continued----empathy and intuition

Someday I am going to get computers, technology, energy, relationship between me and the energy of the universe, figured out. I was typing along just fine and hit something or other that posted my blog entry and I had only just begun. Maybe the universe was warning me that I had said enough. However, my very own little inner, albeit quiet, angel is telling me it is just fine to continue. Good.

We are all (ALL!) born with the ability to be empathic. We are all born whole, fully alive, creative, little spontaneous creatures who absolutely have the ability to love. Empathy is more than love. It is not self identifying. It is heart and soul felt understanding of another's position. Agreeing is not important. Understanding is. It is connecting spiritually and wisely with the knowing that my friend in the Iranian prison is held captive by people (probably men) who are frightened and have turned their own fear into aggression.

Fear and love. The only two emotions. All comes from fear of love. Empathy is understanding that and getting, that if I lived the life you have life and see the world the way you currently see it, I might very well feel or do the very same thing I am faulting you for doing. Early on, in infancy, most of us loose our ability for empathy because our natural spiritual connection and our original trust that we are safe and loved, has been severed. Our fear of annihilation and our desire for survival is so strong that we cut off connection with other, and focus on survival of self.

This should have titled: Empathy. I don't want to talk about intuition right now. More later.

I have recently learned how difficult and annoying it is to respond to a blog entry. Please email me, it is so much simpler. clo.nancy@sympatico.ca I want to know if I am making any sense and if anybody is reading these entries. Warmly, for now, Nancy Ross
