Hello, and welcome to our next section. So we're going to do now is we're going to embark on the journey of living human virtues, which is intended to raise our vibration so we can be prepared, be prepared for spiritual awakening. What is the name of this section? The name of this section is compassion. So how we're gonna raise our vibration starting off is going to be to the virtue of compassion. What is compassion?

That's a good question. So I just happen to have another definition here. So the definition for compassionate I have is sympathy and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. And so, what I would like to add on to the compassion, that's like sympathy, but for the practical purpose of this course, we're going to take it even deeper. And so we're going to add the element of empathy. So, so empathy is born out personal experience.

And so you can feel sorry for someone who is suffering if you don't know what they're going through. But empathy means that you have experienced that also. And so when you go into the world of compassion with empathy, it's based on personal experience, you know what somebody else is going through, because you've experienced it yourself. So that comes through life experience. And so as you grow older, and as you gain more experience through life, you have the capacity to become more compassionate, because it's more based on empathy, rather than sympathy. And so that leads us into a place of wisdom, because it's born a personal experience.

Someone is suffering from a loss in their family. I know what that's like, I've experienced that. And so it's more easy for me to be compassionate for that. It's not something I'm thinking, Oh, that's too bad. You know, it's like, actually get it. So.

So that's how we're that's how we're going to address compassion in this section, especially when we get into the meditation, so we're really only In the doors to experience compassion deeply through a meditative state, through empathy and sympathy to work. Where can compassion originate from? Well, it's kind of interesting because compassion is this like heartfelt thing, but really where compassionate originates from his suffering. And so, what I've talked about in my previous courses, which are mostly focused on healing, is that we talked a lot about suppressed emotion from the past. And so when people experience trauma in their past or in their early childhood, the nature of, of emotion is to be experienced. So when emotion is experienced fully, it dissipates and floats away into the ether.

However, almost all of us unconsciously and unaware. Avoid unpleasant emotion. We don't want to experience it. And so, so we avoid those unpleasant emotions. Like when we're quite young, we don't know what we're doing. We're just kind of on autopilot.

And so those emotions get stuffed into the subconscious where they live like little creatures. And then as we grow older, those emotions are going to want to come out and be experienced so they can live their lifecycle. And if we keep avoiding them, they keep getting stuffed in the subconscious. So what happens that we'll start to see and everybody experiences this, we start to see repeating patterns. And so how we release those emotions or heal them is to we can go into a meditative state and essentially let them go and then those repeating patterns will stop. And so everybody experiences that everybody experiences those repeating patterns of suffering.

So So in a way, we are masters of our own suffering. So someone else can help us experience a trauma from the past, but once we have it, it's ours to deal with, you know, and you can be on so you can't you can't blame others for your problems, but that doesn't help anybody. So when you as you get older, you realize you have The stuff inside of you, which is called suffering cavities, repeating patterns. And then, with enough awareness and enough insight, you realize, Hey, everybody has this stuff. Everybody goes through these problems. Everybody in humanity has suffered.

And we continue to suffer. And that's one thing that we all have in common throughout history. So so that's where compassion can the roots of compassion originate from? What happens when we realize we create our own suffering? So when we come to the realization that we create our own suffering, what happens is that that increases our awareness. So we realize, hey, there's something going on inside of me, that makes me create these same patterns, like there's different people.

But the same problems are coming up that i've you know, been dealing with different people have the same problems come up over and over again. So then you come to the realization or, hey, maybe it's not about the other person. Maybe what's going on in my life is about what's going on inside of me. And so then when we come to that level of realization, then we figure out, hey, we're all in the same boat. We've all suffered. We've all hurt others.

We all have unresolved emotions inside. We're all unaware to some extent. And we've all been conditioned by our past. So we're all raised in a certain way. through what of our culture, we're influenced by the media, our schools and our religion all kind of influence us in ways that we don't realize. And so, for me, like some of the emotions I have, like when I've gone through a divorce or whatever, or when I've gone through things with my children, those are the same emotions that I carry inside that may in another culture may take someone to take violent action against somebody or to be a suicide bomber.

So in that way, I am kind of connected to anybody with those similar emotions. So everyone has The emotions inside of them of the criminal, the abuser, the collector, the victim, everybody on the planet shares those things. So we are all in the same boat in terms of suffering. And for some strange reason, that's the way the human condition is. So being a human being is a challenge because we all suffer, and and dealing with our suffering is the way that we grow. And the weird part is that we create the suffering from what lives inside of us.

So, when we come to that realization that we're all in the same boat, that's when we begin to with a level of elevated level of awareness and we want to raise our vibration, we start to see that with through the eyes of compassion. So we understand through empathy through what we have gone through, that everybody else is in the same boat of being a human being, which is really strange because we all suffer. It's really unusual. So So that's kind of where compassion comes from. And that's how we're going to go into a meditation experience. Let me jump to the next question what we're going to be doing in the meditation.

So what we're going to be doing in this meditation is going to be really profound. And so what we're going to do is that we're going to go into a deeply relaxed state. And we're going to become aware of our own suffering. Now, we're not going to dwell on the suffering, but we're just going to be aware of any pain or trauma that we've experienced in the past, we're not going to dwell on it, that's not what we're going to do. We're not even going to heal it So, but what we're going to do is just become aware of it. And then we're going to become aware through a visual technique that you'll find out in the meditation, that we're going to be aware that another person is actually experiencing what we're experiencing.

So it can be pretty deep and profound. And then we're going to take it bigger than that, that that we can actually experience on the inside that what we feel as suffering everybody on the planet feels. So we're all in the same boat, and then we're going to come to you Universal understanding that we're all connected through the exercise of compassion. So we're all together in this world. So an exercising the compassion is that realization that we all suffer and we are all connected in that way. So, so, welcome to the meditation.

I hope that this is profound and deep and so get us into the process of raising our vibration, by becoming aware of compassion, to set the stage for us to have a spiritual awakening. So see it's meditation.
