Episode 305: Compassion vs. Pity


Listen Later

In this episode, we take a deep dive into two critical concepts: compassion and pity—and why understanding the difference between them is essential for your spiritual journey. On the surface, these two ideas may seem similar. Both involve recognizing someone else's suffering and taking action, but the energy and vibration behind them are completely different. Brothers, this is where the real work begins.


Let’s break it down. Compassion comes from love, unity, and an understanding of the oneness of all beings. It recognizes that suffering is a projection of the mind—an illusion. When you see someone experiencing pain, you know it’s just a story they are telling themselves, just like the stories you tell yourself. Compassion isn’t about agreeing with the story; it’s about seeing the deeper truth. When you act out of compassion, you’re acting from a place of love. You help because you know that everything is connected, and by uplifting someone else, you uplift yourself. There’s no fear involved. It’s pure love. It's knowing that the person you’re helping is just another version of you, another aspect of the oneness we all share.


Now, contrast that with pity. Pity comes from fear. You see someone suffering, and your mind immediately projects onto them, thinking, “I don’t want that to be me.” Pity stems from the fear that you might end up like the person you're helping. So you act, but your action is driven by fear, not love. You believe in the illusion of their suffering, and by believing it, you reinforce it. It’s still action, but it's not coming from the highest place. And brothers, if you’re acting out of fear, you’re still trapped in the lower vibration of the third dimension. You're reacting to the illusion instead of rising above it.


This distinction is crucial, not just in how we interact with others, but also in how we treat ourselves. Are you practicing self-compassion or self-pity? When you’re in self-pity, you’re telling yourself a fear-based story, feeding into the illusion that you’re not where you need to be, or that you’re not enough. But when you practice self-compassion, you acknowledge where you are with love. You recognize that, yes, maybe you made a mistake, but that’s part of the process. It’s part of the illusion. There’s no fear in self-compassion, only love and growth.


Throughout this episode, I challenge you to examine the root of your actions. Are you acting from love or from fear? Are you truly in compassion, or are you coming from a place of pity? This is the deep work, brothers—the spiritual practice of elevating your vibration, of shifting from fear-based action to love-based action. It’s easy to think you're being compassionate, but if there’s any fear involved, you're still stuck in pity.


Remember, we are spiritual beings having a human experience, not the other way around. The world as we know it is not as it seems. It’s time to wake up, elevate your mind, and elevate your alpha. When you can act from a place of true compassion, both toward others and yourself, that’s when you break free from the illusion and step into your true power.
