 Pinnacles National Park, California, USA What if God experiences life through us, and through our ability to love and forgive, we experience God? This profound idea redefines compassion, empathy, and forgiveness as not just moral virtues but spiritual practices that bring us closer to the divine. By embodying these qualities, we dissolve the illusion of separateness and open ourselves to the truth of oneness. God’s Infinite Experience If God is infinite and all-encompassing, then every experience—joy, sorrow, love, and pain—flows through God. Imagine God not as a distant observer but as an intimate participant, feeling the world through our eyes, hearts, and actions. This perspective explains the boundless forgiveness and compassion often attributed to God. How could a being that experiences life through all of us condemn? Judgment fades in the presence of deep understanding, and divine compassion becomes the natural response to human imperfection. Compassion: The Gateway to Oneness Compassion, empathy, and forgiveness are often seen as acts of kindness toward others, but they are also pathways to divine connection. When we forgive someone, we see beyond their actions and connect with their humanity. When we empathize, we transcend the boundaries of self and other, recognizing that their pain is not separate from our own. In these moments, we step into the divine flow of oneness. We aren’t just connecting with another person; we’re aligning with the essence of God. Experiencing God Through Action Many seek to understand God through prayer, meditation, or scripture. While these practices are invaluable, there’s another, often overlooked way to experience the divine: by embodying God-like qualities. • Compassion: When we offer compassion to others, we act as vessels of divine love. We create a space where others feel seen, understood, and accepted—just as God does for us. • Forgiveness: Forgiveness isn’t about excusing harm but about freeing ourselves from the chains of resentment. In forgiving, we reflect God’s infinite capacity for understanding. • Empathy: When we feel another’s pain as our own, we dissolve the illusion of separateness and touch the truth of our interconnectedness. By embodying these qualities, we don’t just know God; we experience God within and through us. Barriers to Divine Connection If compassion and forgiveness bring us closer to God, then what happens when we act without them? Judgment, anger, and resentment create a sense of separation—not just between ourselves and others but also between ourselves and the divine. These barriers are illusions, but they feel real because they’re rooted in the ego’s desire to protect its identity. The antidote is simple yet profound: practice compassion, even when it feels difficult. Forgive, even when it feels undeserved. In doing so, we don’t just heal relationships; we also heal the separation within ourselves and reconnect with God’s presence. Living as the Divine To live compassionately is to embody the essence of God. When we approach the world with love, empathy, and forgiveness, we become reflections of the divine. And in those moments, we don’t just sense God—we become one with God. So, the next time you feel compassion for someone, realize that you’re not just being kind; you’re touching the infinite. And when you forgive, remember that you’re stepping into the boundless love that flows through all of creation. By aligning with these divine qualities, we move closer to the truth of oneness—where God is not something we reach for, but something we are. A Call to Action Take a moment today to reflect: where in your life can you offer more compassion or forgiveness? Perhaps it’s toward a loved one, a stranger, or even yourself. Try to embody that divine quality and notice the shift it creates—not just in the world around you, but in your own heart. If this message resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences. How have you experienced compassion as a spiritual practice? Let’s continue this conversation about oneness and divine connection in the comments below.

 Seeker: Where do I find love, peace, and happiness…?
Universe: Where are they felt? Seeker: Hmm…inside? Universe: Why are you looking on the outside? 100% of our experiences and feelings, such as love, peace, and happiness, are felt from within, yet we are always trying to obtain them from without. We must first begin seeking in the right place. If you find them externally, you are only on a borrowed term because once what makes you happy departs, there also goes your love, peace, and happiness. So, own them yourself by finding them internally. It’s actually a lot easier than you think because you already have them. When you find and own plenty of them, you can then share them with others who will be drawn to you because you have what everyone is looking for. But remember, do not make anyone depend on you for the sake of controlling them. You must either find those who already have these qualities themselves or help them find their own, or else they will leech on you and suck the life out of you. Not only should you look in the right place, but also seek the right things. If you seek, you shall find. Be careful what you are looking for. Hate, fear, sadness, pain, etc., reside in the same place as the others. Where you put your attention is what you will experience and manifest into reality. To avoid finding things you don’t want, you must organize and clean up the space you live in. This is where deep healing comes in, which will declutter and help you find things much easier. If you run into any bad memories and negative emotions along the way, don’t freak out. Use them as your guides to trace back to the source of these emotions. Lincoln once said, “Destroy your enemies by making them your friends.” If you perceive them as your enemies, then they will make your life miserable, but if you make them your friends, they will become the best tools you have for finding love, peace, and happiness. - Feelasoulphy  Before asking to be heard, learn to listen. Before asking to be understood, learn to understand. Before asking to be seen, learn to see. Don’t expect to receive until you learn to give. - Feelasoulphy  When we try to change each other, we fight. When we try to change ourselves, we love. - Feelasoulphy  Fear based decisions will only produce more fear for you, but love based decisions will yield more love back to you. Which will you choose? - Feelasoulphy  Love is Natural. Fear is Artificial. Love is Eternal. Fear is Provisional. Love Creates. Fear Destroys; yet Love Recreates and Restores again. Love > Fear Embrace Love and not Fear! - FeelaSoulphy  If you don’t accept who you are, how can you accept others and be accepted by others? If you don’t think you are attractive, how can you expect others to attract to you? If you are not honest to yourself, how can you be honest to anyone else? If you judge others it’s because you judge yourself. Love yourself unconditionally first you will learn how to love others and be loved unconditionally.
