Examples of Humane Beings

Intelligent Compassion Working to End Needless Suffering

by Stephen Cocconi with Guidance from the Consortium

 

All of these people have acted in ways that are both selfless and yet working to be the best Selves they can become. None of these people are saints, nor did many of them seek fame, yet they have demonstrated a courage to be active, present, public, and contributing to the benefit of the human condition, not Ego aggrandizement nor wealth hoarding indulgence.

They were REAL (authentically vulnerable and principally genuine) Mature Adults...even in the case of the youngest mentioned (Anne Frank and Greta Thunberg).

Their high Vibration and deep integrity itself represents attractors of both visibility and meaningfully achievements. The Consortium has selected these examples for readers here to grasp the potency of their resonance and realize the vast difference of origins each have had. Ironically, those most opposed to these lights represent the opposite side of the Vibrational spectrum, (left unnamed here), since they recognized the reflections of themselves which they have fear of and therefore project hate outward. Humane Beings attract negative attention since they shine a light upon it for healing.

Humane Beings generally cross through a crucible of personal reckoning and transcended it into a fuller expression of themselves. Every person has the capacity to reach for this within themselves by going beyond themselves. Yet most never see beyond their own pain or biases and thus hide themselves in shame or fear and hence fail to turn the bulk of their attention, or potency of being, to the outside world and to those who need them. Such actions, even in small increments will move the human animal away from being mere reactive hominids and into conscious actors.
