To align yourself with this I would suggest revisiting what is said to be the only truth, or rather law, in the material and read anew its eloquent description in the very first session. As there is no multiplicity to the Law of One, there is neither any multiplicity to truth. All is truly well at all times and this is true in the most fundamental possible way.
For me, it's always about doing the circle of my emotions and touching unity anew. There is no way I know of to simply always be in the constant awareness of unity, yet it forever remains there to do the journey toward it with different portions of yourself. When you do so, it always feels like a great moment in time, one where you release control, expectation and instead see truly that all is well and as it should be. It is not your duty to wish others to be otherwise than what they are and this is why the path is one of acceptance. All things are truly acceptable in the proper time for each entity and it may be helpful to acknowledge this. This is key for compassion.
This is very well put, thank you. I believe it in my heart and mind. Sometimes, though, when resting in this understanding, a small voice will pop up. It will raise concern that this perspective, while valid, may also be a tool for bypassing an essential part of the experience we're hoping to have here on Earth. We have volunteered to experience and witness pain - what do we do with that pain, then?
I have two conflicting ideas of the process.
One is, by "doing the circle" of emotions and "touching unity anew," we are bringing the sacred light of unity and the Creator to that pain. To find unity amidst the difficulty is a powerful act and transforms not just ourselves, but the world.
The other idea is that, by witnessing pain and then defaulting back to unity, we are "averting the gaze," in a sense. Perhaps the pain has more to tell us that we are no hearing by intentionally diverting our attention from it?
I suspect that it's not the same for everyone in every situation. In this situation we're currently in, for my part, I'm feeling as though I would be missing something essential if I simply allowed myself to rest in the broader perspective of harmonious unity without engaging more in the collective pain being experienced.
I don't think you can so much rest in the perspective of unity, at least not in 3D. That is why I likened it to a journey, because for each thing it will start with your initial response to catalyst and something not of a very high vibration. Then, you can't either just dismiss it and turn to unity in one go. From the initial response, there will be many phases of transformation as you learn to balance your response and work with your own blockages. This will allow you to elevate the way you can feel until there is no emotional charge and only love remains. Or at least, that is the principle behind reaching a balanced state, which the material says can be easily confused with indifference while it is not indifference. The hardship when looking at everyone, is that we all resonate more with certain catalysts and less with others, so not every catalyst is meant to teach everyone something in the same fashion. Unity is nothing about a fully harmonious experience, unity is about separation and everything. There is no unity without pain, for unity teaches to accept the entire spectrum of experience and pain is its own rightful part of it. As such, pain is its own lesson, as an infinite principle, of unity.
To me it is clear that in the world there is a whole lot of pain every single day. In this entire situation, all parties involved directly in it have clear behaviors that are rooted in pain. Your country is also a whole lot archaic in many ways and some of these ways underlie these issues. It is in the top countries in the world with the biggest social gaps between rich and poor. You are one of, if not the only, civilized country with a strong custom of mutilating your male newborns, while most of the other countries that do so have an elitist/negative religious background to this custom. Living somewhere where this is not a custom, I can tell you that the very few people I know of that had such a procedure have a lifelong struggle with charged feelings of separation from their other-selves, deep negative emotions and anger issues. The idea of applying this to a whole country tells me that it is very likely to have strong turmoil and things like racism will be much harder to fall away. Literally everyday, thousands of american newborns will be inflicted a deep trauma when they are at their most vulnerable and this will affect them for the rest of their life. If I want to find reasons to be heartbroken about things relating to your country, I could easily trap myself into disallowing joy to be part of my life without even looking at the rest of the world. I believe your country will have many storms, because there are just quite many things that will need to fall away to open up to a new vibration and from there I have the choice to either get swept up in the maelstrom or process things in a way I can center myself in the vibration I want radiate into this world. I do not condemn anger, worry, heart-brokenness and so on, as they each are beautiful emotions to have of themselves and fruits of this experience we are having. I simply want to remind that they are steps and that in seeking a higher vibration we can attain higher positive emotions in regard to catalysts. Maybe it was not clear, but what I was trying to get at when writing about the Logos's plan, is that a vivid, varied and intense experience is a gift to us and this includes all the events that are going on.
Life an Earth has a strong thematic of struggle, even up to a newborn's very first breath. This is an intended thematic, as through the weight of these struggles each entity's inner light, which is their identity as an astral body of this Universe, is allowed to be refined ever stronger and nobler. Creation and destruction are extremely basic principles within the cosmos and that are ever on-going. Although this is a tough ride, it is we, the One Infinite Creator, that gets to be satisfied with having gone through it. When things are easy and simple and without difficulties, there are less rewards, but when you push yourself through your limits and get to see the power of your inner light and will, it is you who will be satisfied with the journey. These difficult times are an opportunity for many to shine their light within Creation, so not everything is purely sorrowful.
I believe true compassion takes no party, because when it does you are retreating on likeliness to yourself and it is not so much of an open heart then. This is exactly what is happening in your country, certain people only know to have compassion for those who are alike themselves and direct their negatively charged energy toward those are are not. Likeliness is also in no way limited to race, it can be applied to every single dimension that can make up one's sense of identity. So if you are stuck having compassion only for a certain side, you are a part of the maelstrom and you are further enabling the wheel of karma to turn. The only thing that has the power to stop the wheel is forgiveness. While this may sound awfully hard to achieve, it seems like a student of the Law of One, who has learnt to recognize itself within each and every of its other-self, may more easily do this work. If you recognize your other-self as also you, you may be open to process this other-self as part of yourself and see that none is above above them nor could do better where they stand, because they are the perfect reflection of them all standing exactly in its shoes.
So for your question "what do we do with that pain, then?", the answer is simply 'what do you do with your own pain?'. That is how you, as a self, ought to process the pain of others also.
