In the past month the world has seen some dramatic and violent results of changes that the Earth needed to make, to stay in balance. Unthinkable numbers of humans were killed, enormous amounts of property was destroyed, and great suffering faces the affected areas.

I was thinking about how the Tibetans have been trying to bring attention to their situation (under Chinese domination and suppression of their basic human rights). And they have succeeded in letting the world in to hear their cause.

But because of the recent disasters nearby, the world’s attention has shifted — rightly so — to the massive disaster relief efforts. Do you know what all the Tibetan leaders are saying about this? They are advising all Tibetans — within China and around the world — to stop agitating for freedom, and to join the relief efforts. To offer their assistance and prayers to those who most need them.

After all, we are all human beings together. Suffering is still suffering. The Tibetan leaders are wisely pointing out a basic truth that the ways we are the same as humans is greater than the ways we are different.

And I was thinking about how, when we hold strong views about right or wrong, we can forget all the gray areas where it’s not so clear. What about when someone is starving, and steals a loaf of bread just to be able to stay alive? What about someone killing a person in true self-defense? What about euthanizing an elderly animal that is sick and in pain? What about those whose sincere religious or political beliefs are completely opposite to what we believe?

The common denominator for every single thing is still Love.

When you can feel compassion, you are in The Light. This is the place closest to God or Source that there will ever be. And it is the only place where we can always meet another living being. It is always the place where we can meet ourselves, in kindness and honest, fearless joy.

This is the place where I invite every single reader to discover. Find this place, and hold onto it for dear life.

It is treasure beyond compare. Let those of us who can do this, show others the way. The world needs this skill . We are the ones who carry the flame within us, who have the ability and the desire — to give it freely.

Go. Do that. Be that. Now.
