Post 52 – The Eternal Resolution of Wrongs: Trauma, Forgiveness, and the Structure of Being

Suffering, whether born from perceived injustices, personal trauma, or the wounds inflicted and received in relationships, occupies a central place in the human condition. Throughout life, individuals struggle with burdens—the memories of harm, feelings of resentment, and the psychological weight of victimhood. While religion and psychology offer ways of addressing these issues, their most profound resolution arises when examined through the lens of the Structure of Being.

The Burden of Wrongs in Human Experience

One of the greatest obstacles in life is the perception of injustice—the wrongs we believe we have suffered, whether real or perceived. Almost everyone carries some form of trauma, wrestling with it throughout their existence. Beyond personal wounds, there are the everyday slights and offenses each person inevitably inflicts on others, whether intentionally or unknowingly. These experiences shape our emotional and psychological landscapes, reinforcing the belief that suffering and injustice define existence.

Religious traditions have long pointed to forgiveness—both given and received—as a means of liberation from this burden. They offer various paths for expiation, whether through personal atonement or divine grace, as a way to restore harmony. Similarly, psychology recognizes the centrality of wounds, offering therapeutic practices that often mirror religious rituals, such as confession, self-reflection, and emotional release through dialogue.

However, these approaches still operate within a framework of becoming—a perception of time and transformation that presupposes a process of healing, progress, or redemption. Yet, within the appearing of eternity, all wounds, traumas, and perceived wrongs are resolved not through change, but within the eternal necessity of Being itself, where their weight diminishes in the light of the totality of what is.

The Illusion of Harm and the Eternal Necessity of Being

From the standpoint of the Structure of Being, all that is, necessarily is eternally. Nothing truly comes into being, nor does anything pass away. There is no transition from suffering to healing, nor from guilt to forgiveness, because nothing ever truly undergoes transformation—each being simply is, eternally appearing in its necessary place within the totality of Being.

In this light, the perception of harm or injustice is not an objective reality but a misinterpretation of the eternal necessity of all things. What appears as suffering is part of the necessary structure of Being, not a deviation from it. The belief that one has been wronged, or has wronged others, arises from the misunderstanding that things could have been otherwise when, in truth, all things necessarily appear as they do.

This perspective does not negate suffering as an experience but removes the contradiction inherent in perceiving it as something unjust, unnecessary, or in need of repair. The unfolding of life, including every trauma and perceived wrong, is not a problem to be solved but a necessary expression of the eternal order.

Near-Death Experiences and the Life Review: A Glimpse of the Eternal

Many near-death experiences (NDEs) describe a life review in which individuals see their actions not only from their own perspective but also from the vantage point of those they affected. In such moments, the perceived injustices of life appear within a totality that reveals their deeper necessity. Even childhood wounds, past traumas, and the harm done to others are seen in their complete dimension—not as errors, but as part of an integral whole.

Those who undergo such experiences frequently report an absence of external judgment. Instead, they describe an all-encompassing understanding—a realization that everything, even suffering, is part of a necessary and perfect totality. In this state, the concepts of blame, resentment, and victimhood dissolve—not because wrongs are dismissed, but because their necessity is fully understood.

This recognition mirrors what the Structure of Being reveals: there is no true injustice, no real harm that needs to be avenged or corrected. What appears as wrongdoing is, within the eternal structure, a necessary manifestation of Being. Forgiveness, in this view, is not an act of condescension or moral superiority but the inevitable realization that no true harm was ever done—because nothing in Being is ever lost, violated, or diminished.

The End of Resentment: Realizing the Perfection of Being

If all that is, necessarily is, then resentment, anger, and the desire for reparation are grounded in misunderstanding. The perception of oneself as a victim of circumstance or of others as perpetrators of harm is only possible if one assumes that things could have been otherwise. Yet, within the eternal necessity of Being, this assumption collapses.

The realization of the Structure of Being does not lead to indifference or detached acceptance of suffering. Rather, it dissolves suffering at its root by revealing its necessity. The resolution of pain, then, is not in overcoming it, healing from it, or forgiving it as a moral act—it is in the recognition that all things, as they eternally are, could not be otherwise. In this recognition, love is not an act of will but the inevitable acknowledgment of the eternal harmony of Being.

Conclusion: The Illumination of Wrongs Within Eternity

The issues of trauma, resentment, and the perception of wrongdoing weigh heavily on the human experience. Religion and psychology offer paths of forgiveness and reconciliation, yet both operate within the framework of becoming. The Structure of Being, however, reveals a deeper truth: nothing is ever truly wronged, because all things appear necessarily and eternally. With the appearing of eternity, the perception of wrongs dissolves, as suffering itself is seen within the perfect and harmonious totality of Being.

From this perspective, forgiveness is not a process, nor something to be granted or earned. It is the natural resolution that emerges when one sees that all things, even suffering, are part of the necessary and perfect order of Being. With the appearing of eternity, the perception of wrongs diminishes, as the harmony of Being makes suffering vanish by comparison. Love, then, is not a response to wrongs—it is the inevitable recognition of the eternal necessity of all that is.
