“We are each living in our own soap opera. We do not see things as they really are. We see only our interpretations. This is because our minds are always so busy...But when the mind calms down, it becomes clear. This mental clarity enables us to see things as they really are, instead of projecting our commentary on everything.” Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo.

I don't think I have her. If I look deeply "within" all I see are animalistic desires and negative emotions.

Perhaps doubt is making it harder to manifest into a realization? Not that doubt is a simple switch but could it be likened to turning off the light in a dark room with no windows when trying to read a book? I feel as if you made the effort to look for compassion and see something that doesn't appear as compassion has to be driven by a compassionate desire. How else could such a contrast exist?

I have not seen this, sorry. But maybe good I didn't, since I would probably have said: "push in the middle".

It is not easy to answer this in words only, at least not for me. I would say to activate the caring aspect in each of us, to nurture, while she is actually always but we are too busy in our head and are so not connecting.

Anam Thubten said in the beginning something like the bright full moon inside of us. I guess then shining out. :smile:

Difficult to see that, may be rare. Tara is there, for sure.

I rejoice. :smile:
