Compassion is an expression of love. It is the heavenly compass that directs man to a deeper understanding of authentic love. It is an accolade to love when expressed with pure intent, without righteous indignation. It draws from the flow of love to empathise and remind of the equality in the nature of God’s creation. 


Compassion is the breath of God upon HIS universe of time and space. It is the filter through which HIS love descends. It is a natural virtue of love.


It breeds patience and tolerance and effects a higher understanding of diverse personalities and experiences. Compassion should not be attended with pity but with knowledge. For when you can know that each experience in life is purposeful you shall honour them be it yours or those of others and offer understanding and support. Offering compassion does not afford you the right to interfere with the experience of others; but to assist them in seeing the experience with a higher vision; to extract from the experience the lesson and to encourage and assist in the transmutation of fault, suffering and disadvantage to freedom, joy, knowledge and truth. To show true compassion requires you to truly understand your brother and you can only do so if your seek to know him. 


Compassion must be an elevated energy which raises your vibration and the vibration of the person and situation to and for which it is offered. It must not depress the vibration through morose expressions and apologies for plights. Plights and experiences are often created by the very ones to whom you offer compassion as a device for learning. When you love with compassion you become an example to others and reinforce within yourself that which you teach through your nature.


The love of God within man can diffuse tensions and anger into the motivation of compassion and this will birth offerings of kindness, empathy, forgiveness and mercy. It must be offered without discrimination. Even those you perceive in darkness deserve your compassion. Is not your brother a part of you? Is not his darkness a reflection of a part of you not yet in light? I remind you of the ONESS of all. Will you shun yourself in anger and hatred? Surely the dark part of you must be weaned into light. With knowledge, truth, love, compassion, understanding, patience and desire this will become possible. 


Let compassion begin with self. Any aspect of you which is not in harmony with God is imperfect, is flawed, is a disease unto itself and must be shown compassion. Let love for self be the guiding force which allows you to recognise the manifested result of the disharmony, usually some form of emotional, mental, psychological or physical suffering. Gently seek counsel from the ONE as to how you can transform that aspect into divine accord. Let passion for harmony and balance catalyse your efforts to effect change.


Many have shown their compassion for the suffering of others and the perceived injustices meted out to others through draconian action such as hunger strikes and wars. The passion in compassion does not require self sacrifice or combative action. When passion is directed without balance more disharmony and mayhem will result. It requires a balanced response fired by love and perseverance to effect change through education of truth to the masses; that the pool of consciousness that comprise your civilisation begin to effect changes at the level of thought which will then impinge on the resulting creation of man


Let compassion be your nature in living and serving and let it be the tool that you use to initiate change in self and circumstances. The wings of compassion must always be kept in flight through the tail wind of prayer for through prayer your compassion will be properly directed and perfectly executed.
