One of my favorite poems by the poet Rumi is:
Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about
ideas and language.
Even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make any sense.

Clearly we live in a world where it’s important to discern right from wrong, good from bad, up from down. However, our humanity can lead us to fear that which we discern as wrong. Fears can turn healthy discernment into harsh judgments that drive wedges of separation deeper than they need to be.
Fears take us farther away from the ability to understand and find truth.
What takes us back to love? Compassion.
Compassion is the passageway through which we can travel between the world of duality or multiplicity, and the world of unity – one unconditional love – a love that exists regardless of conditions, regardless of what we do or do not do. A love that encompasses everything.
This is the love that every human being knows in the heart. Each of us yearns to return to experience the subsistence in that existence of unconditional love.
Think for a minute what that would mean to “be” in a state of love with no conditions. No worries, no fears, only love.
It’s the true essence of the ocean of love we live in.
From the 10 Foundational Principles of Spiritual Healing, #10 is “The Ocean of Love contains all; nothing exists except within the larger container of Love.”
Join us Sunday for a swim in the ocean?
Starting with this Sunday’s Community for Conscious Living weekly broadcasts, we’ll begin a 3-part series on Compassion.
- Part 1 – Compassion of the Heart – Sept 18
- Part 2 – Compassion of the Womb – Sept 25
- Part 3 – Compassion of the Earth – Oct 2
Compassion is known as the bridge between the worlds. In this series, we’ll be journeying along the pathways of compassion from the heavens to the earth to heaven on earth.
