Dni: - me - my shadow - my reflection - anything that moves

[richelle-goodrich]

I look in the mirror and see myself, and yet I really don’t. Only an image is perceived, not things I will or things I won’t. Ideas in my mind I cannot see. No glimpse of how I feel. Shreds of emotion shape my gaze, but depth, the mirror will not reveal. I see my reflection colored in, my hair, my skin, my eyes. Hues in my heart and shades of thought remain unlit by fire or skies. I smile at the mirror and watch it grin, hasty to copy me, but who I am ‘twill never know. Mirrors don’t reflect identities.

Empathy, compassion and kindness Differences, their immense absence in current human life & why they are important in terms of Planetary Transition 🌎✨

Empathy is feeling Compassion is action Kindness is doing something to alleviate the pain, discomfort, or suffering of others.

It is valuable and important to cultivate these skills within ourselves. Not everyone has them sharpened.

They are not automatic, as they require something from us: the interest to act in such a way. We are beings of pure free will!

However, we live running away from what makes us common, from what is simple, but what we have complicated more and more each day: the fact that we all feel, that we all need kindness, empathy, and compassion.

Empathy,

which is totally different from kindness and compassion, has even been more talked about nowadays, but talking is not the same as doing. Talking is good for reflecting, remembering that this exists, but doing only depends on us.

May this concept, so basic and precious, not be forgotten and trivialized.

May it not just be spoken, like a label to be called "empathetic," but rather as a practice, something that is part of your life, naturally.

Especially compassion,

which goes beyond empathy and is what we need most nowadays. But empathy, the most basic feeling, which "comes before" compassion (action), is still lacking.

There are common feelings to all of us, which are experienced in different ways, in different intensities, but are felt by all of us at some point in our existence. Fear, anger, sadness, anxiety, love. We are equal in essence. We go through extremely similar processes.

But why do we shy away from the empathetic gaze?

Why do we believe so much in the idea of individualism and separation? Why does the negative Ego still take hold of us?

And we do this more and more every day, despite being social beings, beings who need (balanced) exchanges, beings who need others for their evolution, through learning, experience, and so on.

Planetary Transition 🌎✨

In the end, we are going through a transition of planetary dimension. The Earth of the 3rd dimension will no longer exist, giving way to the existence of the Earth of the 5th dimension - the 4th dimension is one in which we already (co)exist, as it encompasses the astral part of our existence.

The essence of the 5th dimension lies in the interest to evolve, to seek consciousness, and to do so with the clear intention of RECONNECTING with others, striving to develop love and empathy. Even if you haven't achieved it yet, the interest and the pursuit define a Being ready for a life in the 5th dimension.

And because of this, which is already happening and is an evolutionary process of Mother Earth and all of us, the sooner we evolve, the better it will be for ourselves.

Stagnation is a choice, but it will have its consequences because our path has ALWAYS been one of evolution!

No soul is born without its greater will to evolve. It is the negative choices that take us off this path (a lengthy, deep, and evidence-filled subject; I'll bring more on this another time).

We do not live without anyone. The end of human beings is conscious and loving living in a GROUP! But for that, empathy is the most basic.

And at every moment someone is by our side. But we don't see it.

I strongly believe that empathy is the most basic thing for our lives, but it is quite clear that every day we practice non-empathy more and more, distancing ourselves from our fellow human beings - and I am not only talking about those close to you, whom you theoretically relate to.

Since our neural circuits linked to kindness, empathy, and compassion need to be trained and can be stimulated, it is up to us to stimulate this… do you agree?

Have you been stimulating this?
