The meditation group which I attend have been continuing to discuss the Brahmavirhara. It's getting a bit clearer to me, thanks to those discussions and the posts in this thread -thank you folks.

The way I'm looking at it now is that I start with myself. I want to develop those four aspects of myself and how I look at the rest of the world, combining or selecting metta, karuna, mudita and uppekha, whatever is required at the time.

On top of that, I have to remember to be kind to myself, show metta to myself as well as wishing it to others.

I haven't yet listened to the Ajahn Sumedo talk posted by Aloka-D in the previous post. Maybe I'll go and do that now...
