Generator of Compassion

What is a generator of Compassion? Potentially all human beings are. It is a discipline like everything else in life that makes it actually work ongoing. However, to become a generator of compassion where does one start?

Well. Sometimes people start in church or with their parents and family and others who have more difficult live learn to become generators of compassion through a lot of hard knocks.

It works something like this. This opposite of a generator of compassion would be an animal that is undomesticated that might attack you if you get too close. It's not that the animal is angry at you, it just doesn't trust you so it attacks you so you don't hurt it. But if it could mostly that animal would run away from you and hide unless it is a Grizzly Bear and you are in it's territory or something like that.

So, what is the basis of a Generator of compassion? I would say the basis is intelligence. Because the basis of a Generator of compassion is compassion combined with experience combined with intelligence and when you put all these things together you get "Compassionate Wisdom in action".

So, an effective Generator of Compassion is not someone who runs out in front of cars or trucks and gets hit and dies, unless he or she was trying to save the life of another while this happens.

An experienced Generator of compassion looks for efficient useful ways to be compassionate to all beings. For example, I know of a Catholic Nun who was helping in a soup kitchen and one of the homeless men got up and knocked her out with his fist for no reason. Then the other homeless men got up and almost killed the man while the nun was unconscious for doing that.

However, in that situation was the Catholic Nun a generator of compassion? I would say "Yes" because she was trying to help these homeless people in a soup kitchen. However, for me, that would not be the way I likely would be too choose to help. I have found better ways over the years to amplify and to multiply Compassion for me. However, other people are going to choose different ways according to their abilities and needs and choices.

So, there is no real way to define what a generator of compassion actually is other than to say that a Generator of compassion always tries to help in the most compassionate and wise ways possible all people that they can.

There is something that I like to call the circle of life in that when you do something to help someone else God and all Life always notices. You may not think God or Life is watching but they are. Nothing is missed in your motivations by life around you. This is a given. So, it is in your enlightened self interest to become a conscious generator of compassion because it will always tend to make your own life better and better once you understand this.

So, who does it tend to help when you work on becoming a better Generator of compassion? The person's life that is the most helped is yours, followed by everyone you are trying to help. This is the actual physics of becoming a Generator of compassion. However, it is also important to remember to be wise about all this and efficient too. Because always "God helps those who help themselves". I have found this to be true too. (If you believe in God). If you don't believe in God maybe the best way to put it is: "What goes around comes around!" Anyone who lives long enough can see this.
