This is what compassion means to me, its a bit like understanding but on a more holistic level that includes emotions and the whole energy someone is in.
This does not seem limiting. I was reminded of the ideas I posted about when I read your earlier post, where you described compassion as not always the appropriate response, it somehow being in the way and happening instead of practical action which can help. That's a description of compassion as somehow limiting.
If compassion simply is consciousness expanding in the direction of the other, then how would that be in the way of helping the other, practically? Seems like it would help, instead, because it would make clearer what's appropriate action and what isn't.
I figured out how compassion can get in the way. Or, really, how emotionally-connected consciousness can get in the way.
When you feel really deeply, then the usual solutions may begin to seem meaningless, or insignificant, in relation to what you are aware of. That's because the usual patterns of problems with solutions, the solutions debated and considered by most people, are all within the sinkhole of indifference. Feel beyond that, and the entire paradigm is blown away... How to help then, beyond simply sharing information?
That's old for me, really. It's why I haven't been able to "believe in" most causes, long-term. But my emotionally-rooted awareness used to be very bitter, so it took a while to see how it can relate to the question of compassion.
For example...
- School. Good to add resources to? Dramatizing this only a little, school is like a slaughterhouse for the soul, or a place where children go to have holes drilled into their energy bodies and control/feeding tubes connected, integrating them into the Matrix. It works the same in every country.
- Medicine. All donations into the big charities fund the paradigm inseparable from the big players of the industry.
- Sustainable food paradigms. Did you know that for each calorie of food energy produced, ten in the form of fossil fuel are used to produce the food? Make it vegan, and both that problem and that of depleting the top soil of the planet remains. Ecocide remains on the largest scale.
Without listing everything I've grown aware of from earlier years, sometimes I had such a bitter awareness of it that it felt like the destruction of it all would be a beautiful thing. Comets grinding this global civilization to dust and burning it to ashes. Nature restarting in the absence of humanity.
