Are We Really Here Now to Help?

[kilaya]

I am grateful to read this very thoughtful and compassionate thread. I think it is very honorable and beneficial to even ask the question, 'Can I do more?' There may not be a time when that question becomes no longer relevant either because we've ascended so high or the world has stooped so low. I feel like I was born with a desire to serve others but I have learned very painful lessons when my efforts to serve caused me to disregard or discredit my own principles, adopting other's principles in order to create a bridge on which I can walk towards them, meet them where they are and offer them something that they value.

The price each time was very high and minimized what I had left energetically to offer the next time such an opportunity came around. It has been hard for me to fully accept the law of free will and choice that functions on a soul level and all its implications for how to view suffering in this world now and the increased suffering that may be ahead for many. But when I am able to contemplate and accept this principle I lose, not my compassion, but the anxiety I feel around the issue of helping others. It has also helped me to develop a compassionate indifference that is free of anxious fear in regards to all those who resist spiritual laws and continue to choose to act out of greed, lust, aggression and fear. From that place of contented compassion I can remember to keep praying for the welfare of all beings everywhere and still remember to enjoy the bliss of Perfect Loving Oneness.
