Greetings and Salutations and dream state awareness:
As I slept today, recovering from surgery. I was brought to a word in my dream sequence. Compassion. Along the way in my dream I was asked what it meant, how do you apply it and do you think you have it. And to be honest I have it but only one sided. I desire individuals on a whole to have compassion with me but I am not willing to show compassion with individuals.
This is because I feel the world owes me something. <--- This is wishful thinking and ego.
In the dreams I was walking with the Dali Lama and Mother Theresa. Two people who I admire, and aspire to be... They both asked me in the dream, how do you think we have made it this far, not on religion and tradition but compassion and love?
Mother Theresa looks at me and says, My child, you must learn to love you with all of those things you want outside of your self before ANYONE even GOD will show you them back. In other words your reflection... I woke up knowing that I needed to share this information here and bring some compassion to the situation.
By definition Compassion means:
Compassion |kəmˈpaSHən|
Noun
Sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others: the victims should be treated with compassion.
Now, the word pity means:
Noun (pl. pities)
1 the feeling of sorrow and compassion caused by the suffering and misfortunes of others: her voice was full of pity.
2 [in sing.] a cause for regret or disappointment: what a pity we can't be friends.
Verb (pities, pitying, pitied) [with obj.]
Feel sorrow for the misfortunes of: Clare didn't know whether to envy or pity them | (as adj. pitying): he gave her a pitying look.
Both of these words are a noun, a noun means:
Noun [part of] Grammar
A word (other than a pronoun) used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things (common noun), or to name a particular one of these (proper noun).
It is an identifier, so I have identified for you what is means to have compassion. The other part of the conversation was the Dali Lama and his conversation to me about "suffering” which is included in one of the definition of compassion and pity.
He said the following:
Understanding the four noble truths about the Human Condition: conditions, conditioning,
The Nobel truths are:
1. The truth of suffering: understand self (Self)
2. Why we suffering: understand why we suffer (reason/confidence)
3. The ending of suffering: wish and desire (fight or flight)
4. Finding self (awakening)
In this conversation I understood why I had been suffering. A "thing" happened that affected me and I changed my patterns a created suffering. I understood the self in this moment; I have a pathological need to suffer. It is something that is in my conditioning (how one was raised) <--- these reflections are helping me break that pathology. Moferefun Egun!
I understood the reason for the suffering has NOTHING TO DO WITH the “thing” that happened it was merely a catalyst. <---- A big catalyst to change my life and the patterns I was not willing to look at.
My wish is to end the suffering and to start fresh, to not have rifts or clashes in order to learn the lessons. I am learning that you must SHOW MORE LOVE and BE MORE COMPASSIONATE in times of distress. It is not logical for one to add fuel to the fire so to speak in times of discomfort. In times of discomfort I am learning the best approach is none at all. The tongue builds and the tongue destroys. <---- Silence in matters or distress are most important, until one is ready to speak at a calm level I am learning one should say nothing at all, even if asked the response should be can we table this conversation.
In the process of having this dream I found a piece of my higher self. My reflection. I do not know everything but what I do know is that I love me and I must begin to be compassionate to me.
That is in everything I do.
My New Years resolution is too:
To remove all self-deprecating language from my internal conversation.
To monitor my external conversation and remove all of the negative speech that perpetuates White American idealism of "black".
To censor my interactions with individuals that use words and depictions of BLACK PEOPLE that are degrading and debased.
Changing my language will change my out comes.

#destinedforgreatness
I will be adding to this, to be more honest, to be more willing and to show myself more compassion.
What I learned from the Dali Lama in the dream is that compassion is the road to forgiveness, and forgiveness is the road to healing, and on the road to healing one reaches higher levels of Nirvana. <---being that I am a priest I have a spiritual responsibility to the energy of the world to not respond they way most do, I am a beacon of light and must act accordingly.
I am not sure the challenges for you all today other than showing the self-NOT THE EGO the self more compassion.
I am merely human and I make mistakes. As long as I am love and can be love I will be able to repent (reshape my experience) from the inside out.
I am glad I am young enough:
That although I may have fucked up a few relationship and cut some ties
I have the rest of my life to work on making LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIPS
Wishing you well on your journey eventually we all settle where we should be...
Yes, it is right in front of me, the challenge today is to show yourself and the selves of others more: Compassion, Love, Respect.
