Sat Nam,

This week we are working on the fourth Sutra that was given to us for the Aquarian Age; Understand through compassion or you’ll misunderstand the times.

We are taught in yoga that the Piscean Age was all about our individual needs. It created an illusion of division that each of us were separate from each other and nature. The Aquarian Age which we are transitioning into now will be a time when the illusion of division will fall, we will unite as a planet and see that we are all connected to each other. 

The transition into the Aquarian Age was predicted to be full of unrest including, war, disease, climate issues and a huge backlash to peace as the planet rises to unite as one.  We are seeing this very clearly now.

So why was this Sutra given to us?  Compassion comes from the heart. It connects us to every living being. It unites us.  

Understanding through compassion never include the words “but”, “what about”, “at least”, “you shouldn’t have” nor does compassion try to belittle, condescend, or try to fix.  

Compassion says “l’m sorry for your pain”, “I feel your pain”, “I see you”, “l hear you” and “I’m standing with you”.  

What I’m seeing right now in the world troubles me greatly.  There is a tidal wave of hate, division and selective compassion, where one group of people, or a certain human being is deemed more worthy of compassion than another.  

When one person is experiencing a huge amount of trauma and pain and people feel the need to say yes that’s sad but what about or worse they don’t deserve compassion because someone else is worse off? This is not compassion.  Selective compassion equals lack of compassion because compassion doesn’t discriminate, disregard someone’s pain as not being worthy or diminish the pain of one person by highlighting the pain of another.  

Selective compassion and humanitarianism is a cancer on all of humanity.

These times are about uniting us as a planet and as in all growth there is polarity in order for us to learn.  The lack of compassion, the hate and division we are now seeing is that polarity and we have a choice to go jump on a trending bandwagon or ask ourselves “what kind of human being do I want to be?”.  

If it’s one that wants a planet of peace and a connected humanity then understanding through compassion is the first step. 

Compassion connects us to each other, like oxygen we need it to survive. 

I wrote this a year ago and it is even more prevalent today than it was back then.  

I’ll add this, compassion comes from the heart, not the ego and it starts with you, having compassion for all of you, the good the bad and the sometimes ugly.  

As humans we can be our own worst critics or enemies having self talk that cuts us down, diminishing or avoiding our own pain.  Some people berate themselves for their own behaviour without working to heal the pain that is underneath that caused that behaviour.  

Some people project their our own self hate and anger onto others instead of looking within to heal what is causing it. 

Everything we feel for others starts with ourselves.  If we can open our hearts to ourselves and heal our own trauma, we in turn can then open our hearts to others and see that all living beings suffering deserve compassion. It all starts with us as individuals. 

As the saying goes, “Be the change you want to see in the world”.
