Living with Compassion

Living with true compassion is effortless. That seems to be impossible. Don't we need to make effort, to strive, to be something more. This is not how compassion works. The feeling of compassion for others, another term for compassion is true love, or selfless love, comes naturally and flows from your heart . It does not come from trying to be something out of a sense of inadequacy or lacking within the bottom of our heart. In order to be truly compassionate,you must reconnect with the I AM ness of life. In other words, resting on the firm foundation of who we are at the central level. From that secret, sensitive and deep place, we can feel the total connectivity to the universe. This connectivity allows us to feel and see that no one is special because we are all special. It allows us to feel a connection of heart and a sensitivity of heart, and heightened spirit, effortlessly. From that connectivity, true love and compassion automatically flows with no barriers, no effort, creating divine joy, peace, and ecstasy. From that place you're able to see life as one with no division. Imagine the whole cosmos is one living organism similar to your own body. If you found discomfort or some problem in any part of your body, you would naturally sense and focus your attention and your energy, and your love in that area, in order for it to heal. The reason that most humans do not live with true compassion is because they feel a sense of separation from being cut off from their being by egoic consciousness. The sickness of the ego dulls that sensitivity and that feeling of connectivity. This cuts off the flow of natural compassion that automatically would flow in the awakened state of consciousness. Therefore our focus should not be on doing spiritual things or pretending to be spiritual, pretending to love out of the striving sense for future attainment. We need to look inward toward our deeper dimension, where the ego cannot live,where your true compassion is waiting to be ignited. You may say this sounds like an inactivity to me. Don't we need to take responsibility for the world? The answer is simply yes we do. But it needs to flow from our natural state of being within ourselves, not from the pseudo spiritual mask you try to put on, pretending to care in order to impress others, or to fill up the hole in your own soul. Fix the hole in the soul first, and at that point you will never need to try, or make effort ,to become compassionate. It is your natural state of being. Awakened it and see what happens .
