Empathy consciousness

I am a Gemini so I like to make up words unfortunately my partner won’t let me use them in scrabble although she informs me ‘HER’ two letter words are legit but that’s another story.

In a world where teenagers are shooting guns at random and primary school children are beating up their classmates it has become clear there is no ‘empathy consciousness’. This is totally different from morals such thing usually being dictated by the doctrine of a religious organization. Empathy consciousness reaches beyond the need to do the right thing and connects you to the soul voice of the person you have touched by your words and actions.

We are a generation plugged in and tuned out no wonder we can’t hear this voice we have enough trouble hearing our own. Our children are being taught they have to be more have more do more they are on a path ego driven. The basic sense of ‘I am’ the being one with everything has been lost. What a different world if I could be you but for a moment if I could feel what you feel know what it was like to be you. The need to fill up our lives is over taking the need to be fulfilled. Without this connection to life to something bigger than me it is difficult to have empathy consciousness.

You can pity a homeless person but that is entirely different to knowing what it is like to be them. When we look at the lives of other people we tend to go “Phew I am just glad it is not me having to deal with those issues or live like that.” But rarely do we go “I wonder what it is like to be him/her?”

It is difficult to have an empathy consciousness when the person you look at is a reflection of all the things you hate about yourself. If I get rid of them maybe I will get rid of what I see as horrible and bad about myself. I am no expert but it seems in the fast food culture we live in it is easier to glance at the label than unwrap the package and look inside. Think about it….

The problem is we tell our children to do the right thing but they really don’t know what that is anymore. They are confused scared and don’t know who they are or where they fit in so how on earth are they going to be able to have ‘empathy’ for someone else.

Empathy consciousness arises from the ability to see a bigger picture a soul map of human greatness. It is the ability to not be more but see more, not have more but receive more and not want more but give more. Every person I meet on the street is my reflection because we are not separate entities we are a community of souls rising to the challange of being human.

My prayer will always be Creator never let me forget to see myself in all who pass my way.
