green ray is definitely about opening up the heart centre. It's all about compassion, understanding, and a shared sense of beingness. These are all good things.
but when does compassion stray into the territory of over-compassion?
Ra said that the proper response to starving entities (in the case given, starving peoples in Africa) was to feed them. And if one is in an appropriate situation, I think most of us would take that action.
I am thinking that over-compassion is when one strays from the thoughts of wanting to alleviate another's suffering, and providing assistance to alleviating that suffering, and into the territory of wanting to 'take on' another's suffering, and somehow shortcircuiting the 'suffering' that may be being used by the other self as a learning tool.
I hope that doesn't sound too callous; I am by no means suggesting that someone says 'no' to another-self's sincere asking for assistance; I am more pointing towards the attitude of overcompassion that might be something like - "I need to save the world", "I will sacrifice myself to alleviate another's pain', etc etc.
it's basically an attempt to learn another's lessons for them; by somehow seeing difficult catalyst in another, and desiring to stomp-out that catalyst.
it's almost like confusing other people's lessons for your own.
