Do you have the courage to feel what others feel? It
may raise an inner experience you tend to avoid, deflect, or manipulate
against. But in order for us to come together, to love each other, we need this
very particular key that unites humanity as one. Empathy.
The health of humanity depends on our ability to sit
in empathy with the full range of human experience.
Are you ready to be fully alive? To experience all
that life has to offer, as you open to the variety that all our brothers and
sisters offer as an unlimited range of experience, and expansion.
Are you willing to not only feel the joys, but to also
feel despair, rage, and grief? What do
you tend to avoid and whom do you push away or shut down to protect yourself
from feeling what they reflect in your own tender heart?
Those barriers, they cut you off from your own
humanity, creativity, freedom and purpose.
It's time we evolve. We need to take a quantum leap,
together, now. It's time we cultivate empathy and our ability to sit with and
love the full range of human experience. Let’s come alive together.
This differs from understanding and your mind’s
ability to make sense of something. Understanding is a launch pad, but send
that attention downward, like a rocket to your heart, and to your root.
We often stop at the mind and feel satisfied, reassured
that we are done, we understand, we have completed the job. But the work has
only just begun. Understanding is the outer gate, and empathy the inner doorway.
Empathy is love manifest, it draws from your soul, and
sometimes it means you will feel pain, but you love anyway. You let your heart
feel it, and you stay open, even though it hurts, because that’s the key to
connection, to unity, to our brotherhood and sisterhood of humanity.
Life is an experience of fully feeling with warmth in
our heart while rooted deep. This is true freedom.
