Empathy is an awareness of the emotional experiences of others. Compassion is a heartfelt concern for the suffering of others, together with being motivated to relieve that suffering. Without these capacities, the reasons for forgiveness seem less compelling than they are.
Fortunately, there is an aspect of consciousness built into every person that can be consulted on such matters. It is called the higher self.
The feelings and intentions of the higher self are always consistent with love.
The consciousness of a person's higher self is characterized by emotional associations and implications within thoughts. The higher self can observe, reason, conclude, wish, and pray while feeling the meaning.
Destructive feelings work against being in your higher self.
With the help of your higher self, destructive reactions and feelings can be purged; the involuntary recall of memories that disturb you can be stopped; you can find it in your heart to forgive; and tranquility can be achieved.
If you decide that knowing yourself is important to you, then your higher self can provide insights about yourself.
There is no ego in the higher self.
Everybody has a higher self. Its existence in you does not depend on your religious and spiritual beliefs. Even criminals of all kinds have experiences in their higher self. It may happen when they sympathize, or love, or help people because of their concern for them.
Policies and behavior are perfected by caring about the wellbeing and happiness of every person.
Forgiveness of yourself and the others will lead to joyful peace.
Facing misfortune and threats with tranquility is its own reward, as is living without resentment and without the other destructive feelings. Tranquility does not reduce the likelihood of rational solutions, but fear and anger both do exactly that. If you reflect on all you know about how people get to be the way they are, hatred and anger increasingly feel inappropriate. If you live in your higher self, you will soon consciously care about the wellbeing and happiness of everybody, and you will never intend any harm.
As mentioned earlier, our language, in some cases, has been manipulated by those who are ill-motivated and misled. Courage is not always in service to a worthy goal. Being willing to take risks exclusively for self-serving purposes can be inconsistent with your love of humanity.
The first step toward corresponding with your higher self is corresponding with yourself. You must want to know yourself without reservations, and without turning away from the full truth.
You can be effective in countering unfortunate circumstances if you have mastered tranquility and live in your higher self. All of your feelings and intentions are then consistent with love. Your higher self can think about unfortunate circumstances with the purpose of discovering solutions consistent with love and compassion.
What is your identity? It would be helpful to consider your values and your understanding of yourself in some detail in order to plan for happiness and tranquility.
Resentment, fear, envy, anger, revenge, blame, hate, hostility, arrogance, selfishness, and the desire to control others have all motivated violence. Purging anger and all other destructive feelings is greatly aided by removing violence from your heart.
If you believe in goodness, you never intend any harm; you love humanity and yourself; you strive to understand how people get to be the way they are; you forgive yourself and others; you have empathy and compassion; you are courageous in the service of worthy goals; and you strive to find and speak the truth.
If your family or friends notice welcome changes in you and ask about it, you might reply with a statement somewhat like this:
I believe in goodness. I never intend any harm. I love humanity and myself. I strive to understand how people get to be the way they are. I forgive myself and others. I have empathy and compassion. I am courageous in service of worthy goals. I strive to find and speak the truth. I am at peace.
Living in your higher self, your empathy and compassion become more frequent. Your higher self ceases to be something you try to experience, and instead, it becomes what you are.
We are a spirit - a soul - expressing itself in a body. The soul is the higher self.
