I'd like to ask for clarification about something you said, regarding STS "gurus" "life coach" "healers" "mediums" "motivational speaker" seeking monetary gain. Does this mean that charging for service in those areas render it invalid for STO?
I'm only asking as I'm contemplating a career path where I can somehow aid people, but am very weary about charging for my services. If that is the case, how does one sustain themselves physically without feeling like they're ripping people off?
- Hello Happy Tears,
Thank you for your comment and light,
To answer your query without infringing your freewill, I must first request that you seek the "balance" in your own definition and understanding of "exchange" for your service. I understand the "job/living" system that exist on this planet creates a confusion on where the line is drawn between "selfish and selfless."
Using myself for example, in my own understanding, "helping" others, doesn't require me to make it into a job, to have a heart-to-heart conversation with other-selves is a "service" or "helping"
Now while doing this, I get thirsty, then I drink water because I have been talking to the other-selves. That is what I need, for "sustaining" my own comfort and existence.
Without going deeper, I hope you find some introspection from my words.
A career, is like a hunter going out to hunt and brings food home, so he/she and his/her family can survive. But to go out and help his/her neighbor to build a house or watch over the dog etc. etc. That is a service to others.
I hope this helps,
To further understanding this, I would recommend you to reach out to Gary Fung at https://plenumhealer.wordpress.com/
and brings your curiosity/insight on how he provides his services-to-others. He is a genuinely gentle soul, he won't bite ;]
And with that, as always, With Love and Light Happy tears.
