    About this ebook

    Forgiveness – The Unforgiving Life is an incredible mind-opening book dealing with the subjects of forgiving lies, forgiving yourself, forgiving the unforgivable, forgiving others forgiving me, forgiving for good, forgiving infidelity, and forgiveness finding peace through letting go. Written by one of the nation’s leading behavioral scientists and counselors, Dr. Treat Preston leaves no stone unturned on the causes behind this debilitating problem but then teaches his readers how to easily overcome their problem. In his book, Dr. Preston gives an entire chapter on the behavioral science behind the human mind and why you do the things you do. He then talks about the burden of regret, the burden of fear and a concept rarely discussed – You Can’t or You Won’t! His chapter on “The Two Most Important Questions,” in and of itself, is worth the price of the book. But, without a doubt, his concluding chapter on “What If” pulls it all together for his readers and demonstrates what his readers need to do to overcome this problem. If you are having trouble forgiving others or yourself, you owe it to yourself to read this book!

      The Unforgiving Life - Treat Preston

      Chapter 1 – Laying a Proper Foundation

      As I stated in the Introduction to this book, in all of my Mind/Think series of books, I provide the following discourse on the Human Mind in order to lay a proper foundation to what I am about to teach.  Read Chapter 1 carefully and study the details; I will be referring back to this chapter often.

      The Mechanism of the Human Mind

      Prior to the fall of man into sin as described in the Garden of Eden, man’s spirit was hooked to God’s infinite spirit.  There was no death because God’s spirit is infinite.  Man is the only animal on earth that shares the eternality nature of God.  The subject of eternal life has been a heated topic of man from the beginning of our existence. 

      In Greek mythology, there’s a story about a mortal youth named Tithonus.  Aurora, the goddess of dawn, fell in love with the boy and when Zeus, the king of the gods, promised to grant Aurora any gift she chose for her lover, she asked that Tithonus might live forever.  But, in her haste she forgot to ask for eternal youth, so when Zeus granted her request, Tithonus was doomed to an eternity of perpetual aging as a grouchy old man… forever.

      In the movie Highlander, Angus McLeod was born in 1518 as an immortal being.  He could not die and to me, the best part of the movie was the depiction of this immortal's agony here on earth as he watched everything he loved die forcing him to begin his life over and over again. He saw all of the ugliness, which man had caused over four centuries.  He witnessed the Spanish Inquisition, Waterloo, the atrocities of the Third Reich, and more.  He saw the slavery and bigotry of the eighteenth century, the slaughter of the Native American tribes after the Civil War.  This man's life was a living Hell! 

      There is a very big difference between the ways our feeble minds picture eternal life versus God’s idea of eternal life.  Our understanding comes from Quantum Physics and is limited within the Time-Space Continuum.

      Life is your spirit, but the soul of man has usurped the spirit's position and psychology is now forced to define how we live our lives based on the animating force of the soul instead of the spirit.  As I said previously, the soul has usurped the spirit’s place as our animating force.  Let's discuss this now.

      Body First Person - When the body becomes our life, we live as animals.

      Body-Mind In Sync - When the soul becomes our life, we live as rebels and fugitives in a life of desires, emotions, and will (consuming entities).  This is the position of mankind today!

      Mind First Person - But when we come to live our life in the mind/spirit and by the spirit, though we still use our soul’s faculties just as we do our physical faculties, they are now the servants of the spirit.

      If you live as a consuming entity, you will always lose.   In other words, to get, you must give - you must sacrifice!  Have you ever wondered why you have so many anxieties, phobias, worries and fears?  The reality of this world is evil.  So what is reality?  I will tell you.  This is
