Lesson 84: In Many Holy Teachings...
Before I even knew about this lesson, I was practising the exercise. That’s cool in itself I believe. Anyway, this lesson starts off by saying that “in many holy teachings, compassion is misrepresented as the final stage of evolution.” I can’t say that I have read every holy teaching and do not know this to be true or not. We have the ability to evolve now, if of course we choose to. It’s all a choice for us but I also feel this comes in our own time – when we really want to wake up. Today is all about taking some awareness and feeling compassion to every living thing you see today. Do it as much as you can and as often as you can. We can inflate our hearts and spread that energy around.
I had my mediumship class today and I was eating at the train station when some birds came to surround me. Obviously hungry, I shared my croissant with them. One lil bird only had one leg and I wondered what circumstances that bird had experienced to only have one leg. I felt more love for it because it had a set back in life but still managed. What a feat that would be.
I often people watch because I wonder what their lives are like and I wished that everyone that was immediately in front of me are really realising their full potential. I actually wanted them to be living their best lives even though they were all glued to their phones. I could see the pain all over their faces, so for me, I just sent well wishes for them and hope something good happens in their lives.
I went to class and everyone is so lovely. We were connecting with loved ones passed over and there was one very touching story, where one of the group members had a partner pass away 2 years ago. The whole time during the reading, I felt quite sad but proud at how this girl was so strong. It was quite personal and I held compassion for this friend. What gave me hope for her was that she held herself well and every time her partner does come up in readings, she’s quite happy because he was her best friend. There was a certain beauty in how far she has come and goes to show that people can really overcome anything.
And the final thing I remember doing that was of value, was giving money to a homeless man. There was very much despair on his face and as I put down my money, he thanked me. I give money to homeless people often. It’s not much but I still find if I can make a difference to even one person’s life, then that is uplifting for me.
That’s me for today! Tell me your stories of compassion that you’ve experienced.
