Notice Board for this Area

Nothing to post for this area as yet.  In the meantime here is an extract from one of my favorite books "The Power of Now".

Is that what compassion is?

Yes. Compassion is the awareness of a deep bond between yourself and all creatures. But there are two sides to compassion two sides to this bond. On the one hand since you are still here as a physical body you share the vulnerability and mortality of your physical form with every other human and with every living being. Next time you say "I have nothing in common with this person remember that you have a great deal in common: A few years from now - two years or seventy years it doesn't make much difference - both of you will have become rotting corpses then piles of dust then nothing at all. This is a sobering and humbling realization that leaves little room for pride. Is this a negative thought? No it is a fact. Why close your eyes to it? In that sense there is total equality between you and every other creature. One of the most powerful spiritual practices is to meditate deeply on the mortality of physical forms including your own. This is called: Die before you die. Go into it deeply. Your physical form is dissolving is no more. Then a moment comes when all mind-forms or thoughts also die. Yet you are still there - the divine presence that you are. Radiant fully awake. Nothing that was real ever died only names forms and illusions. The realization of this deathless dimension your true nature is the other side of compassion. On a deep feeling-level you now recognize not only your own immortality but through your own that of every other creature as well. On the level of form you share mortality and the precariousness of existence. On the level of Being you share eternal radiant life. These are the two aspects of compassion. In compassion the seemingly opposite feelings of sadness and joy merge into one and become transmuted into a deep inner peace. This is the peace of God. It is one of the most noble feelings that humans are capable of and it has great healing and transformative power. But true compassion as I have just described it is as yet rare. To have deep empathy for the suffering of another being certainly requires a high degree of consciousness but represents only one side of compassion. It is not complete. True compassion goes beyond empathy or sympathy. It does not happen until sadness merges with joy the joy of Being beyond form the joy of eternal life.

Toward A Different Order Of Reality

I don't agree that the body needs to die. I am convinced that we can achieve physical immortality. We believe in death and that's why the body dies.

The body does not die because you believe in death. The body exists or seems to because you believe in death. Body and death are part of the same illusion created by the egoic mode of consciousness which has no awareness of the Source of life and sees itself as separate and constantly under threat. So it creates the illusion that you are a body a dense physical vehicle that is constantly under threat. To perceive yourself as a vulnerable body that was born and a little later dies - that's the illusion. Body and death: one illusion. You cannot have one without the other. You want to keep one side of the illusion and get rid of the other but that is impossible. Either you keep all of it or you relinquish all of it. However you cannot escape from the body nor do you have to. The body is an incredible misperception of your true nature. But your true nature is concealed somewhere within that illusion not outside it so the body is still the only point of access to it. If you saw an angel but mistook it for a stone statue all you would have to do is adjust your vision and look more closely at the stone statue not start looking somewhere else. You would then find that there never was a stone statue.

If belief in death creates the body why does an animal have a body? An animal doesn't have an ego and it doesn't believe in death....

Then there is the very large class of casual clairvoyant visions which have no traceable cause - which are apparently quite meaningless and have no recognizable relation to any events known to the seer. To this class belong many of the landscapes seen by some people just before they fall asleep. I quote a capital and very realistic account of an experience of this sort from W.T.Stead's Real Ghost Stories (page 65).

"I got into bed but was not able to go to sleep I shut my eyes and waited for sleep to come; instead of sleep however there came to me a succession of [Page 84] curiously vivid clairvoyant pictures. There was no light in the room and it was perfectly dark; I had my eyes shut also. But notwithstanding the darkness I suddenly was conscious of looking at a scene of singular beauty. It was as if I saw a living miniature about the size of a magic-lantern slide. At this moment I can recall the scene as if I saw it again. It was a seaside piece. The moon was shining upon the water which rippled slowly on to the beach. Right before me a long mole ran into the water.

"On either side of the mole irregular rocks stood up above the sea-level. On the shore stood several houses square and rude which resembled nothing that I had ever seen in house architecture. No one was stirring but the moon was there and the sea and the gleam of the moonlight on the rippling waters just as if I had been looking on the actual scene.

"It was so beautiful that I remember thinking that if it continued I should be so interested in looking at it that I should never go to sleep. I was wide awake and at the same time that I saw the scene I distinctly heard the dripping of the rain outside the window. Then suddenly without any apparent object or reason the scene changed.

"The moonlit sea vanished and in its place I was looking right into the interior of a reading-room. It seemed as if it had been used as a schoolroom in the daytime and was employed as a reading-room in the evening. I remember seeing one reader who had a curious resemble to Tim Harrington although it [Page 85] was not he hold up a magazine or book in his hand and laugh. It was not a picture - it was there.

"The scene was just as if you were looking through an opera-glass; you saw the play of the muscles the gleaming of the eye every movement of the unknown persons in the unnamed place into which you were gazing. I saw all that without opening my eyes nor did my eyes have anything to do with it. You see such things as these as it were with another sense which is more inside your head than in your eyes.

"This was a very poor and paltry experience but it enabled me to understand better how it is that clairvoyants see than any amount of disquisition.
