Why We Cannot Fix Heartlessness With More Heartlessness! Giving Compassion A Chance To Change The World.

Social media has a great capacity to reveal to us the patterns we hold in the collective psyche of the world. One of the very common ones it that when there is a story of harm and evil being done to others, it is common for a majority of commenters (if the story is, say a public video) to then go ahead and wish harm and suffering onto the one who caused the evil and harm. Can we really solve the problem of evil, harm and heartlessness by adding more?

This is a topic that I find requires us to share an understanding of certain words for me to be able to fully explain my understandings.. so

Some Definitions

---

Compassion

Compassion is a deep awareness of suffering and an intention to take action to heal that suffering. In short, compassion is the difference between making life harder and making life better for all. A compassionate soul will seek to find the real way to heal and help others, rather than ignoring them or compromising.

Pain

Pain is a signal that lets us know we are exceeding a personal limitation. If we bend our finger too far back we feel it since our body has limits. If we are pushed around at school too much we might feel an emotional and psychological pain there too.

Suffering

Suffering is the experiencing of things that we really don't want or need to experience. On the light end of the spectrum it is true to say that we suffer to a small degree just from smelling something foul that we don't prefer. On the extreme opposite end suffering takes many forms that are extremely painful and which need to be corrected immediately before death occurs.

Heart

We all have hearts that are part of our blood circulatory system. The heart ensures a balanced supply of oxygen and nutrients can reach the rest of our physical body and so we stay alive and healthy. However, we also have an awareness that the heart is more than just a pump. The heart is the largest electromagnetic physical organ in the body and it has a large field to go along with it. We feel with our heart and can think with our heart too - although some deny this so intensely that they are numb there and have no idea of what they have lost.

In French, the word cœur means 'heart' and it is the root of the English word 'courage' - this is because when our heart is balancing our thoughts and emotions we are powerful and able to create passionately what needs to be created.

Heartlessness

The opposite to heart is heartlessness. When we are heartless, we still have a physical heart, but we are not strong in our heart. Heartlessness is a literal disconnection of thoughts from feelings and so we end up with psychopathic thoughts that lack empathic and intuitive understandings, plus maybe we will also experience feelings that are unguided and out of balance too.

Heartlessness needs to heal now

When we look around our planet, we see wars, famine, massive wealth gaps, exploitation, literal enslavement, non sensual experimentation, factory farms and the lists of evils go on and on. On top of all of this we see comments on social media that reflect the state of injury that permeates the psyche of many humans where instead of compassionately recognising the suffering of others as a call to correct action, the commenters appear to be excited by the suffering - gaining a reversed stimulation from it. It is not uncommon for people to almost randomly wish 'cancer' on people they have never met and other such heartless curses.

Those of us who can still feel and who choose life will know very well that heartlessness always causes death in those who embody it eventually, one way or another - and yet they reject loving help since for them love is 'backwards'. This is the big challenge we face here and which needs to be understood deeply now.

When we encounter heartless beings some of us will try to help them and find that they themselves don't want to be helped. Others of us will see them as a threat and will seek to attack and destroy them.

Heartlessness needs to be allowed to go

---

We cannot destroy heartlessness through violence - since our destruction is itself heartless towards whatever aspects of the beings involved are still feeling and alive; plus we are felt to be promoting out of balance heartlessness. We cannot heal a monster by becoming one. If we destroy things we don't like without fully understanding them, we do not address them at their root cause and they only change form and appear again later in ways we may not be ready for.

In some cases heartlessness can be healed through processes of emotional healing and personal enlightenment, but it requires the intention of the individual to be aligned towards that personal destiny and is not something that can be done 'by' someone else.

So what do we do when we hear about heartless evil being perpetuated? If we cannot 'win' by destroying them and we cannot force them to heal - what are the solutions?

Each case is unique, however, the absolute need is for increased awareness among everyone so that we can identify and feel the presence of heartlessness, can heal our own and can then make more balanced decisions as a result. Once we have a sense of what heartlessness feels like and how it manifests, we can begin to find ways to solve our problems that really work.

A compassionate heart will not seek to belittle, blame, judge, attack or struggle with anyone - it will guide us to take appropriate action - which might take a variety of forms, from simply moving away, through to whatever else is required. Typically, our mind will jump to it's programming to think that 'evil must be destroyed' - so let's look at an extreme example..

How does a compassionate heart deal with a violent terrorist?

---

Compassion seeks to end suffering, so in cases where violence is imminent, we need to quickly assess the situation to determine what will end suffering the most effectively. Some religions present the idea that even in cases where innocents are going to be killed, we must not stoop to violence to stop the killing. I don't actually agree with that, but I accept that it is a huge challenge to know what is right in every case.

If I have an option of killing one person who is about to kill 100 people - then many would say it is my duty to do that. Compassion, paradoxically, might mean actually doing that - however, importantly, the compassionate option will ALWAYS seek alternatives first and NEVER just take the lazy option of killing first and asking questions later. Every situation has a cause and it is through finding the causes of experiences that we can change them directly. It may not be possible to know the entire background of a violent terrorist, but we can make a significant effort to understand the general patterns in society at a deep enough level that we can address the real causes before anyone new gets drawn towards violence.

Failing to plan is planning to fail!


This applies not just to projects but also to healing society! If we don't take steps to address the root causes of violent terrorism and other forms of heartlessness, then we should not be surprised when we see it in life. There are obviously extreme tensions and discomfort in life for many people that cause them to turn to violence. Why do these exist? It is not enough to just blame someone else - how are we individually (whether deliberately or not) participating in creating the situations that lead some to become violent?

Many people prefer to ignore such questions making rationalisations that are intended to excuse them from responsibility such as 'Life is simple, you are overcomplicating things' or 'It can't be my responsibility if someone else becomes violent who i have never met'... But neither of these are true. Life IS complicated and this is obvious - if life were simple we would not have any problems now would we?

Everything is connected and if someone in the human family is triggered into violence, then that may very well be connected causally back to us in some way, despite our best efforts to not be involved in such things. For example, the corrupt governments often start criminal wars and target civilians in the name of 'enduring freedom' or some other such buzzword/slogan - they cause unjust devastation around the world and make many people enraged - then call the people terrorists when they try to defend themselves. Yes, there are really evil terrorists, but many are just farmers and 'average guys' who saw their families killed and who seek to do something, whatever they can, to end the threat. Their violent acts are heartless and so it falls to us to have the heart and courage to make changes so that they never get forced into the position of feeling so threatened in the first place.

How can we do that? We are all very creative and unique beings who can all come up with many answers to that - but one angle on this is that exposed in my long running whistleblower series - whereby secret service and political whistleblowers demonstrated that war is illegal in Britain, for example - despite a complete denial of this reality - and it is therefore illegal to pay taxes to a government that starts wars.

Some might think it is far less courageous in some senses to just not pay taxes than it is to get in a tank and go to try to kill people - and yet it IS courageous to do so and it IS an effective and peaceful way to stop evil and force some of those who cause evil to change tactics at least.

Completely healing the viral manifestations of heartlessness is a complex journey with many twists and turns, yet it must be done now - let us have a new courage!
