You can’t do something to someone and think that you’re going to apologize, and then all will be well.

Can you close spiritual debts by apologies?

Yes and no.

It depends on the situation.

(I’m using myself as an example)

If you do something to hurt me, and then I do something to hurt you back for what you did to me.

We’re square.

The debt is canceled out.

There’s no karma to dish out.

The debt was repaid when I did something to hurt you back.

If you do something to hurt me “Intentionally” for money or whatever reason. "—The key word is intentional.

And I do not retaliate, then you owe a debt for that pain that you caused.

You can not apologize that away. —UNLESS I accept your apology.

Then the debt will be cleared.

I’m PETTY!

If you hurt me, and it “WAS NOT INTENTIONAL.” —Only the divine and the spirits know your heart

There is a debt because you caused pain and suffering, although it wasn’t intentional.

But an apology, whether it’s accepted or not, can be forgiven and cleared.

It has to come from the heart, and there is no fooling the spirits or the divine.

Are there exceptions to the rules?

Or course, and I don’t make them up.

I would say that it’s on a case-by-case basis.

Like for example, I wrote about someone having to clear their debts by apologizing publicly.

They caused hurt and pain publicly, and they had to apologize publicly to clear their debts to get back in the divine’s good graces again.

That message wasn’t for everybody.

That was a specific message for that person.

Try it if you want to.
