Anyway, thinking about the others is to think about ourself as well.

Heyy..
what do I do when I feel depressed after listening to people and their woes..especially of people who unconsciously/habitually seem to exaggerate their misery and make it appear that there can be no way out...

Thanks, Richard. Last weekend I was trying to understand why something that EVERYONE in a workshop situation thought was absolutely beautiful, was not considered to be beautiful by the creator. I asked a question and the answer I received explained it to me...her life was out of control (deaths, illness, job loss) and she had hoped to have complete and utter control over what she was creating. However, it was an impossible medium to have that kind of control. It helped me. I'm not sure it helped her. (Though it did help the workshop presenter who felt badly that the participant was dissatisfied.)

Be well. Be Peace!

I have been doing this exercise (or it's been doing me) for so long that recently, when stopped as I sometimes am by strangers askin whether I give readings, I was challenged by a passerby to tell him something about his future right then. "Oh, sure," my little logical demon thought to/for me. "I'm going to tell you your future standing right here on the sidewalk without benefit of any sort of divinatory tools whatsoever, without even sitting down? I don't think so." A nasty little money-oriented voice reminded me: "Answer this man's question here and now, lose a potential paying customer..."

But, having made a lifetime as a poet and channel in pursuit of the ability to reveal the highest truth available in any situation on request, I have never yet failed to provide it when asked. "Besides," a much more courageous inner voice reminded me, "So you can't do it -- what have you lost? Nothing!"

So I looke up into the man's eyes. His future was right there, staring back at me, ready to be told to him...

Walking down the street for me is like walking past dozens and hundreds of movies in mid-play, informing me, first of all, about this person's pain: where they are separated from Self, where they've been made to feel bad about their true Beingness... It can be very sad, and indeed, without medication I simply weep incessantly, pretty much round the clock...

It was such a releif when my intruction took me higher, and I was gifted with the realization that pain or no pain, it really IS all good!

It's so FUNNY that the question following our comment blank is "Are you human?" That's a good one, since so many of us interested in this site wouldn't be; really, totally that is...

Blessings on your wonderful work,

Analee

So, Anallee... what is your answer... a human or an angel...?
Richard, thank you for these little excercises... It realy makes wonders around me... sometimes I just feel embraced in so much love... it is wonderful ...I can't describe the feeling..like crying out of joy...being connected...loved...
When I try to racionalize all of it - I start loosing it... So I am trying not to do it, instead just to enjoy all that is there
Thank you

I connect with what this meditation means to me. (I understand it is different for everyone) When i listen to a person share their feelings i can relate Ive been there too or i've had a similar experience. I can only share to these others how i delt with my situation and maybe with what i've shared and mixed with their own wisdom they find their way.
These opportunities give me time to relect and acknowledge just how far i've come on my path. I've learnt compassion, Humility and that a long the way we need to listen and share with others for solutions and signs to challenges in life. Even if it be a stranger.
Be open and keep listening your answer to your prayer may just be answered even by you.
What an amazing place we live.:)

What a beautiful exercise. I get so caught up in my own life and issues, I'm so glad I got this important reminder to open my eyes and help others.

I have thought long and hard about this exercise. By tuning in to anothers complaint, unhappiness, troubles totally and completely can only 'feed' their stuff. For me this is not helpful, even when staying in my own energy of happiness and being loving. I usually steer the conversation towards what makes that person happy and what they DO want. Through that kind of 'help' they can make their own choice - stay in what is not working or laugh and move on.
