Helping Others 8-14-08

8-14-08

This has been a very enlightening month for me. I admit I am still disappointed in the personal progress many have made, or the lack there of. I understand that it is their choice, at least to those who realize that there is a choice to be made. Not to choose is, in itself, a choice. I realize that it is not my place to approve or disapprove of their choices, however I also understand that each individual choice affects everyone on this planet and in turn the entire Universe. Due to this fact, it is my responsibility, my duty and my honor, to make a positive difference where I can, even if it is only to try to get others to think for themselves, and to know there is more to think about than their own little worlds. Also I know that Free Will is a gift to each of us individually, and that no one has the right to interfere with the choices that we make, unless it is to protect the free will of another. How to guide another entity toward a more positive outcome, without interfering, was the question.

Patience of course is part of the answer, that in time others might see...but time, now is limited in this dimension. Time of course is one of those Material Laws that only exists as we know it on this plane, in this dimension. Our concept of "Time" does not exist else where in the Universe, and therefor is truly not as important as we have imagined it to be. However, here is where my spirit presently resides, and I would like each of us to make the best of the imaginary time and space that we have left.

I feel, of course, as we probably all do, that I have come so far, and tried for so long, and learned so very much, that I should be able to share the benefit of my vast knowledge, and due to that knowledge, I have the right to teach others with less understanding. Hahahaaaa. Oh if it were only true, and I wish it were. Number one of course, is that I have no right to try to teach anyone anything. All of us have the right to try to learn, but not to teach. Number two is the fact, that I could be totally wrong. Just because a child of 10, has vastly more experience than say, a 5 year old, does not mean that they are able to properly guide them to a fulfilling adulthood. My progression back to Universal Oneness is still very much in its infancy. Yes, I have what I feel is an understanding, which is growing daily, as it should be, when one is on an earnest quest for truth. However in that quest for truth, both good and bad, there is also the profound knowledge that I have a very long way to go, as do we all who are here at this particular space in our evolution.

To allow anyone, no matter how lost, to believe, or even to think for a moment that I have real "answers" to anything would in itself be a lie and an injustice. That enlightened, I definitely am not. Nor will I be for what is probably a googleplex of what we consider years, and then only if I am on the right path to find those truths. Whewwww, that made me wonder if I knew anything at all. But lost I am not! Lost is not searching. Lost is sitting still, waiting to be found. Lost is not knowing that there is a light to be found in the darkness. I am not lost! The Infinite Intelligence of the Universe knows exactly where I am, there for I am not lost. Do I know how to get home from here, not exactly, but all paths lead to the same place eventually. Some just take a lot longer than others. If our journeys were too short, we woulden't have time to learn anything along the way, and come home empty handed. Also, not ideal.

Back to the original question of helping others along the way, without imposing my will, or interfering with theirs. I have decided that it is acceptable for me to offer what help I can, to assist with the needs or desires of another. If, and only if, someone asks for me to share my understanding with them, that they may better decide for themselves, what path to take, then I may do so. I can even let someone know that I may have thoughts that could be different than theirs, and that I am willing to share those thoughts if they are interested in the ideas of another. Then, at that point, I have done all I can, and must wait for them to come to me. It is for me only to let them know that there is an open door with unselfish love inside, but they must enter on their own, and be free to leave when they choose. I, on the other hand must be ready and able to simply let go, if they choose other wise. The time and effort I choose to invest in any one entity is not their problem, it was my choice, of my own free will. They must not be held accountable for any unfulfilled desires on my part. Other than this, the only thing I may do, is to show by example, the greatness of unselfish love. I also must be wise enough to only open the door to those who are truly seeking the Law of One, even if they don't know the name, and to know the difference. To open myself to those who want to learn to also give and be of service to others, and realize, as much as I wish otherwise, that there are many who are just not ready, and must find another path.

Truly, I think the path I have chosen to be the right one, and it is, for me. If I did not believe this to be true, surely I would have forsaken this path for another by now, as this is a difficult road to travel. The further I get, the greater the obstacles, but greater are the rewards also. There are much easier paths to take, and since they all lead to the same destination, the temptation to take a less strenuous way is sometimes a desire, albeit a shortly lived one. I do not want it to take an eternity to get to where I am going. I only want to spend an eternity wrapped in the loving warmth. I can rest when I get home.
