I recently discovered a wonderful new resource called Contemplative Journal. From the site's description: "Wherever you may be on
your spiritual journey, your ideas and beliefs are welcome here. This
is a place where meaningful inquiry, sound scholarship, and
non-conceptual experience blend seamlessly. Contemplative Journal boldly explores the wildest mysteries of the universe within the context of the daily lives of our readers.
Below is one of their first offerings, a heart-opening interview with Rabbi Rami Shapiro as he explores how the future of humanity lies at the intersection of compassion and contemplation. From the interview: "Kindness cares for the other; in compassion, there is no other...When I'm being kind to you, it's like I'm one step up - you need some help, I'll be kind to you. I'm in a position of power and the recipient has less power. But in compassion, we meet at our brokenness...The Divine Reality is for everyone - all beings are our neighbors and we can love them all."

I have to check the out in more detail. Rabbi Shapiro is a former professor of a Friend. He is great! This appeals to me greatly.
Thanks for watching, Don. Always good to hear from you, old friend! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I really resonated with him as well. I so love the idea that resonates in the mystical aspects of the varieties of religions, that the Divine Reality is for everyone - all beings are our neighbors and we can love them all.
