It is rare that Spirit Teaching or CRs mention “compassion” and the Plejaren may not mention it at all.
Yet, a person who lives on (and cannot leave) this planet, who sees the turmoil and crude violation of human dignity, who witnesses the inequalities and suffering into which many people are born - he may well develop an empathy or compassion for the suffering people he witnesses. Even more so if he follows Petale’s directive to live with equalized-ness and deference for all beings and considers Billy's / Petale's advice that, to evolve. all human beings are prone to make mistakes (1).
But it should be said that my writing about the “Evolution of a Prison Planet”
http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/13/15104.html#POST80121
is a product of my own thinking.
It is based on the method by which Asael and Semjasa and their followers were/are able to quicker balance their grave mistakes
CR 191:53. “… But in order to be able to change everything, it was also necessary that everyone would change themselves into the thinking of the Earth-humans …”

**My Thought: **
Compassion may lessen the many imbalances of our planet and lessen the aggressiveness of our "eye for an eye" planet .
But this thought is not a part of the Spirit Teaching. In effect, if I recall Billy correctly, he once stated that one should follow the creational laws and that it should be his own decision if, when and where (s)he would employ compassion though on other occasions he mentions it in a positive manner:

Compassion in Other Literature
Classic Greek and Roman Thought (2)
Only some of the ancient thinkers mention it as a virtue. For example, Socrates argued that compassion was a form of knowledge that enabled us to understand ourselves and others better, and to act in accordance with justice and virtue. However, Plato distrusted compassion as a dangerous and irrational passion that could cloud the judgment of the rulers and the guardians of the ideal city. Aristotle considered compassion as a means between excessive pity and indifference, and as a component of friendship and magnanimity.
Cicero regarded compassion as a natural bond that united all human beings, and as a source of benevolence, generosity and clemency. Seneca viewed compassion as a rational and noble emotion that tempered anger and cruelty, and as a manifestation of humanity and wisdom.
But Stoics such as Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius advised avoiding compassion as a form of attachment and suffering that disturbed the tranquility of the mind.
Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tse and many religions highly value a compassionate mind.
In more modern times:
Schopenhauer valued compassion ("... the alleviation of suffering of others is the ultimate goal of morality") but Nietzsche condemned it as a symptom of decadence and nihilism, and as an obstacle to the affirmation of life and the will to power whereas Einstein saw it as form of freeing oneself from the optical delusion of being ‘separated from the rest’:
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Gandhi:
“…(If I have to be reborn) I should be born as an untouchable, so that I may share their sorrows, sufferings, and their affronts, so that I may endeavour to free myself and them from that miserable condition …”

(1) Excerpt from the Billy’s book ‘Genesis’
- So, you thus realize, human being, that you can only carry out your evolution – in accordance with the laws and recommendations and therefore unavoidably - by making mistakes, because it is only through the making of mistakes that you can learn and recognize the truth, then it will also become clear to you, that you thereby do not burden yourself with any lasting guilt.
- So if you therefore commit mistakes (relative guilt = relative sin) in this life, you atone for them with the resulting harm and by making amends, whereby you therefore again become innocent, guiltless and ‘atonement-free’, whereby you at the same time acquire as well the knowledge about the mistake (the guilt/atonement), thus completing the lesson through the affliction, through which you learn, not to commit the error again, that means, that you, through the recognition and correction of the mistake, will not commit it another time and progress in your evolution.
(2) We know that some Greek and Roman literature / inventions (and the Renaissance which was based on the discovery of these ancient scripts) may indirectly and to some degree have been inspired by the Atlantean scripts from the Lib. Of Alexandria http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/14/14199.html#POST76862
