You will be guided on what is the best role for you...If you don't have too much responsibilities then it may not be a bad idea to take the plunge and take risks. And follow your heart's desire. If you don't take risks now when will you? The people who really love you and care about you will understand your heart's desire...They will be supportive once they see that your desire is heartfelt and genuine...Let us know how it goes...I've told my parents and closest friends a bit (or those who are willing to listen), but nothing that would inflict on their free will (at least i tried). I feel no fear for myself, only that my loved ones will be worried if i go wander off in the sunset. I'm planning to go on a longer adventure this summer so i'll keep you posted if i leave

Love & Light
I have finally understood the game and i am so eager to play it instead of wasting my time at university to satisfy the people around me, but i guess things will unfold as i go along. Loving everyday i spend with these people though.

You may not see it as clearly because you are continually viewing the situation from your own perspective. But try to put yourself in their head. Their mind is not as calm as yours. They have been frantically thinking and worrying themselves all day, just like we all used to do at one point.
Then, they see you, and even if they just interact with you for a moment, they will react to your presence. It's as if, amidst a sea of suffering, there is this one person who is calm, radiant, selflessly loving to all who they meet. Even if it's just a smile, a true smile that comes from the heart, it will change their thought process. There will be a tiny gap in their incessant stream of thought as they ponder the one who is close to Christ consciousness (even if they have no idea about consciousness or awakening or anything). If they are ready to start on their spiritual path, even just a smile will be a great helper for them. Guide by example. The whole Truth must be expressed by living it. It can't be cut into words to be said or actions to be done.
Remember, being of STO is just that. It's a state of being, not doing. The goal is not about doing something that, as charlie says, will "cut it". The goal is to realize that by entering a selfless state of being, the something that will "cut it" is always being done or in the process of being done. ("By not doing, everything is done." says the Tao Te Ching)
I have observed the same train of thought in regards to wandering, Charlie. I understand what you're saying and have felt the urge to just let it all go and run into the world with love. But I feel to do so would not be trusting in myself 100%. I am here and now for a reason. That reason isn't always necessarily obvious to me at the moment. I may be overlooking something. I should trust my higher self and its guidance. I completely agree with what thefool says. "The love lost in the STS world and then found again. That is what my journey has been about." Find the love in this separated, seemingly loveless society. It will be all the more powerful.
I love you all.
Truly kind words dear friend. I've thought about this a bit and how others who did similar positive things to me when i was still asleep really helped me.
My problem is that im an impatient soul. I want to help and love people, now!
Love & light dear ones
