Universal Compassion - Guided (Nondual) Meditation

A guided meditation on universal compassion by Michael Taft.
Starts almost at the beginning, and runs for one hour.
We begin by rousing bodhicitta (the heart and mind of awakening).
Then get focused, clear, and relaxed with shamatha.
Then contact nonduality with a "do-nothing" practice.
From that basis, we then enter a guided visualization, in which we contact the compassion and healing power of the Mother of All Buddhas. We bring universal compassion to ourselves, our family, our neighborhood, our communities. Also to all political leaders, members of the police, and the military. We imagine them peaceful, loving, kind, and filled with love and compassion. Then we bring compassion, love, kindness, healing, justice, and freedom to all oppressed people everywhere, to people suffering from injustice, to people who have been hurt, attacked, left out, silenced, and abused.
Followed by a dharma talk and Q&A.

Funny, when you first asked ”Is this a dream?”, I first thought ”Yes, everything is”, and then I had the impulse to look for texts to read, because that used to be my dream sign: not being able to read text, something that however changed with my practice. Then there was the realization that finding a text there in the murk behind my eyelids would actually indicate that it might be a dream. A while later, a text did show up. It was a messenger text that showed up on the screen. I only managed to read the beginning of it since the text only stayed for a brief while, just like it usually does when the youtube app is playing. Except I still had my eyes closed, and I was aware of that. So yes, I guess it was a dream, and a lucid one.

That's hilarious, I actually started sending the energy of the mother star to Trump, Obama, Bush before you even mentioned it. Astounding meditation!!

Real compassion is full automation, ending necessity.
