Compassion vs. True Compassion
Written by Andie SantoPietro
Compassion is a 3D/4D concept. Thank God, we at least had some on the planet. Although, looking around at how HUmans have treated one another, the Earth, and the Animal kingdom, you would never know it. Compassion cannot be learned. It’s a natural byproduct of having an open heart, being caring and conscious, and not being afraid to use them freely. It allows us, without an agenda, to demonstrate heartfelt concern for others and their situations and struggles. It was repeatedly ingrained in us through our social and religious beliefs, but primarily expressed for “others.”
In 5D, we are encouraged to relearn this key HUman value but in its more exalted form of “true compassion.” This higher-vibrational form of Love must now include “you” in the equation and response. When you decide to help somebody or go to someone’s aid, especially, if it’s “just” emotional support, if you are not also factoring yourself in and are unaware of how that help will play out in “your” bigger picture, then it is no longer true compassion. More likely, at least some part of your response is based in your old 3D understanding of compassion, which was born out of a matrix of imbalance, opposites, and victim programming.
As a newly anointed 5D Higher Being, 3D reactions, even the good stuff like compassion, will eventually short circuit your nervous system a bit. You might get an unsuspecting call from the Universe, asking you for a “clean up on aisle 3.” If you are conscious and awake, you will clearly realize when these calls come in. There is no chance you’ll miss them, although at times you will wish you had. You might find yourself inadvertently pulled back into a situation repeatedly, and what eventually had started out as a good intention has now become stressful and burdensome. If you are truthful enough, you may even feel resentful and angry with the person for not heeding your advice or positively utilizing your Love. Often in early 5D, you will have to take a second look at how helpful your compassion or assistance turned out to be. When the action or reaction is out of integrity with you or has been filtered through your old vibrational filter of 3D/4D fixing or codependency, it will often come back in many creative ways to bite you. But why, if all you had were good intentions?Â
HUmans often filter decisions through the lens of how they see or feel about the actions they are about to take, how they will be perceived by others and what their response or impression will be. This is a very ingrained HUman phenomena. In the characteristic duality of 3D/4D, we learned that we have two basic choices for how to categorize (read: emotionalize) actions:Â
- Acting selfishly.
- Acting selflessly.
Both these designations come with a visceral set of immediate reactions. Selfish = stingy, not nice, cheap, self-absorbed, and so on. Selfless = kind, giving, caring, generous, good soul, and such.
With only those two main choices at play in 3D/4D, I know which I would prefer being identified with. How about you? We struggle to constantly do the right thing, give of ourselves, and stretch our hearts to be as much like Mother Teresa as possible. The good news in 5D is that martyrdom is dead. We don’t have to throw ourselves on our own swords anymore to feel like we are good people and liked by everyone to get the big reward of eternal life at the end.
In 5D, a new choice has been added to the mix. Triality is now affording us a third option: self-firstness.
True Compassion asks you to place yourself first. “Say what?” True Compassion allows you to consider your needs first and then turn around and go help others. It doesn’t say put yourself first and the hell with everybody else. That’s 3D selfishness, not 5D self-firstness. Instead, it asks you to put yourself first, then, if you’re feeling inspired to do so, to pivot to caring for another person or doing whatever the situation calls for with Love and Compassion. That’s the difference between this new protocol and being selfish—where most times you’re only thinking about yourself or where you’re doing for others randomly, possibly out of commitment, guilt, and your prior 3D emotional training. Many of us—especially many women—have never learned how to place ourselves first, drama free.
The Universe wants you to honor the abundance of God-Light you now carry. Who could possibly be more deserving of your loyalty and compassion than God? And yes, everyone’s God-Light is just as important as yours. But if you are offering service through the beautiful and powerful Light being that you are, then all that is being asked of you is to lead by directing it to yourself first. True compassion calls on that higher ordered you-first sequencing.
By placing yourself in the front domino position, you also place every aspect of it in correct order. Correct order brings Accountability, Responsibility and Truth, which aligns you with your core Integrity. This sacred chronology allows for the 5D advanced HUman to remove all the heavy 3D/4D resentments, regrets, manipulations, and codependent miscreations from all acts of giving and kindness.
