Why do so many humans struggle with the concept of compassion?

[Louisabell]

I suppose a good question to ask is, "can you feel compassion for those that don't feel compassion"?

If your answer is no,sometimes or depends, then look within to find the answers that you seek.

Q'uo quote on the initiation into green energy centre, that centre of compassion...

When we come to the green energy center, we are focused then upon the unconditional love which each entity has for all entities within the creation, for at this point the entity is the creator in miniature, shall we say, and feels the love of the One Infinite Creator for all of the creation. This love of the creation then is reflected in some kind of a challenge, shall we say, that asks of this entity so penetrating green ray or the heart energy center to be able to love that which seems unlovable. This type of an initiation is that which then allows the seeker to look within itself to find the qualities of the unlovable being within itself that are stopping it from being able to so love this entity.

When this is accomplished, then there are various other types of initiations that would expand upon this basic concept of being able to love that which is beyond oneself, that which is not understandable, that which seems to be difficult, shall we say.

As for the large amount of humans which don't seem interested in progressing, Q'uo has elaborated on what Ra termed the 'sinkhole of indifference'...

Gary: I have a couple of quick follow-ups to that question, thank you so much Q’uo. One is about what causes or contributes to this sinkhole of indifference. It seems like you were saying habituation is one primary cause—it’s just what entities are used to over who knows how many incarnations and planets. I think another is the diversity of planetary origins on this planet. Are there any other significant contributing factors to why so many are in a sinkhole of indifference?

Q’uo: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. Again, we appreciate your analysis of the situation for many of these entities have had these types of experiences upon other planetary influences where they were, shall we say, not energetically processing catalyst in a conscious manner at any time during the incarnation, so that the possibility of such processing was removed from their concept of how the life might be lived and enhanced.

The sowing of indifference, then, began as a seeding of consciousness that produced the mistaken conclusion that the present moment experience was all that was available. Thus, the movement beyond the present moment experience was not sought as an alternative to existing within that moment self-created by entities that had little success in seeing the greater view of the life experience.

These entities also had little contact, therefore, with their greater being, their higher self or unconscious mind so that there was little chance that pre-incarnative choices could be made more clearly observable or perceived by these entities. Thus, by not being able or willing to move beyond the present moment self-constructed, they found themselves within a bind in which the mind was unable to see any further than the imagine of the self that had been projected by time and experience in previous incarnations that had carried forth into the present incarnation in each instance. Thus, there was the slowing of any forward movement so that the entities began in a metaphysical sense to go round and round instead of moving outside of the circle, outside of the previous conception of the self, and begin to allow perceptions of all kinds to expand into greater and greater views of the self, other selves, and the world around all.

Therefore, these entities have experienced a kind of drudgery or dragging of energies that are available to all in the beginning of each third-density experience.

It is difficult to say precisely how the beginning of such dragging or drudgery occurs within the beginning third-density experience, for all, at that point, have some desire to move forward. There is, within each entity, a kind of spark of intuition and inspiration that each begins the third-density experience with at some point.

As this spark is not fed and the fire begins to dwindle, then, there is this type of energy dragging and dissipating that, in the metaphysical sense, causes the slowing of the progress until it becomes as if no progress can be made.

...

We find that the gravity well of indifference is that which operates upon the spiritual level, much as you might say peer pressure operates socially upon entities within a third-density environment where the reproduction of behaviors and thoughts of entities surround one seems to be the best way to proceed; for the third-density entity begins with the desire to be appreciated and valued by those about it, and instead of initiating its own behavior, will then reproduce the behavior that it perceives being exhibited by those that are within its evidence reach or realm of experience.
