Q'uote of the Day

"There is within many seekers the desire to make a difference in the world, to help others and serve good causes. Yet, in that same general run of seekers there is often a prejudice against working on the self, for it seems selfish to be absorbed in the processes of the self. It is our opinion that it is in healing yourself that you heal the world. It is in learning to love yourself that you learn to love others. It is in finding compassion at last for yourself that you are finally able to have compassion on others. It is in blessing your own suffering by respecting it, honoring it, and forgiving it in yourself that you become able to behold the suffering of the world in its massive and almost infinite depth."

There is two parts to there, first initially service to others path logically one would assume would start by doing good deeds for others not moreso on working on oneself which perhaps would come later. However quote talks on why this may not be.. eg "healing yourself that you heal the world"
2nd avenue.. well being a favourite quote(well among many!) had to include this Law of One quote
80.11 Questioner: Could I say, then, that implicit in the process of becoming adept is the seeming polarization towards service to self because the adept becomes disassociated with many of his kind?
Ra: I am Ra. This is likely to occur. The apparent happening is disassociation whether the truth is service to self and thus true disassociation from other-selves or service-to-others and thus true association with the heart of all other-selves and disassociation only from the illusory husks which prevent the adept from correctly perceiving the self and other-self as one.
The key distinction being association, having an understanding of the concept helps unravel and paint a clearer picture of Service to others.. That reorientation from only associating with the illusory husks of this illusion and other selfs, to more associating with the heart of all serves. True service comes from connecting with the heart. So to put it bluntly, focusing on the heart you wont focus on the illusion as much
Of course disclaimer, each has a unique path set out for this incarnation so this is not a rule of thumb!
