Don't Be Compassionate - You're Wasting Your Time!

You can't 'do' compassionate.

Have you ever been at the receiving end of someone who is trying to "care"?

They make these unhappy faces, sigh a lot, say things like

"Oh, that must have been very hard."

Somewhere deep inside, you know you're being conned. It's not evil, it's not even bad - it's just fake. Like fake news. You want to believe it, but you know it probably isn't true.

It relates to Alexander's discovery - you can no more "do compassion" than you can "do freedom." Freedom, compassion - they are results of a process.

To go directly to trying to feel the result ignores the process. At the neuro-muscular level, it evidences a profound misunderstanding of your design. You're treating a sensory act as a motor act.

Compassion is a consequence, so is freedom.

Sensory information flows upward after the event, not downwards before it. The physiologists even have different names for these nerve fibres - afferent fibres (sensory, going up) and efferent fibres (motor, going down).

The ease we experience comes from a motor act, not a sensory act. Senses are a report, a message from the past. In the same way, compassion arises spontaneously as a result.

But a result of what?

If ease comes from realising how to move your head and whole self as you are doing what you are doing, then what is the action from which compassion will spontaneously arise?

Well, for more on this and many other profound issues underlying the discovery process, I am shamelessly reminding you that tomorrow is the last day you can get into my ThinkingBody course before I close the door on the discount.

Module 2 is 20% off, and when you buy it, there's a once only chance to purchase the first module of ThinkingBody at a ridiculous 40% discount. The first module is all about Alexander's story and the Discovery Compass. The second module is about using the Discovery Compass as a tool in learning for you and your students.
