8. COMPASSION
Compassion is the flip side of the coin of judgement. Judging one another can spread like a prairie fire when given favorable ingredients- comparison, competition, and unforgiveness. Yet, allowing yourself to take the inner perspective of the one being judged douses the flames with understanding and empathetic compassion.
Where this flip can be the most challenging is with ourselves. Some of the most unforgiving thoughts, some old thinking morphed into belief systems can be lodged in the crevices of our own mind. By accepting these cues from the mind, we not only create false truths, we absorb these distortions. Then, these falsehoods can appear as our personal system of principles.
True compassion is the flowing, tender, impenetrable adhesive of Love- love of Self, love in the oneness of all being, love simply for love. Compassion is YOU!
