Compassion means you got out enough to see why people are in. Why? Because you were in and you can see how you were when you were in.
How do you interact with compassion? You understand. The first step is to say, "I am interacting with the sum of this person's experience".
Michael A. Singer
I wanted to stress that my entry yesterday was me...an imperfect and yet to be evolved human being...beginning to see clearly beyond ego. I was able to see how my own reactive ego was behaving days before. Then when I decided to stop struggling against what Life was offering...I could see my ego even clearer...I could see the samskara that was so triggered by this other ego behaviour. When I committed myself to using this to help release taht blockage...knowing the only way through is through... I could so clearly see the ego of others. Because ego is just ego, right? I do not want to have my reactive ego standing toe to toe with someone else's reactive ego. That is nonsense. More importantly, I do not want to be consumed with anger and resentment. I want it all out of me. What is happening here , for me, anyway, is a positive thing because it it is allowing for a samskara release. It is cleansing me of at least one samskara. I am therefore, lighter, freer, and a lot more clearer becasue of this.
The resentment is pretty much gone. I can have empathy and compassion for the people involved. I can have more empathy and compassion for myself. I can. Not because I am better than them or anything like that...only because I too was caught in that ego mind frame for most of my life. I did, said, and sent out many unwholesome things when I was in it. And now that I have a few toes out of it, I can see clearer why people get caught in it.
I love this:.
How do you get mad at a baby for peeing in their diaper...how do you get mad at someone for getting caught in their ego. [Both are natural for the stage of devolpment the person is at.]
All is well!
