ACPS #4: rediscovering Compassion (09/22/10)

Class #4 began by answering some questions related to Week 3 materials & concepts (on Gratitude), including …

… personal emPowerment,

… the difference between being Grateful and being merely “happy”, and

… the practical effects of Oneness (“piercing the veil of duality” — what some call enlightenment).

Thereafter, the rest of the evening looked into the deeper implications of Compassion — both in relation to how we can enliven it, as well as what we can expect once we do so.

The class concluded with a hands-on (& hearts-On) exercise that allowed all those present to experience first-hand how it feels to transcend the conventional definitions of kindness and perceive Compassion in one of its purest and most potent forms.

Compassion is actively caring for another.
