You have created a certain program for yourself through your thoughts.
There is a much greater reason that you are experiencing what you are experiencing. You are in charge of this. You are learning things about yourself on a much greater level. Please 'be' compassionate with yourself. Your thoughts about how the world 'should' be are separating you from the experience of what is in front of you. Are you spending time with anger, fear, anxiety or yourself, your loved ones? When we spend time with negative emotions we create separation. We are each in charge of what we creat in our minds. It is not up to someone, something else to decide for us. This too, creates the idea of separateness when we choose to think it is up to something else to 'make us' feel cared about, create our safety net, and so on.
When we choose to see in others, what we would look down upon, this choice creates a separation within self.

You have created a certain program for yourself through your thoughts. For example if you were to say "...but if I let him/her down I will die for it." How will this serve you or a loved one? Turn that energy around. You can do it! You may be at this time, telling yourself you are weak and separated - ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE IT. What you believe in becomes your reality. Fear or love/compassion.
During our time of learning our spirit-self works with us. We sometimes do feel separate so we can produce the mirror-effect to see ourselves through. That does NOT mean that this is THE truth. It may be A truth. THE truth is that you are loved beyond measure.
What cover do any of us offer ourselves when we create a war within ourselves?
Anyone who aspires to be their spiritual self, no matter how brilliant, can never attain knowledge on his own for the trying of it. This is because we experience the humanity of the mind. We know what we know. Our emotions assist us in clinging to what we have been taught-thought to recall. We are each sentimental about our taught-thoughts even as we choose to not like them.
When we live in the past or the future, instead of the present moment, we can only know what we have already known. There is no room for growth. We crush the present moment with the past or the future. What thoughts do you create and believe in, that threaten you? Isn't this the manifestation of the mirror of war? We can hope, yet where is the hope if the future moment we aspire to is covered by the blanket of the past?
This reminds me of young children overheard playing in innocence. Children were pretending to be at war. One said to his brother, "Cover me I'm going in...." His younger brother offered him what he knew about at the time. He offered him a cover of a different kind. He said, "I have a blanket in my backback." What cover do any of us offer ourselves when we create war within ourselves? What does the ego offer? Separation or togetherness?
When we see ourselves we see what we have created to see all others as and through.
We cannot get away from this creation we have made in our minds through the doing of it. It is through the being within that we connect with the highest good. When we connect with our hearts, our spirit-self and the higher good of all, through the present moment, we become this peaceful, blissful space.
One cannot attain spritual knowledge by performing acts of renunciation, sacrifices, study, worship or penance. Through the laying ourselves down; letting go of ego, we learn the higher aspects of human life. The 'doing' is not the 'being.' Who are you being while you are doing? How do we learn to serve as 'being' our spiritual selves, if the ego is involved and overtakes our heart? Do we do to receive? Yes, we can do this. When we say, "I will do this for you and your owe me," we set that path in motion through the ego.
We can choose to compassionately do something to receive within ourselves the knowledge that we did what we did for the greater good of humanity, which includes self. This is a mirror. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the greatest of them all? We are. All are. We see our humanity and our spiritual selves through the mirror we create. When we see ourselves we see what we have created to see all others as and through. Our fears delegate this. We may choose to manifest through our fears. Do your fears lead you? We achieve nothing when we do what ever it is we do, to only receive for ourselves. Even as we believe we are doing for the greater good, when we are not willing to let it all go, which we all will eventually do anyway, we are really saying we are addicted to what we are doing and are in need of it, which is fear-based.
Look passed the self-made mirror. Allow your spirit-self to manifest through you. Not the doing but the being. Not the ego but the compassionate heart. Not putting yourself in harms way. Being the compassion for self and others. Let go of what others are doing. Being heart-centered is not injuring yourself or others. It is seeing the divinity in all made manifest, including self.

Thank you for your thoughts about this Michele. That's another one of my struggles, being able to be compassionate to and for others, but not myself. It's hard work, like you said, it's a process! :)
