Thought Adjuster: “To be ‘[[compassionate]]’ means ‘to [[suffer]] with’. It is an emotional [[expression]] of [[sympathy]] but it is not a mere [[feeling]], as it is combined with a [[desire]] to help. Because we have compassion, we want to take [[action]] and help the person who is suffering.
“Notice the last [[word]] of the above definition: with. We partake of another’s suffering. We suffer [[together]]. This is how we differentiate between compassion and empathy.
“Compassion is the third [[attribute]] of Christ’ Consciousness after [[Love]] and [[Gratitude]]. Each human being has the ability to [[grow]] into Christ Consciousness by increasingly embodying these ‘heart-titudes’ — the [[attitudes]] of Christ’s Heart.
“You can have an [[intellectual]] understanding of the [[concepts]] of Love, Gratitude, and Compassion. Yet, they will remain mental concepts as long as they do not drop into your [[heart]] to be felt — heartfelt. Indeed, you experientially get to know the vast gamut of human [[emotions]], including those which naturally rise to the top — the cream of the creams: Love, Compassion, and Gratitude. As you get in [[touch]] with these selfless [[feelings]], you rewrite your emotional codes, so to speak.
“It is often said that you cannot fully [[understand]] someone’s [[experience]] unless you walk in their very shoes and undergo a similar experience. Indeed, personal experiences are events of full emotional disclosure, as feelings are associated with [[events]]. You can use your [[imagination]] to get a faint idea of what someone is going through but, if you have gone through similar experiences, your heart does not need any [[translation]]. This is why ‘com-passion’ means to suffer with. It is one of the many [[facets]] of Love, associated with sympathy and [[empathy]].
“Many of you have numbed their hearts in order to cope with a very [[painful]] [[reality]], encompassing the suffering of many. A numb heart fails to respond with Love, as it does no longer register some emotional [[impulses]] and has been ‘de-humanized’in some way.
===Closing===
“Jesus was compassionate toward his fellow men. He lived His [[physical]] life with the [[intention]] of more fully [[understanding]] [[humanity]]. How can you treat others as you want to be treated with your heart devoid of compassion? This is an impossibility that needs to be remedied. Compassion will unlock the last seal that prevents your heart from being fully activated. Compassion tells you that you are one of them, that you are [[sharing]] the same boat as is humanity, [[navigating]] stormy waters in search of the [[Harbor]] of [[Peace]] that is to be found in the deepest recesses of your beating heart.”
