[Oe List ...] Fwd: more Moore!

I've been contemplating what it means to live in Oneness, in the   
UNI-verse, especially since reading Power vs. Force David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. He 
says there is no opposite of  Love. There is Love and the absence of Love.  
So  care-less-ness, obliviousness, unconsciousness, numbness, ignorance are 
 all manifestations of the absence of compassion. In a way, it's a word  
game, but I find it helpful. Hope you do. 
 
Blessings,
Jann

John,
 
Of course you are correct about care.  Ever since I saw  Thomas Merton's 
quote, "Compassion is the keen awareness of the  interdependence of all living 
things," I've tried to articulate for  myself what would be the opposite of 
compassion as arrogance is of  humility and greed is of gratitude.  I've 
thought of obliviousness,  unconsciousness, numbness, ignorance?  My using  
care-less-ness was really a take off on what John McKnight describes in  his 
book The Careless Society.  None of these completely  does it for me, so give 
me some help here.  What would be the  opposite, or antithesis, of 
compassion?  Would appreciate your  insight.  Anyone else care to jump in on this?
 
Randy
