Spiritual Evolution

Empathy is the ability to experience, through our own awareness, that which is in the awareness of another sentient life form (soul). Put in simple terms, ‘I feel what you feel’. To feel empathy is a choice, and therefore it can be rejected. However, the more it is accepted, the harder it is to reject.

Awareness is feeling; empathy is feeling what others feel, but not all feeling comes with understanding. There are two states of awareness that result in empathy:

The First State of Empathy

The first state is a state of awareness whose cause is not fully focussed on and therefore, does not result in the formation of images that can be considered and understood with clarity. It is knowing through feeling alone. This state is caused by the reception of vibrations emanating from another soul that are not accompanied by vibrations relating to its thoughts, i.e. the reason for its state of awareness. You can be aware that something is warm or cold, but not understand why it is.

The Second State of Empathy

The second state is caused by one or more of the following:

·        The consideration of a person’s body language or their actions

·        The consideration of a photo or other visual record e.g. a photo of a person’s face gives a visual record of how they were feeling at the time of the photo.

·        An audible record of the person’s voice, through which emotional states are also perceptible.

·        Hearing or seeing an account of what a soul has, is, or will experience.

In each case, the Self will, if it wishes, create images within its domain and consider them, and in doing so, will be affected by those images.
