Exchanging negative energy for positive energy.

To combat negative energy with more negative energy is foolish: this just makes a bad situation worse. Fighting a concept with another concept results in the the mind never breaking free. Rather, it merely goes into turmoil, justifying itself with many after-thoughts. One may even find one cannot sleep that night due to the residue of circling thoughts!

Positive energy is seeing through the games being played (kindly), and bringing the negative energies back to normal – and that’s all! Positive energy is not used as a weapon to win an argument: it is there for the sake of clarity and kindness. This is compassion, and not something sentimental. Once the situation is freed, we can then drop the positive energy, otherwise it smothers. Holding on to it creates pride. Positive action produces no justifying thoughts – as everything is dropped.

Compassion has power. It can neutralise a situation, support a situation, add knowledge to a situation, or destroy a situation. Remember that negativity is all to do with ego’s games (ego is our consciousness clinging to ideas, which ends up creating suffering).

Compassion works on many levels. This depends on the depth of one’s understanding…which can always do with a little improvement ;-)-! We all over-do it, get too involved, want everything to work out nicely – but it doesn’t happen that way. As soon as we have done our bit for a situation, upon walking away, it all seems to collapse! That is just part of the process.

The individuals involved in each situation have their own evolving to do. All we can do is sow a “compassion seed” by merely creating space. Maybe sometime in the future, that seed will grow… when enough manure has done its job!
