:

" We thank everyone who has reached out to us in many ways at this time of

the loss of our son, . The prayerful support of the community has

been a strength to us. 's innocent death once again highlights the

problem of drinking and driving. Our hope is that it will help others

think carefully about the consequences of the choices that they are

making. "

Grable's lawyer said she will check herself into Hazelden, a treatment

center for drugs and alcohol. Her trial is scheduled for next February.

Forgiveness - How to do it

By Nita Hickok © 2006

I have many people get in touch with me every day from all over the world. The theme is always spiritual healing but they also have certain problems. They are suffering and do not understand why spiritual troubles are happening to them. They are also upset because of how others treat them. Most people who have spiritual problems talk to at least one person about the strange things happening to them. The attitude they receive most of the time is that you have brought it upon yourself and accepted this happening to you. It is not true as the people with spiritual problems always have a conscience. They accept blame too readily and have the energies attach to the negative events that have happened to them in their lives.

In recent years, many people are willing to blame the victim for their problems instead of the person harming them. The person abused is the one treated badly because no one wants to admit that this could happen to HIM OR HER. I have heard many slick descriptions justifying why spiritual problems are the fault of the person who is suffering. The

main one is that the person chose what happened to them. I have also heard the same comment made about a person who was robbed or murdered. It is rationalization and fear that causes this reaction. Many

people are just so self-centered that it is horrible when it happens to

them but something to be accepted by everyone else. It can be so miserable for anyone suffering through spiritual problems.

One manual on healing had a whole list of the negative traits of the people who were ill. The people had to have certain problems to get a certain illness. I have never seen a complete cure of anyone when they are using that method. It brings up issues that make it impossible for the people to heal. They become trapped in a cycle of blaming themselves

and causing more disharmonies and imbalances.

The only method I have found that has unlocked the energies needed to

heal a person with spiritual problems is the method of forgiveness and releasing the energies so they do not keep harming the person who is trying to heal. The person is able to heal because the issues generating

the attitudes and illnesses are not there anymore. They are not energized by constant thinking, anger, resentment, grief and reliving of

the bad moments in the persons life.

The instant reaction is I am not forgiving him or her. They were wrong and I am right. It is true of everyone. They know what the other person did to them. No one has offered them compassion or sympathy. They

react to their pain and sorrow instead of thinking how much they are hurting themselves. Lack of forgiveness creates negative energies and the trapped emotions create blockages. Forgiveness will release blockages so that the person feels better. The blocked areas of their lives start moving forward and returning to good experiences. It really does matter how you relate to forgiveness and others cruelty.

Why should you forgive anyone? You forgive because you are capable of

doing so. It removes you from the negative energies of the situation. You get to heal and need to let go of the people or events that harmed you in your life. You are not the one becoming ill from the hate and the anger. You are not the one mentally wishing them harmed every time anything bad happens to you. You are the one moving along your spiritual path instead of remaining trapped in the energies of the bad things that happened to you. Every time you blame anyone or anything

for your problems is a moment you are giving it power over you and your

life.

I say this to others and the next comment is the bible or someone or something else says an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth. We are all

a part of the divine and we ought to act like it. The other people may not act like it but we are not able to control their actions. The only actions we can control are our actions and the choices and causes we put

into effect in the world. Hate does not work, anger does not work, or any other negative emotion. 

People feel that if they keep repeating and showing others the harm done to them others will listen. They believe they are sticking up for themselves and not being a victim. They are teaching others what this person or that person is about in their lives. I agree with this but at a

certain point it gets to where you are not healing yourself. If you have told a person, a few times and they do not have the ethics to understand what you are saying about the problem. You should let it go and let the person go also. I have been patient with many people and tried to show them what I was talking about yet they would not listen. Friends will show if they are really friends at these moments. You should thank God for the opportunity to find out who your real friends are in life. Forgiveness is then crucial for the situation to move forward.

How to Forgive

Bless yourself

Bless what happened to you. You should name the person and talk about

everything that happened to you. You need to say I forgive them and release them to (any deity you worship) let me move on with out the upset and emotions I feel now. Say how you have felt, and what you have done. Say what you have wished upon the others who harmed you and ask forgiveness for what you have brought upon yourself through any actions you have done. State what you have learned about yourself and what not to do in the future.

Forgive yourself for how you felt about yourself and your actions. Promise to never make the same mistake again and keep that promise to yourself. The only way to heal is by forgiving yourself for being human. No one is perfect and if we stay angry at emotional reactions and do not forgive ourselves we are doing ourselves and injustice. Our emotional reactions are learned behavior and not our true

selves so why punish everything in our life for things we can change and cure.

Witness what happened to you by saying I witness XYZ and state this is the truth to (deity). You should then bless your life and thank (deity for a quick resolution of any troubles). Feel yourself, as it would be if it had already happened. Picture the life that you want and do not think of anyone or anything that was the cause of the spiritual harm. Picture what is wrong as a dark energy and it being sucked out of you and going to (deity name).

Release all the wrong in your life to (deity). Picture and see the energies leaving forever. Release yourself to cry or anything necessary to release and overcome what happened to you. It does not mean doing anything that causes harm to another. Releasing and overcoming the energies means clearing out your need for justice and leaving it to (deity) to decide.

Thank deity and picture your life as what you want it to be. Feel your energies and life changing to this life. Set it in all time realities asking (deity) to help set this in motion in your time line and all realities. Praise (deity) as if it was already done and had occurred. Praise your life as if it was already the exact way that you wanted it to be.

You will find that you will need to repeat this multiple times until everything is gone. Do this each day for as long as necessary until you feel the energies snap and change. It will happen quickly for those ready to make a change in their life. The people who hang on to resentment and anger will take longer. Anger at ourselves is the harmful

energies that many people can not let go. We go into patterns about how

we are stupid, gullible and call ourselves names for our mistakes. This

is something in particular to work upon where we do not abuse our own inner nature.

Your health and mental attitude will improve. You will find your life

reflecting off the time line energies as what you want it to be. You will be able to pull down the energies into your life to create the good

life that is yours. It is the ultimate way to heal and resolve any spiritual problems.

You still have to do the work to undo any of their influences upon you but changing your attitude will help make it so there are no negative energies or thoughts for negativity to attach too. It makes a total difference in your life.

I do not suggest staying around people who keep bringing you back into the same space by their attitude. They will realize what they are doing if they are real friends and you will see an improved friend in the future. Anyone who does not act differently was never a friend in the first place. It is hard to do but you will find that your life will change forever and it will be for the better. You have to be persistent because we have spent many years putting our blocks and energies into certain places. I have seen many people saying I changed everything but it is not improved so I might as well go back to what I used to do. I have seen the same people persist and find a new life for themselves.

You can have a better life also.
