Loving Kindness Thursday

With mindfulness comes compassion and with compassion comes great responsibilty.

When you are mindful, you feel deeply, you become conscious of your own suffering and the suffering of others. You appreciate the interconnectedness of all things and realise that your suffering and the suffering of others are one. You may find increasingly that your conscience is offended by injustice, cruelty and the ill treatment of other human beings and you may find that you are called in the service of humanity.

Loving Kindness is a new kind of activism, we have no political affinity and care not for whether the darkness is projected from the left or the right, we do not take a stand against fascism or communist or against fundamentalism or neo-liberalism; we aren’t taking a stand against anything. We simply sit in silent meditation and shine the light of loving kindness upon the darkness, shining the light of loving kindness and compassion upon those who need it most, those so lost in ego and suffering that they project such darkness into the world.

This is not a revolution, because each revolution simply takes you full circle. This is an evolution; an evolution of mind. We have no need for ways of the past.

We have no need for anger or violence, because this is simply more darkness and not the way of loving kindness. We do not seek to tear down the system, because it is not the system at fault, it is the corruption of the system by those who’s minds are so corrupted that they have lost their heart and project terrible suffering in the world. We seek to bring about a shift in the mindset, because with mindfulness and the cultivation of the heart all these systems can be turned in an instant towards the service, rather than the enslavement, of humanity.

Each week on The Now Project Radio Show you’ll be given the chance to nominate and vote for an institution, corporation or other body that is particularly in need of loving kindness. Once a month we will undertake a little spiritual activism and do a flash mob loving kindness meditation.

If you profit from suffering of others you need Loving Kindness
