BENEVOLENCE
Benevolence
Is a verb.
Benevolence takes many forms, and a certain kind of mindset, it is the ability to be confident of who you are, enough to be able to wish to help others. Not in the way you want to help them, but in the way they need help from their needs. It is more important to understand their needs than it is an exercise to make you feel good.
The result being that you take the time to really understand what others need by listening to them tell you what they need from being in a position to offer that assistance without a deficit of your resources too.
Benevolence is a person with a moral virtue of desiring to do good and acting with active goodwill toward others. There are no single universally standardized lists of what constitutes benevolence, yet the concept of a benevolent nature can be generally broken down into 12 core qualities that shape a deeply caring, prosocial, and generous character.
These twelve essential characteristics form the foundation of benevolence:
Compassion:
Deeply understanding another’s suffering and feeling a strong, empathetic drive to alleviate it.
Kindness:
Acting in a gentle, warm, and friendly manner, bringing warmth and consideration to everyday interactions.
Generosity:
Freely sharing your time, energy, attention, or material resources to support those in need.
Altruism:
Unselfishly prioritising the welfare and well-being of others without expecting anything in return.
Forgiveness:
Intentionally choosing to let go of resentment and ill-will toward those who have made mistakes.
Empathy:
The capacity to step into someone else’s shoes and truly relate to their emotions and perspectives.
Patience:
The ability to endure delays, misunderstandings, or difficult behaviour from others with a calm and understanding spirit.
Tolerance:
Accepting and respecting the beliefs, differences, and backgrounds of others without judgment or prejudice.
Humility:
A grounded, egoless approach to doing good, where helping others is done quietly rather than for praise or recognition.
Supportiveness:
Actively encouraging others and providing a safe, reliable foundation to help them reach their goals.
Gratitude:
Expressing sincere appreciation for the contributions, love, and presence of the people around you.
Love:
The overarching goodwill that holds a deep, genuine desire for the flourishing and happiness of all living beings.
Together, these traits empower individuals to foster stronger relationships and contribute to a healthier, more collaborative community. For more insights into the psychological benefits of these actions.
Benevolence is not Kindness
Very evil beings are capable of relenting and being kind to someone they take favour upon. It does not mean they are kind people, just that sometimes they are not always being evil. So even in kindness you can have a type of cruelty too. You can punish all the prisoners but take kindness on one, knowing that all the other prisoners will hate the one who is “teacher’s pet”, so enabling discrimination and teaching others to hate the “teachers’ favourite” and put them in a disliked position. So, kindness is not an indicator of goodness. Many evil entities use “kindness” as a form of emotional manipulation.
Also, kindness is depending on the one being “kind” to another, so for example a being who is Benevolent, would use kindness as a thing to heal another person, or help and benefit them in some way without seeking reward for helping.
The “BE” in Benevolence
Being, as you are, just being who you are, just having a sense of morals and ethics, a loving kind heart but not one to suffer fools or manipulators. It is a state of mind that creates the state of BEing.
So the feeling of benevolence is like you are feeling like a king or queen, a god or goddess, but not believing you are a king or queen, a god or goddess. It’s the mindset of thinking what they would do or behave like.
Benevolence is not coming from a place of arrogance or measure, nor is it coming from a place of judgement that you are superior and that you help less superiors, no because that is still in ego and from a place of serving self.
Being in the state or mindset of a benevolent being is more about knowing your own gifts well, and where you can share them without seeking anything other than gain or benefit of the other you are sharing your gifts with.
It is also not about forcing your gifts, it’s more about allowing people the option of knowing about them and knowing you are happy to share your gifts with them, if they do choose but also happy if your gifts are not employed.
You are in charge of you. It is your job to know yourself and the skills, talents and gifts that you have been naturally gifted with. Each person has their own set of superpowers that they can apply to themselves and their own lives first. Then after proof of concept in practice and experience, you can then make those available to others and share.
Not everyone will understand that people who they don’t know love them and wish they thrive, but there are. Many people naturally carry the ability to be benevolent and apply it daily in their lives. You don’t have to be a deity or a god-like being because those attributes are also within you too.
Benevolent as F
Sometimes being benevolent means that you can also be a kick-ass warrior of light. Some situations require good as a force to defend or protect others, or to remove the malevolence and dangers. Being benevolent doesn’t mean you have to be all fluffy bunny-kins. You can be a guardian Angel for example.
Acts of Influence and Benefit
Being benevolent is kinda stealth too. It’s like being an undercover rockstar, you secretly know it to yourself and are using it in an undercover way. To insert a little light here and there in conversation. It’s the little things that people do, offering up a potato chip, buying someone something they need but didn’t ask you for, thinking ahead for someone in their shoes, making a cuppa, helping a stranger with directions etc. All sorts of ways to make other people’s day that little bit lighter.
So being benevolent is a verb, it’s a thing you do, it’s a behaviour that comes from you and not anyone else. It is your ability to take on that sort of mindset to help others.
On a more technical quantum physics and quantum entanglement level, the universe, Source, god, creation, is squeezing you into being, as a fountain of collapsed potential continually imploding and emerging out as light in your own electromagnetic bubble. You literally are made of electrons and photons, packets of light. You can use that inner power source and light within you to shine on others. Not in an over dramatic movie sense with angels and a choir singing in the background, but more like choosing where to place your attention and kindness in the world and in the interactions and relationships formed. You have benevolence within you; it’s one of your gifts to the world.
