Everyone you meet is you, a Separate Differentiated Repetition of you and this IS the root of empathy and the core of real unselfish Love. Intelligent awakened beings with same system of belief about what is good and what is bad having the same common purpose in life become ONE through EMPATHY. LOVE IS A PERFECT BOND OF UNION.
JESUS SAID : I AM IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IS IN ME ....AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IN THE FUTURE THAT I AM IN YOU AND YOU IN ME . JOHN 14 .Nikos Mar
I am 51 years old Greek married male living in australia . In my family we had many relatives with mental disorders from my mothers side . My mother had psychotic syndrome bipolar 1. Due to my traumatic expose in her psychotic delirium when i was 14 i felt detached from my self....I remember i was in my classroom and i started feeling like my head was a hollow box disconnected stupid ......i remember telling my cousin ( i was single kid) that i could not feel what love for others is and that i did not understand why sould i love and i also could not feel that God exists even i could believe it intellectually only , by reasoning , and also i was complaining that i WANTED TO FIND MY SELF and that i could not feel my self adequately it more seemed i was a observer of my self like if i was foreign and watching a movie of me. . 5 years after as i was under a diligent spiritual programme i had my first AWAKENING IN HERE AND NOW , FEELING MY SELF AS ONE .- i was one = .THE OBSERVER SELF THE I AM - AND HAVING A CRYSTAL CLEAR THREE DIMENSIONAL (3D) SIGHT OF ALL OBJECTS AROUND ME AS SOMETHING SEPARATE OF ME IN FRONT OF ME .I had a solid unified sense of my self ...my thoughts my feelings and body senses were all one it was ME the observer existence. My vision was not depended to my eyes as before but was like things were just there existing and real , and i was the seer the I AMNESS OBSERVING IN AWE IN A 3D LASER FOCUS CLARITY .....IT WAS AS IF I WAS ALIVE FOR FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE being capable to FEEL the proper feelings of AWE and deep sincere gratitude in relation with God's role as the creator and the source of LIFE . SAME TIME I REALIZED GOD'S EXISTENCE I ALSO REALIZED WHAT IS DEEP EMPATHY AND LOVE FOR OTHERS . I REALIZED WITH ALL MY EXISTENCE THAT EVERY ONE YOU MEET IS A SEPARATE DIFFERENTIATED REPETITION OF YOU . THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF THAT EXISTS IN THE UNIVERSE AGAIN AND AGAIN DIFFERENTIATED EACH TIME IN MANY SEPARATE LIFE SCENARIOS FROM GOD THE CREATOR TO YOU AND ME AND TO ALL PEOPLE EVER PASSED FROM EARTH AND YOUR FRIENDS AND YOUR ENEMIES ALL OF THEM ARE SIMPLY REPETITIONS OF YOU . I realized why Jesus said that we must love our neighbour as OUR SELF , and why WE MUST LOVE OUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THEM WHO ARE HARMING US ( simply we also exist and there as the ones we conceider as enemies ...we are and the victim and the victimizer ...we want our enemies to have a cure in their perspective and mentality as if they were our self and we pray for them ...we dont compete with indifference for their needs in the same way we also would like others do for us if we had a distortion and selfish blindness making us mean and bad ) .I started writing this blog few years ago and here i explain many insights i had through my exploration . . .
THE CONCEPT OF EMPATHY UNDERSTOOD AS " I AM YOU " is within all religions and spiritual paths even if it is a bit hidden. Here i paste some references in books and music http://iamyou1.blogspot.com.au/2017/04/i-am-you-empathy-awakened-consiousness.html No one of us being in a state of numbness and Depersonalization -a kind of languor of self - can experience the truth behind this concept....because we are not even experiencing adequately our self .. Only when i experienced my self for first time as one in clarity i experienced same time that GOD exists , and deep intense empathy for others = LOVE = perfect bond of union And that experience was not a product of drugs or transcendental meditation it was a sober experience through contemplation in bible under pray and being out in the nature alone and making life changes helping others and cultivating self-control according to what i was studying in the bible.

(BIBLE GOSPELL OF JOHN 14).8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves 19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” .
When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’40 In reply the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,‘YOU DID IT TO ME
MATTHEW 25:34 “Then the King will say to those on his right: ‘Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world.35 For I became hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you received me hospitably;+36 naked* and you clothed me.+ I fell sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you visited me.’+37 Then the righteous ones will answer him with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?+38 When did we see you a stranger and receive you hospitably, or naked and clothe you?39 When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’40 In reply the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,YOU DID IT TO ME.’+
41 “Then he will say to those on his left: ‘Go away from me,+you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire+ prepared for the Devil and his angels.+42 For I became hungry, but you gave me nothing to eat; and I was thirsty, but you gave me nothing to drink.43 I was a stranger, but you did not receive me hospitably; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but you did not look after me.’44 Then they too will answer with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’45 Then he will answer them, saying: ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.’
Proverbs 19:17
17 The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah,( or to Lord ,to God the father...Jehovah is the name of God the creator Jesus Father's in Bible)
And He will repayhim for what he does.

