Dear Agony Aunt.... from a broke Wanderer

[Unbound]

Dear Agony Aunt,

I was told that to ascend, I must work on myself.

This I did. I gave up three-quarters of my business, turned down consulting assignments, and talked to people about ascension, service-to-others, how one creates one’s own destiny, etc. I was also involved in two charity projects. I believed by doing all these, I would be on the right path to ascension.

In early 2012, I was broke. I had hardly enough money to feed my family and pay the mortgage. To make ends meet, I borrowed money from a friend.

When I did not ascend, I was told that I did not work on myself enough to ascend.

My question is how much is enough?

In Jan 2013, I was totally lost and even thought of applying for bankruptcy.

In March 2013, I went back to work, rebuilt my business, and stopped my involvement in charity projects. By October 2013, I made enough to pay back the money my friend loaned me.

Aunt, I need your advice.

Should I go back and do what I thought was the correct path – helping and teaching others (service-to-others), or should I just continue what I am doing now – helping myself more than others (service-to-self)?

The former has led me to near bankruptcy and I can tell you that it is no fun being poor. If I go with the latter, it’s unlikely that I will meet the 51% STO mark for graduation.

Love,

Broke Wanderer

Why not use your business knowledge to be of service to others? Making money is not a self serving act really because money is always then spent. Also, it is only ever used in interaction with other self. It is the spending that is the polarization. You do not have to starve yourself or be poor to be of service to others and in fact when you are abundant in resources you have more with which to power your endeavours in service. The choice is yours what you use your power for and the way it manifests may not be what is expected by others. You can use all that you possess for good without the need to cut yourself in half, trust in your heart and mind and the spirit that permeates your soul.
