for the Company who is my brother. it occurred to me that this is most likely the last time we will see each other in this lifetime. Neither of us are much for travel. It's been over 10 years since i went to Minnesota…i am not good at remembering time. And he came here once, maybe 15 years ago? more? Anyway…….not doing a Lot , but just some. He will have little interest in my dust and cob webs. We are the same, like that.
And as i go about, doing the "some", enough to let that higher vibration loose, i've been thinking about what "came through" during those nightime hours last night when i woke. Have been using that time for Tonglen. You can google. Wikipedia. Giving and Taking. It works to find some quiet within the great sorrow for the suffering of so many on this planet today, for those needing to escape but seeing no where to go. for this prevailing toxicity to this country's open heartedness. Tonglen. I need this meditation.
but also, last night, i did fall back asleep after a while, but then woke again to the thought of Empathy. I remembered saying somewhere in one of the comments i think yesterday that there was some of being afraid. Which there is. it comes and goes. so i was "told" to consider Empathy. Not just holding an openness to what another might be experiencing, but to take it Further.
"Empathy: the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other being's frame of reference." wikipedia
the Further, that i was able to see was not just their "frame of reference", but to actually "go INSIDE them". For instance, go INSIDE Alyssia's body with the 5 inch being swimming around and the 7 year old son and the 9 year old foster daughter, being 28 years old.
Not to just look at her, see her as if i am standing in front of her, looking into her face. And not to try to sense myself behind her, looking out, as she might look.
But to see if i can go INSIDE her being, her experience….actually look out through her eyes. Be One with her, imagine her feelings, her impressions.
Am i explaining this in some kind of intelligible way?
it's just a Shift, but an important one.
