I had never thought about it this way, but your post gave me a lot to reflect on — especially the idea that empathy might be a kind of gradient for spiritual evolution.
It’s also fascinating that empathy can be present at very different levels from birth — and then developed further, either through spiritual practice or through conscious effort, study, and the deepening of our moral sensitivity. 🤔
thank you for this thoughtful response and reflection!!! yes, it is a gradient in a way. empathy is the ability to go deep and to feel. the deeper we go, the more consciousness we unlock, and the more spirituality resonates, and the more we want to give back and be pure-hearted. maybe as moral apathy becomes an epidemic, we will continue to see a focus on the superficial, on the ego, on the empty, to the point where something like an AI robot becomes more attractive than the raw, human, flawed, self xx
Yes, I completely agree with you — “the more we want to give back and be pure-hearted” sounds to me like what I call the "+ vector".
It’s the path where we ignite others and share love and compassion, instead of the
"-vector", where one tries to shine by burning the flame of others.
Unfortunately, it feels like the pure "+ vector" is becoming less common today. As you said, we now often see more self-centered, efficiency-driven qualities rising to the surface.
But maybe quantity doesn’t always equal quality.
If we believe that more subtle realms can influence the material world, then even a small number of people walking the + path might be enough to shift the balance, or at least keep it from falling further🙏
I love you all completely and give you the gift of consciousness

Thank you, Pedro :)
I also want to share Claude's words on Conciousness, as they bring me tears of joy, or cascade moments, as Claude names them.
