Loving other-selves who are suffering

[IndigoSalvia]

I just had a moment. I watched the news, which I rarely do, while I was cooking. 

There I saw images of great human suffering, agony, starvation. Tears filled my eyes. I absorbed this suffering very deeply. I stepped into my pantry stocked full of food (in stark contrast to their starvation), and sobbed. 

My heart filled with agonizing pain. I wanted to take each and every one of them, hold them close to my heart, and relieve their suffering.  

I meditated afterward because I felt powerless. Called upon spirit guides because this was too big. 

In meditation, I opened my heart. I saw them in me, and me in them. I loved them as much as I possibly could. And, then I took prana into myself, and sent it to them. 

Then, rather surprisingly, I was called to love the people in power, those who may be seen to be making choices that result in their people's suffering. I sobbed again. 'Really? That's a tall order. I have to send love to them?' The answer was, yes. 

I did as called to do. I felt myself as a conduit between the two entities - the powerful (controller) and the powerless (controlled) - sharing the universe's love as it was channeled through me and to both of them; allowing them to see one another through me. 

I did not set out to do all of this in meditation. I simply wanted to look at my pain and sense of powerlessness at absorbing others' suffering. 

I'm not certain why I'm posting this here other than: this is a community of souls who are gathering and seeking our one-ness. 

Thank you for listening to my 'moment.'
