Session 89 - Two Negatively Polarizing Wanderers

[Louisabell]

I think there is room for both types of service. Who knows, maybe redchartreuse has spiritual contract agreements with these people, with pre-incarnation conversations going something like:
"Hey would you mind bumping into me sometime down there and give me one if those zen slaps because I'm struggling with this lesson, it's been dragging on for a few life-times and I got to find a way to get out of this funk."
"OK, but how direct do you want me to be?"
"Oh be as direct as you can be".
"Are you sure? I mean things get pretty tough down there, remember?"
"Don't worry, I need some real tough love on this one".

So maybe the zen slap is a specialty of service. If so, I would recommend to not expect any specific result. Also be prepared to have anger directed at yourself. Call it an occupational hazard.

Having said that, while most spiritual transformations come with some insight, the information contained within is not that hard to come by. Instead the main difference I see between those that are growing and those that are asleep is motivation. When I think of those types of catalyst that have given me the fuel to want to be a better version of myself, I think of the various encounters in my life where friends, service providers and even complete strangers showed me an inordinate amount of kindness and respect. Maybe it's a certain ethic they uphold, a gentle touch or even just a really sincere loving smile, and you are reminded, oh I have worth, oh there are people out there who care, oh there are pockets of heaven here on Earth what can I do to join?

So in my opinion, the far greater service in general is acting with an open heart in total loving acceptance. And sure, people may take advantage, but I guess that's another occupational hazard.
