Who Are We and Why are We Here? Kuan Yin Quotes on Compassion

 In the work "Oracle of Compassion: the Living Word of Kuan Yin" ancient deity, Kuan Yin answers what may be the most important question of ours or any other era: who we are as a species. The current state of affairs of war, poverty and environmental degradation cause many modern philosophers to question whether we are inherently cooperative or competitive. Often Darwin's research on the nature of various species is cited as an explanation for acts of war and aggression; that humanity is a naturally competitive species.

Periodically, biologists have emphasized the competitive aspects of survival. However, Darwin himself recognized and pointed out the greater advantage of cooperation and compassion within a local group of a species. Indeed, in times of disaster we witness the overwhelming kindness and assistance to aide in victims' recovery. Having free will, humanity engages in a full spectrum of activities from helping each other to greed and war.

Why is compassion and cooperation currently not generally emphasized? What are the societal pathways that have to be changed so that the majority of societal norms (intentions, actions, spiritual goals) point toward the compassionate end of the scale? In a physical disease, sooner or later the victim will show deleterious symptoms: signs that the body is breaking down in some way. As a societal disease, war can negatively impact society, the environment and spiritual development at all levels.

Humanity has (through the channeled information of extremely intuitive beings), periodically attracted crucial information to assist in understanding the nature of personal and mass reality-that we are eternal beings living a human existence. Throughout her spiritual teachings, Kuan Yin loosens the Gordion Knot of our entanglement. Compassion at the level personified by Kuan Yin is not some luxury sentiment that might be expressed towards others at the appropriate moment. Indeed, it is at the very core of our survival. And as Kuan Yin's Law of Compassion is intimately connected with all daily choices and emotions, such compassionate feelings on the part of the ego will join and expand the great rhapsody of light and sound stretching beyond any time/space constraints.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This ancient Law of Compassion maxim emphasizing compassion and generosity demonstrates that when compassion is at the forefront of consciousness, one will receive back a multitude of blessings, finally culminating in a release from fear. The deity explains that our present paradigm mostly dominated by the Fear Triad "better than", "not enough" and "survival of the fittest" beliefs will eventually force souls coming to earth to accelerate their evolution through confronting and then changing their behavior in regard to the above. Because these limiting beliefs play such a prominent role on earth, Kuan Yin insists that life on earth will eventually point the way to our "escape hatch" from any cycles of limitation and fear.

What indeed is our liberation? Similar to Christ and Buddha, Kuan Yin instructs us on the potency of motherly love and compassion: that they are the most powerful liberating forces in the universe: Referring to Her Love and Forgiveness Principle; Kuan Yin says: "Loving kindness is the most powerful force in the universe. It is potent even when displayed during the so-called mundane tasks of daily existence. It's so potent that if everyone could get into that 'space' for a minute or even less all consciousness on earth would immediately change. You can help teach the world about empathy. If you'd rather use the words, 'loving kindness', that's fine. Empathy or loving-kindness! They are the same. But remember, they're very different from guilt or pity. Having true empathy is to understand another's pain and suffering from a place of power. Your job is to also create new possibilities."-Kuan Yin
