When you witness someone who cannot be kind, who is ignorant, who is ridden with negativity and cynicism, know that they are in suffering - that there is much pain within them from past traumas, that has blocked the innate state of peace and kindness that would otherwise manifest from their depth of being. The only natural response is compassion towards them and their pain and suffering. Wish them freedom from the hell that they may be stuck in. Wish them healing and the return to the Divine Love that lies at the depth of their being.

When you are in uncertainty and anxiously waiting for something. Be it a response from a boss regarding a job application, a message from a partner, the result about your health check for an illness, all is that you have lost presence in God, and in Life. You are not in surrender and thus there is suffering. How easy it is to remember and return to God, return to trust in Life and surrender, to return to peace. Anxiety is a sign of forgetfulness to trust in God's Will.

How do you know when you have become One with God?
When you look at every stranger with a sense of love. When you witness and appreciate the love in a parent's eyes looking at their child, when you have no child of your own. When you enjoy two couples holding hands while you're still single. For you have become to recognise the other as an extension of you - and you are witnessing yourself in the other - and the myriad of other lifeforms. You have become the container of all creation. You have become One with God. This may be a fleeting experience, but nevertheless a taste of Divine Union.

When the ego speaks...know that it is pain speaking. Whether yours or others, when the ego speaks through you or another, know that it is hurt and separation speaking. When you recognise this, the only natural response is compassion, not judgement.
