Regarding the discipline of compassion and kindness: it introduces you to the tantalizing prospect of encountering all sensations, emotions and experiences with an attitude of joyful appreciation, anchored in the unmoving abyss of non-conceptual consciousness – one undisturbed by instinctive, subconscious reactions derived from past conditioning. This state reduces the prevalence of automatic reactions, freeing conscious perception to settle, unfold and gaze upon itself lucidly. It encourages an inward stillness and clarity of mind that allows perception to grasp its inherent state: Pure Awareness beyond the fleeting whims of thoughts and emotions. Through spiritual cultivation – if not merely inherent nature – kindness and compassion gradually effloresce into a spontaneous manner of Being.
