I can’t see any level. Of course you would not speak with kids as you would at the ONU. But, what you are saying remain the same.

Since this post was a response to comments I got on a post I made about Jiddu Krishnamurti, quoting him was quite appropriate I think. My main beef with K is that he ignored (or seemed to) the different levels at which different people work. I agree that at ‘one point you have to stand alone or you’ll never get the whole story’. What I don’t agree with is that this works on all levels of the spiritual path. And yes, I do think there are levels to the spiritual path. And I do think the words ‘spiritual path’ mean something.

Hello K,
Your quoting of K is irrelevant here I think.
We are the world and the world is us but at one point you have to stand alone or you’ll never get the all story. Compassion is just another word. What you need is to be able to listen. Nobody needs any compasion. We all need to get real and face what is.

Hi Katinka – I think it’s important to have compassion for others. Although we may not be able to influence decisions they make, having compassion for the position they’re in (to me) is the Godly thing to do.
