Are you witnessing and supporting others accurately? Mostly, we cannot completely and totally see others in their entirety at zero point beyond space and time because we are so distracted by our physical world and own needs; however, we can accept people as they are. This requires a greater level of honesty and self-awareness than we might at first glance, enjoy. Without self-awareness we hide from others as much as we hide from ourselves. For me to accept myself I must accept my most embarassing moments, my trials and tribulations. How do I feel about it? I feel embarassed by my life and the sadness of the cultures I was raised in. I am in a world where child abuse, oppression and objectification of women through rape/murder culture, addiction, exploitation, poverty pollution, corporate exploitation and genocide are an intimate fabric of our history. The more I get close to my community and this reality the sadder it all can seem. How can I possibly understand where to start and how to help? How do I exit the cycle of violence by having real compassion and forgiveness for the rapists, murderers and cannibals. If we just kill them all are we not just as bad as them? What helps me is to see and feel the inspired self that lives within everyone. It is this spirit of self-love within the heart that wants to beat, to love, to help others and enjoy life. Everyone has this quality... this innate desire to be here, even the most hardened criminals. If we follow this self-love, this selfishness all the way through to its most extreme end, it doubles back on itself like a toroidal sphere or oroborous. We find, in extreme selfishness the greatest good for ourselves lies within the actions of caring for and preserving others. When we act to preserve other races, cultures, species, plants and ecosystems we are actually preserving the diversity of the living library of goods and services and sentience. This living library is, when in balance an absolute repository of consciousness developing itself in unique, elaborate and incredibly helpful ways.
