I can totally relate to spero's feelings of frozen still by taking a concept in its most literal sense, and this lead to a passivity that resulted in not taking up opportunities to serve by simply not recognising them.
This cultivated a sense of indifference within me where I completely lost my ability to empathise with others as I was viewing life from this distorted view to accept all that occurs. I did not re-evaluate this until an attack on my life occurred and jolted me out of this mental dead end I had constructed. I was merely observing and accepting life without feeling any of it.
Understanding now that I am the creator positioned at a unique reference point, I am able to act, or 'mitigate' karmic actions while still accepting these actions. This means non judgement or moral assertions in the process of acting. A compassion towards one who is in the midst of causing harm through empathy rather than fear based reaction, ie passivity.
The first distortion at play is key to recognising an accepting attitude I feel. Empathy then ascertains whether action is required.
