True Empathy

“To empathize does not mean to join in suffering, for that is what you must refuse to understand.” ACIM T-16.I.1:1

How do we show love to those who are suffering without joining in the suffering?

And how do we remain full at heart, not callous, and be with suffering without suffering?

Tomorrow, September 11th, 2024, is the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, a time when the past looms large for some … and is not remembered at all by others (especially those born after 2001). We can use it as an opportunity to experience true empathy, as defined in A Course in Miracles, and the Love and Liberation it offers.
