It's not fatiguing at all to follow the Spirit but if you have service ideas,
like you're doing service for a future end or you're doing service for somebody else,
or you're doing service because you think the world is in need.
The world's not in need, it's the sleeping mind
that's in great need, the world's just a reflection of belief
so there's no real need in the world.
I wasn't ever going to different countries because I think, thought that those countries needed me.
I was going there for my benefit, for my mind benefit to open up to the Holy Spirit.
I used to read that and certain groups would say, well
so and so in The Middle East is really bad, let's beam light.
You know to these poor people over in Ethiopia or the conflict in The Middle East in Syria.
This is like... What's all that beaming light stuff about? You know,
how arrogant, do you think you're just sitting over in America,
so holy and we're Just going to beam light, over to these poor people with... You know.
Beam light to the Middle East, yeah the Middle East.
That's Where Khalil Gibran came from you know, maybe you should open Rumi,
maybe you should open some of their books and soak in a little bit of that light before you beam it to these
lacking countries and lacking cultures you know, open your mind.
You know, and then all the stuff about being sent out as
missionaries or messengers, you know, of Light to try to go to what?
Supposed to heal the ones that lost their way, no it's all for us.
This is what the Inspiration is, it's all for us to have a transformation of consciousness, to know the love and light ourselves.
It's not about fixing anybody, changing anybody. So it takes a bit of washing away and a lot of the ideas of
service is, its service for those that are less advantaged. Who set that up?
Who set this world of advantaged and disadvantaged up?
And who am I or who is anyone to point a finger at somebody
and say you are disadvantaged but
by God's Grace I'm going to come and help you out. I'm going to lend... reach down and lend a helping hand.
I remember this saying I used to hear, you know.
Pointing the finger at somebody and saying but for the Grace of God, there go I. I used to think how arrogant.
To point a finger at somebody and say but for the Grace of God there go I.
Talk about superiority, you Know it's more like
coming to a divine sense that your brothers and sisters are literally who you are.
And seeing them in fullness and wholeness and completion and saying, thanks to the Grace of God, there go I.
Thanks to the Grace of God I can see them as whole and complete.
I can see a world without problems. I can see that if I am healed the whole world is healed with me.
I can see that if I am happy, the whole world must be happy too
because there's no world apart from my mind.
And who would we want to be a part of the system where you could be happy and
others could be suffering or you could be enlightened and others could be unenlightened, you know that's why
we have our big dance Party and we dance together.
We circle dance, we dance, we wiggle, we're in the joy of The Spirit together.
Because, we are the same and we're feeling the sameness
of The Spirit, the Spirit unifies us, so to me this is so so important, that
we're letting go of these personal concepts and
in the end all Service is really self service.
We didn't get to watch that movie 'The Way of the Peaceful Warrior'
but at the very end
Socrates the teacher he goes back there and there's nobody at the service station.
It's suddenly a self-serve
station at the end of all this work with this teacher.
I mean the symbols in that are amazing but you cannot burn out if you see that all
service is capital S - Self. It's Christ Service, its service to yourself.
It's extending the love and light of Christ and by extending it, it's the most natural
experience you could ever have, because you are created to extend love.
And when you're extending love you feel the joy of that original creation.
So it's really beautiful and it's really simple but the ego has just tried to make up a lot of other
concepts to try to mix in, inject in too throw us off track.
And forgiveness is always a, gift to yourself, you're really never forgiving anybody else.
You're Just pulling and releasing these crazy concepts from your consciousness that don't belong there and
you're giving a gift to yourself and to everyone but you're not, like
saying, well God made me holy so I have the power to forgive you for your sins.
You know, it's forgive your brother for what he has not done, see the misperception in mind and release it from mind.
That's really how you take the enemy, pluck the enemy out of your mind.
Don't point the finger at the enemy as if they're in form.
Because it just shows you that you believe in grievances if you're pointing fingers at enemies in form.
It's cool, it's good stuff, it's healing, it's ah yes!
