There are a couple of ways to look at compassion. The Western way derives the word "compassion" from the Latin word "compassio" meaning "suffering with", but the Buddhist or Eastern way of understanding compassion defines the word to be more like "loving kindness".
In the midst of the "terrible trifecta" of pandemic, economic turmoil, and racial tensions, it's more important than ever to take care of ourselves and to honor ourselves.
Dan came up with today's show title after some experiences with people in a Facebook group he's in, and it led to a discussion of racial tensions in America today.
We begin today by talking about "spiritual bypassing" with Cindie mentioning people who only want to feel positive emotions and block themselves off from anything even slightly negative, while Walt takes the opposite tack by identifying people who accuse others of "spiritual bypassing" because they're not joining in on staying in the anger that the accuser is emoting.
Now there are three major challenges going on in America today: the pandemic, the crashed economy, and racial tensions. We really need to reverse the vibe!
We break with precedent and spend a little time focusing attention on racial tensions in America. Louis joins us a few minutes later, and we shift to the main topic, which Louis places at among the highest vibrational levels.
We often talk about various strategies to get into that high-flying place. Sometimes, the universe makes it easy on us. The weather we've experienced in the Northeastern part of the U.S. the past few days illustrates this perfectly.
We start off today with a couple stories that demonstrate the benefits involved in not worrying about how something is going to happen, and the episode evolves into a really impactful discussion about the personal power that we all have that we can either use or abandon. We also address some really good questions from our livestream audience.
Walt brings up the idea of adding some kind of game or game show to the LOA Today schedule.
