Imploding, Exploding Compassion

When compassion collapses, and passion explodes, energy becomes misplaced.

Let’s be honest: this happens to all of us. Someone says something we don’t agree with, an emotion arises, our compassion disintegrates and we explode…or we smoulder in silence.

As practitioners (and this is anyone who recognises that there is more to us than the set of ideas we hold), in the moment of imploding compassion when a negative emotion is about to arise, awareness catches the moment of implosion…and no explosion occurs!

Well maybe just little ones 🙂
We still need passion to persevere and be of benefit to others:
It’s a lifetime’s work!

Smouldering in silence speaks volumes…loudly!
True compassion means active compassion:
there is such thing as spiritual indifference.

Compassion is confidence.
Compassion is empathy: we are able to feel a situation,
having confidence that the answer lies in that situation.

Our doubt comes from fear.
Although we are free, we still want to be free:
that doubt comes from fearing our own minds.
