Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation / Words of Wisdom - May 3, 2020 💌



"The left hand is caught and the right-hand pulls it out. The left-hand turns to the right and says ‘thank you.’ It doesn’t work because they are both parts of the same body. Who are you thanking? You’re thanking yourself. So on that plane, you realize it’s not her suffering, his suffering, or their suffering.
You go up one level, it’s our suffering. You go up another level, it’s my suffering. Then as it gets de-personalized, it’s the suffering. Out of the identity with the suffering comes compassion. It arises in relation to the suffering. It’s part and parcel of the whole package. There is nothing personal in this at all.

In that sense, you have become compassion instead of doing compassionate acts. Instead of being compassionate, you are compassion."

Dr. Benjamin Spock and a child who will, no doubt, Live Long and Prosper
1903 -
The go-to pediatrician BENJAMIN SPOCK was born (d: 1998). Before there was Vulcan "Spock" there was Dr. Spock. His book, Baby and Child Care, published in 1946, is one of the biggest best-sellers of all time. Its revolutionary message to mothers was that "you know more than you think you do."
Spock was an early advocate for the rights of LGBT people. He was also the People's Party candidate in the 1972 United States presidential election on a platform which called for free medical care, the repeal of "victimless crime" laws, including the legalization of abortion, homosexuality, and marijuana, a guaranteed minimum income for families and the immediate withdrawal of all American troops from foreign countries. He died in 1998.

[One] way to think about lovingkindness is as the absence of fear, because when we think of times when lovingkindness is not our first impulse… usually fear is present.
