It’s Time For A Radical Revolution In Human Relationships!
We mostly tend to believe that empathy, tolerance, compassion,
human sympathy or whatever you may wish to call it, should be reserved for the
people living on the social margins of life, like the poor and destitute of the
society or those who are suffering.
This is necessary and okay but it is not enough!
The Time For Change Is
Here!
We need to look onto each other or one another like family and
have no segregation nor discrimination in the society.
We are our brother’s keeper and as such would look out for him
and only wish and desire things for the good of all in the society.
Cultural, social and racial discrimination should be the thing
of the past because if we truly understand the law of karma and reincarnation
and how it applies to the physical universe and all the universes then we would
realize that we come from the great one source of all life and existence.
We are not different!
We are one and the same!
We Are All One And The
Same!
When we begin to understand this great principle and philosophy
of life we begin to see others and all creatures of the great source of all
life differently and not as separate from us.
We begin to understand empathy and develop empathy for all
creatures and creations of the great source of all life because we understand
that we are beings of light and love and exist because of this great love.
We need to empathize with the people whose beliefs or religious
belief system and faith practices we don’t share, are different from ours or
who may be the perceived “enemies” in some way – one way or another.
Let’s Give Empathy A
Chance!
If you are a campaigner on global world issues or political and
world affairs for
instance, it may be worth it by trying to step into the shoes of these
perceived enemies and offenders like th
e Oil company executives and looking to understanding their
thinking and motivations for doing what they did and have done.
If you want to devise effective strategies to help them shift or
ultimately move them towards developing renewable and sustainable energy, then
a little energy and also a little of the “instrumental empathy” sometimes known
as “impact
anthropology” can go a long way in
achieving this objective.
This also goes a long way in trying to understanding band
eventually curbing terrorism and acts of extreme wickedness like kidnapping,
molestation, armed banditry and other well-known social problems and bringing
them to a halt.
It’s all in the mind!
Empathy For All Life!
Empathizing with adversaries can also help in social tolerance
and acceptance of others, their faith and religious beliefs and their way of
life in general, when we see that as we value our faith and way of life so do
they want the same.
The onus then rests on all to give to others the same that you
seek for yourself because before the great source of all life, all are equal
and stand before it as equals and are loved equally.
None is higher than the other or above the other.
This was Gandhi’s thinking during the conflicts between Muslims
and Hindus leading up to Indian independence in 1947, when he declared, “I am a
Muslim! And a Hindu, and a Christian and a Jew.”
World leaders, corporate leaders and generally organizations and
companies should be ambitious with their empathic thinking. Bill Drayton the
renowned - father of social entrepreneurship, believes that in an era of rapid
technological change and advancement, and that “mastering empathy is the key
business survival skill” because it underpins successful teamwork and
leadership.
His influential Ashoka Foundation has launched the Start Empathy initiative which is taking its ideas to business leaders,
politicians and educators worldwide.
It’s All In The Mind!
The 20th century was the Age of Introspection, when self-help and
therapy culture encouraged people to believe that the best way to understand
who they were and how to live their lives was to look inside themselves wholly
and without any form of bias.
But it left people gazing at their own navels without a clue as
to what they were really meant to search for and understand.
The 21st century and going forward on the other hand, should
become the Age of Empathy and compassion when we discover ourselves not simply
through self-reflection and analysis, but by becoming interested in the lives
of others as well as our own and having ultimate regard for the sanctity of
human life.
Which we seem to have lost and have no clue about!
We need empathy to create a new kind of revolution and existence
of life so that people can begin to see the world as the beauty and
magnificence that it truly is and not the dark, empty void which is so unfair
that they have become accustomed to
Not an old-fashioned revolution built on new laws and conquering
new lands and the likes, or on new institutions, or policies, but a radical
revolution in human relationships.
I
would love to hear from you or your thoughts on this post, please drop us a
line.
In
closing, i believe the wisdom below will serve you in life:
“Thank
you God, for this beautiful day today. Help me to always see your love
reflected in each and every moment, no matter how challenging life may be.
Remind me to always look to my heart for the LESSONS and BLESSINGS in life”.

Voice Dart!
These
words of Inspirations from the enlightened ones will serve you even more:
“I
wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light
of your own being”.
Hafiz
“Within
you is the light of a thousand suns, within you is unimaginable beauty”.
Robert
Adam
“Don’t
you know it yet, it is your light that illuminates the worlds”.
Rumi
“I
am the light of the world. You are the light of the world”.
Jesus
“Your
heart is the light of the world, don’t cover it with your mind”.
Mooji
Taking
responsibility and recognizing that we cause all of our core issues is not a
reality for most people.
Taking
responsibility to see life differently without justification, judgement and
blame, rejection or anxiety, fear or anger would really help you in the long
run.
Every
condition, disease or disorder is a spiritual condition that has come up for
review and to be dealt with and taken care of. Once the lesson is truly learnt
and absorbed, the conditions or situation reverses itself and clears out and
that’s when we say a healing has occurred and a miracle has happened.
Every
problem preludes a negative thought and mindset so watch your thoughts and
emotions carefully and guard them jealously.
Nothing
can stop you if you have the courage, commitment and the discipline to move through
your limitations.
‘Let
yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love’
The
purpose of life is to discover who you really are, know and create yourself and
experience yourself as who you really are (not the body that houses you) as a
part of the divine source to give and receive love and serve all creatures of
the divine.
As
long as you don’t or you refuse to see yourself as a victim then life becomes a
challenge that you can overcome with commitment and consistent work and it will
pay you back handsomely.
A
lesson you avoided in a past life will be forwarded to the current life until
you get the lesson right or understood the reason for it. Each time the lesson
is more intense, than the last experience until you recognize it.
This
is an interactive universe where we all work together in each other’s lessons
and life whether we want it or not or whether we are aware of it or not.
Our
fears always surface when we least expect it and when it does, its better to
face the lesson and conquer it.
You
can take back control of your life and drive it the way you would rather want
it to be and have things and have things the way you want it to be.
It
takes taking responsibility for all the wrongs that have happened in your life
because whether you agree or not, you are held responsible for all your:
1. THOUGHTS
2. WORDS
3. ACTION
Nobody
wants to listen to your cry of wolf or denial or victim mentality and it won’t
take you far except you sit still, take stock of your life and determine and
desire to turn it around and that’s where and when the answers or solutions
come in.
If
and when you are now truly ready to take back control and look out for the
patterns and lessons in your life to understand the mind aberrations that are
causing your problems and have taken control of your life.
That’s
when the creative centers open within and you can finally have the tools to
help you change the course of your life and manifest your destiny.
To
succeed in life, you must refuse to see yourself as a loser no matter what the
prevailing situation or condition might be and you evaluate what you can do to
succeed.
The
most important qualities are self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence and
that you understand that you are entitled to abundance in your life.
You
can do anything you want to and be anything you want to, provided you believe
that it is possible.
Victims
do not hold that belief!
So
ask yourself – are you a victim?
Sometimes
a little help from a Therapist or Mental Health Consultant like myself and a
host of others can help guide you on this journey into an amazing life that is
yours and yours only.
