Remember, Be Here Now.
The ego is a tool. You don't separate it. It's a tool for the spirit.
Compassion refers to the arising in the heart of the desire to relieve the suffering of all beings.
The gift you offer another person is just your being.
I think that people should give gifts by really recognizing the spiritual worth of the person and their (the givers') own worth. You usually give a present that the other person needs or wants, and I think it just emphasizes wants and needs.
The reality we live in is selected by our conceptual definitions. You and I may be in the same physical space, but each of us will see it as entirely different.
