I was listening to BK Shivani today and once again she said something I had never thought about. We have compassion for physical and mental illness. We need to cultivate compassion for emotional illness. What is emotional illness? Anger, fear, irritation, jealousy, doubt, worry — these are all illnesses which don’t allow a person to be “normal”. But when someone is going through this, we shouldn’t question it, because we get sucked into their emotional pain. To have true compassion, we must be in a state of mind which is pure, positive energy. It’s easy for us to fall into their lower frequency, but if we stay with higher vibrational energy, they will match it. I remember talking to a woman one day who told me she had a twin sister who was having a surgical procedure that day. She told me she was feeling her sister’s pain. I asked her if she thought she could send her sister calm, assertive energy, rather than receiving agitated fear. She liked that idea. Next time you’re with someone who is upset, experiment and see if you can spread joyous peace in place of whatever is being projected. Namaste…
“Mortal thought transmits its own images, and forms its offspring after human illusions. God, Spirit, works spiritually, not materially. Brain or matter never formed a human concept. Vibration is not intelligence; hence it is not a creator. Immortal ideas, pure, perfect, and enduring, are transmitted by the divine Mind through divine Science, which corrects error with truth and demands spiritual thoughts, divine concepts, to the end that they may produce harmonious results.”

“It is hard to recognize that thought and belief combine into a power surge that can literally move mountains. It appears at first glance that to believe such power about yourself is arrogant, but that is not the real reason you do not believe it. You prefer to believe that your thoughts cannot exert real influence because you are actually afraid of them. This may allay awareness of the guilt, but at the cost of perceiving the mind as impotent. If you believe that what you think is ineffectual you may cease to be afraid of it, but you are hardly likely to respect it. There are no idle thoughts. All thinking produces form at some level.”
