Empathy, Compassion, Love, and Healing

The following message comes from Dr. Deepak Chopra about empathy, love, and healing.

One of the most powerful way for spiritual growth is to change the way we perceive the world around us.  By learning how to accommodate another person's perspective, we remove our person's blinder, expand our view about the world.  Rather seeing ourselves in the world, the world is actually part of us.

Look at some stranger and talk to ourselves.  Like me, that person has moments of joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure.  Like me, that person has moment of difficulty, and dream to fulfill.  Like me, that person is loved by someone, yet has relation problems with other. Like me, that person will die someday.

By experiencing other people's sorrow and joy, we are expressing compassion.  With the blood of compassion, we are un-descending. With the blood of compassion and un-descending, we receive and offer love.  When there is love,  there is healing.
