“The human being is that space in which the comprehensive compassion that pervades the universe from the very beginning now begins to surface –within consciousness.(As compared with the natural displays of compassion by other creatures that is not necessarily ‘within consciousness.’) That’s the only difference. We didn’t create compassion, but it’s flowing through us-or it could. The phase change that we’re in seems, to me, to depend upon that comprehensive compassion unfurling in the human species.”
Brian Swimme, coauthor with Thomas Berry of The Universe Story
We are on the brink of a collective breakthrough in the evolution of consciousness. What allows for that breakthrough is that we have become aware of being aware and we are realizing that we have the power of choice. It is this conscious choice that will determine if we are to have an evolutionary bounce or crash. Having taken hold of the reins of the beast we must now train him to use this power with wisdom and compassion. How will you train the beast today? Do you realize that the reins are in your hands? How will you let compassion flow through you today? Let’s choose this life affirming power of conscious compassion today…
May our hearts melt open in the fires of our deep compassion…
