Healing the World

[Diana]

Personally, I tend to agree with Confederation sources who aver that healing the self is healing the world.

 
I agree. And I see this concept as the the first giant step. But you will notice that the Confederation helps others in many ways.

Now, healing is not the same as fixing.  You can amend or repeal gun laws, for example, but healing is a much deeper affair.  The guy in the video asks why we have created a society which has so much cruelty.  Well, the rarity of healing, in a spiritual sense, and the paucity of deep love could have something to do with it.

I agree here as well.

But there is the adjacent concept—that of being of service (such as what the Confederation does or Ra bringing the message of the LOO). Healing the self is being of service to the all, but there can be more to add in service. Without trying to fix anyone or anything, one can still be kind, be honest, accountable, and responsible with relationships including the work environment, and more. Perhaps most of these things go back to healing the self, but there is an awareness that develops from self-honesty and self-knowledge and accepting the self, and that is empathy for others. You can still have empathy for others even if you are not healed and totally messed up, but I think the quality of that empathy changes when there are fewer unhealed places within self, making the empathy less tainted with sometimes unconscious self-interest. And maybe this lines up with the following:

This may sound like a small thing in comparison to the ubiquity of "lovelessness," but it feels good to the spirit complex to be in love with the self and to love others.  Okay, it's a bit harder than it sounds, but the rewards redound far beyond the individual, so they say.