GOD SAYS IN Isaiah 58:
No, this is the fast that I choose:
To remove the fetters of wickedness,To untie the bands of the yoke bar,+To let the oppressed go free,+And to break in half every yoke bar;7 It is to share your bread with the hungry,+To bring the poor and homeless into your house,To clothe someone naked when you see him,+And not to turn your back on your own flesh.8 Then your light will shine through like the dawn,And your healing will spring up quickly.Your righteousness will go before you,And the glory of Jehovah will be your rear guard.+9 Then you will call, and Jehovah will answer;You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am!’If you remove from among you the yoke barAnd stop pointing your finger and speaking maliciously,+10 If you grant to the hungry what you yourself desire*+And satisfy those who are afflicted,*Then your light will shine even in the darkness,And your gloom will be like midday.+11 Jehovah will always lead youAnd satisfy you* even in a parched land;+He will invigorate your bones,And you will become like a well-watered garden,+
Like a spring whose waters never fail.

The Egg
By: Andy Weir IN THIS EGG STORY THE AUTHOR SAYS IN A DIALOG BETWEEN GOD AND A HUMAN BEING :
“Just me? What about everyone else?”
“There is no one else,” I said. “In this universe, there’s just you and me.”
You stared blankly at me. “But all the people on earth…”
“All you. Different incarnations of you.”
“Wait. I’m everyone!?”
“Now you’re getting it,” I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.
“I’m every human being who ever lived?”
“Or who will ever live, yes.”
“I’m Abraham Lincoln?”
“And you’re John Wilkes Booth, too,” I added.
“I’m Hitler?” You said, appalled.
“And you’re the millions he killed.”
“I’m Jesus?”
“And you’re everyone who followed him.”
You fell silent.
“Every time you victimized someone,” I said, “you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.”
I HAVE TO NOTICE THAT I DON'T BELIEVE MANY OTHER THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THIS STORY OF EGG BUT I ALWAYS KNEW AFTER MY PERSONAL AWAKENING EXPERIENCE WHEN I WAS 18 THAT ALL PEOPLE EVER BEEN IN EARTH WERE JUST OTHER SCENARIOS OF ME OR OF GOD OR OF YOU ... January 10, 2006 Cells That Read Minds
By SANDRA BLAKESLEE (NEW YORK TIMES) "The human brain has multiple mirror neuron systems that specialize in carrying out and
understanding not just the actions of others but their intentions, the social meaning of
their behavior and their emotions.
"We are exquisitely social creatures," Dr. Rizzolatti said. "Our survival depends on
understanding the actions, intentions and emotions of others."
He continued, "Mirror neurons allow us to grasp the minds of others not through
conceptual reasoning butthrough direct simulation. By feeling, not by thinking."
The discovery is shaking up numerous scientific disciplines, shifting the understanding of
culture, empathy, philosophy, language, imitation, autism and psychotherapy. " http://cf.linnbenton.edu/artcom/social_science/danced/upload/psy201mirrorneurons.pdf

Open individualism is the view in the philosophy of personal identity, according to which there exists only one numerically identical subject, which is everyone at all times.[1] It is a theoretical solution for the question of personal identity, being contrasted with empty individualism, the view that personal identities correspond to a fixed pattern that instantaneously disappears with the passage of time, and with closed individualism, the common view that personal identities are particular to subjects and yet survive time.

All my senses awaken to the changes And I feel alive inside my own skin All my reasons tell just how strange it is Coming home to a place I've always been
And it's all for love
And it's all for love
Even though sometimes, I don't know who I am
I am you, everything you do
Anything you say, you want me to be
You're me with your arms on a chain
Linked eternally in what we can't undo I'm you
I am you
We are one by Kelly Sweet
Didn't need to ask
Don't know the reason
Everything that I believe
Is right here
Not thinkin' bout tomorrow
Couldn't catch it if I tried
World is spinning too fast
So I'll wait 'til it comes to me
I am you
You are me
We are one
Take me in your arms
And flow through me
I'll flow through you
Steal my breath away
'Cause I'm so moved by you
Deeper than I ever thought
Was possible, was possible, it's everything, oh
Difference between me and you
It's all in where your heart lies
And every day's another chance
So let's get it right
I am you
You are me
We are one
Take me in your arms
And flow through me
I'll flow through you
Did you lose yourself out there
Did you lose faith and give up
Don't turn away and hide yourself
'Cause there's a friend to make along the way
We are the heartbeat and our souls speak
And all the beauty I have ever dreamed
Is right here in front of me, oh
Is right here in front of me, oh
I am you
And you are me
We are one
Take me in your arms
And flow through me
I'll flow through you
