Compassion is
not a natural response for the ego. The
ego will go to any lengths to make you feel separate. Compassion does the opposite—it shows you how
very connected you are. It is easy to
feel compassion for a child who is hurt or sick. In them you see innocence and purity. Do you see?
In them you connect ego to spirit.
As the human
ages, you learn human behaviors … ego behaviors. These deepen the sense of separation. To feel compassion for all beings, you must
set aside the ego’s beliefs and see the purity—the little child, the hurting
child, the sick child within even those you judge the most. Yet again, do you see? It is ego that judges. Set ego aside and see all without judgment,
but with compassion, most especially yourself.
The spirit will spring to life and sing with joy to have been set free
and allowed to express its true nature.
