Practicing Compassion

I first began a conscious path of Compassion in 1980. My wife at that time was already practicing Non-dualism but I was still (from having parents who were mystical Christian Ministers) a practicing Christian Dualist still. I hadn't yet embraced non-dualism because I didn't fully understand it yet. When I did a Path of compassion became my obvious course.

Once I was able to see that dualism is actually a very childish state of mind that relates more to child rearing than anything else. Dualism is what allows us to scare our children into not running out the front door and be hit by cars when they are 2 to 4 years old before they just inherently know better.

But, if you become a full adult capable of serious decision making, dualism is sort of a joke because then you can see if you study it that it is no longer useful really for adults.

Because the world really is not absolute good or bad like in the comic books. The comic books might be nice for entertainment but in reality most people are both good and bad all the time. And most of what people consider bad is either ignorance or as a direct result of child abuse that has come down through thousands of years of various types of psychological and physical abuse. And many of those forms of abuse were just called child rearing or "Spare the rod and spoil the child" sort of thinking.

So, if you are or become a free thinking, critical thinking full fledged educated adult who isn't having to compensate from too many types of abuse growing up then Dualism can only be a joke once you study it from a truly adult perspective.

Once one sees non-dualism sort of like the weather: i.e. "is the weather good or bad?" answer it is always both. Is snow good or bad? It depends upon whether you individually are freezing to death out in it or not. Is wind good or bad? It depends upon whether you are sailing a boat or whether you are in a dust storm and can't breathe because of it. Is rain good or bad? It is both. If it floods and you lose your home it is bad. But if you are coming out of a drought then you thank God for water to drink and for your farms and cattle and goats etc.

Life is actually like this. Things in the end are not ultimately good or bad in an ultimate sense almost ever. And when they are it is obvious to everyone usually and so it doesn't even need discussing most of the time.

Once a person embraces non-dualism as an adult perspective one can then embrace compassion for all life in the universe past, present and future. And this path is the single most powerful and effective path I have yet found anywhere for individual enlightenment, group enlightenment and the enlightenment of all beings in the universe past, present and future.

And I am forever Grateful to Jesus and to Saint Germain for leading me to this path in this lifetime along with God.
