AF29-Christ, 3P & Compassion

3PAE13 features guest Sylivia, who eloquently explores the deep interconnection and harmony between the teachings of Christ, the Three Principles (3P), and Compassion. Christ taught, “Love your neighbor as yourself”—a directive that begins with loving oneself.  She explains that the 3P understanding offers the spiritual and psychological tools to love ourselves and others, to cultivate a good feeling, and to live a happy and meaningful life as expressed in the teachings of Christ.

Sylivia uses the story of the Good Samaritan from the Bible to highlight  that a neighbor  is not about who lives near you, but about how you treat others; it calls us to love beyond religion, race, and social group; true love is practical, sacrificial, and compassionate; and the Samaritan, despite being from a despised group, was the true example of God’s love.

Through 3P, we gain the freedom to choose how we interpret and reflect on spiritual teachings. Compassion is not limited to financial giving—it also includes prayer, sharing wisdom, and truly listening to others.

Philips adds to the discussion by reflecting on inner wisdom, which deepens our understanding of Christ’s message. He points out that the root of happiness lies in the feeling within us, and when we connect with this feeling, our actions become more compassionate and Christ-like.

One of the most powerful questions raised from the participants in the episode—“How can people claim to love God and attend church, yet lack compassion for others?”—is answered with clarity and insight, inviting listeners to reflect on the alignment between their spiritual beliefs and their everyday actions.
