Rabbi Zalman Schechter-Shalomi discusses eldering work and forgiveness in the context of coming to terms with mortality. Without forgiveness, eldering work cannot be done. He explains that in forgiveness work, one must start with simple as opposed to global issues. When you have unforgiveness you create an armor around it. Forgiving is a sense of letting go—a release of energy. He describes 3 stages: a simple “excuse me,” taking the opposition to see what it’s like, and atonement—becoming one again. He then recites the forgiveness prayer. He goes on to discuss eldering work and the eldering spirit.
