I would like to find a description and application of how empathy translates into compassion and unconditional love in detail. How when feeling those overwhelming empathetic resposes to suffering, the mind shifts into compassion mode negating the negative influences.
I know by practicing EE, this transition happens almost immediately now, and I feel it would be most effective to give this to various caregivers as daily maintenance. I dint know what works better. In addition I need an description of exactly what the differences are of all these states of being,(compassion, unconditional love, empathy) in no uncertain terms, a language that leaves no stone unturned. I have found that much of what people hear in a lecture or what they read is not always really understood. I have found a simple unconditional language and a lot of patience is crucial to real understanding and the ability to practice.
I have found that teaching is the ability to really make something understood, sometimes questioning and listening to what is taken in and being absorbed. Rather than good actors memorizing lines, which many are taught and passes for learning, I see that a great many do not understand the concept of something or the word and the feeling that goes with it. No matter what the intellect or high test scores of a person, this same person may not understand what unconditional love, compassion etc is. I want to be able to spell it out, as I see the results change radically when not presupposing that people understand feeling and what the mind does with it.
I anyone knows where to find anything helpful along these lines it is appreciated. Just a comprehensive blow by blow description on the meaning and transitions that happen in the process of going from empathy to compassion/lovingkindness in caregiving. It can be in a kindergarten's terms, anything again is welcomed.
This and every other transcript is like watching people hauling themselves across the country of North American in covered wagons under serious distress, continuing on until wear and worn, finally discovering what looks like gold, and by golly it IS, and its STILL work, but of a different kind. And they keep finding more. Improbable, but true. And God! look how it shines. Only when carefully polished you DO get buckets of love and light, but its only a part. When I think of you guys meeting the transient passengers, known as the C's for now, I am reminded of this analogy and all that goes form the finding of gold. The people that found it happenend upon it through diligent sometimes hopeless work, BUT they continued. What happened after is the history of fools rushing in. You guys among a fewothers are pioneers that have given all of us here a gift of knowledge for the asking and protection for the willing. You are doing you're job so greatly and your efforts are life-enhancing.

. However, the section regarding California sinking into the sea particularly jumped out to me. Jan's interpretation, which I have highlighted, has pretty much come to pass, has it not? That is, California being heavily politically correct and 'social justice/progressive' leaning in their outlook. Given that water is typically representative symbolically of emotions then this makes a lot of sense.
