Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of compassion for self and others blurs our perception. We can choose to either fight our nature or go with it. There is no better time than now to begin looking at ourselves and others through the eyes of compassion. In reading this book, your subconscious will be opened, guiding you to parts of self you may have forgotten. It allows all of what you are to come forward in its authenticity, creating a philosophy and habit of acceptance, holding you as you are in compassion with all your faults, emotions, and grief. A gentle guidance to a place where you are willing to be with oneself and others during peace or pain without needing distraction, The Internal Battle of Compassion was written to help guide the reader to a state of true, unfiltered compassion within oneself. There is no one true solution, no standard formula that will solve all problems. There is only your willingness to stay open to a possibility of authentic change, growth, and an honest connection within self and to the world around you. Questions will be answered, yet more questions will be raised. If your heart stays receptive and mind stays clear, you will be guided to hold compassion for all parts of self and life equally. Before this work was thought of, a vivid dream of an elephant with one tusk burned itself into my memory. A large elephant head with one tusk left me asking questions and searching. Searching for what this may have meant and what it could represent, I was lead to an old Indian symbol of Ganesh. Oblivious to what I was looking for, I found all the answers and teachers I could ever want. Through my journey, I was guided to start writing about these newfound experiences. coming to grips with more and more of myself, I received everything I ever wanted only to find it all to be a representation of the parts of myself I was unable to acknowledge or accept. Not until I was put in a dark corner by life's many lessons could I see myself clearly, and how compassion and the grace of being willing to suffer with oneself would change the way I lived my life, and how each moment is now cherished and not only a means to an end. My journey has become a continuous cycle of expansion in one's mind, body, and soul. Finding acceptance for anything life places in front of me, and to deal with it without resistance or force.
