The Key to Enlightenment is Compassion for yourself and others. Why?

Discovering a Path of Compassion towards myself and others in the 1970s is one of the many reasons I'm still alive now at age 77. I was 21 in 1969.

Why is compassion towards yourself and others so important?

Because without compassion for yourself or others as you are heading for enlightenment you are likely to either self destruct (from putting yourself down) or kill others (because they are putting you down).

This is the easiest way to say this.

But, there is another factor here that is important.

One the path to enlightenment often you become very powerful supernaturally and if that power is directed against yourself or others likely you will die young.

So, only when this is governed by your compassion for yourself or others will life not kill you when you become more supernaturally powerful by the Grace of God.

It's sort of like giving a child the keys to a Ferrari Sports car. If the child is between 6 and 15 years old they soon would be dead (especially boys).

When you embark on a path of compassion towards yourself and all others it is extremely powerful when you do this in a good way towards yourself and all others.

Enlightenment is only safe for yourself and others if you have compassion for yourself and all other beings in the Universe.
