once some appreciation of this underlying consciousness arises so then does, accordingly, a compassion for all the various other forms of consciousness that are trapped in ignorance and suffering. to be quite honest, i never liked the idea of compassion. now it is known why; because to acknowlege non-self is a threat to the construct of ego. untill one starts to seek out and subsequently realise this experientially, then one remains within the confines of one's self imposed prison cell.
