Page 42 - 7 Steps to Spiritual Empathy Sample Book_Neat

Whether we are talking about the relationship
between mind, body and spirit, whether we are
talking about being in relationship with nature
or in relationship with a spiritual experience of
life, and in relationship with a greater universal
intelligence, being alive is about being “in
relationship”. And the greater our awareness of
this, the greater our ability to live through
conscious choice.

Throughout this book I have placed a great deal
of emphasis on our relationship with ourselves. I
do so with good intent.

In order to offer empathy to others, indeed to
live in a manner that allows us to tread lightly
through life and to live life with true respect and
consideration, we will need to develop our
ability to be fully relational and to do this we
will need to know and understand ourselves.

To be able to live through conscious choice, we
will need to become aware of ourselves, and
there is no better way to relate and to
understand ourselves than to receive ourselves
through empathy.

Empathy is the very fabric of relatedness.
