Service


Much has been posted here recently regarding the occult side of life (the word "occult" does not mean "evil".  It is a Latin word meaning "hidden"). Although it is critically important that we intelligently Seek true Knowledge, what is equally important is that we do not forget the following:

Selfless service-to-others is the highest duty one can undertake.

Selfless service raises the vibration of the one who serves. It opens a channel for Divine Energies to infiltrate the physical plane. Each time we give, we do God's Will by serving as His representatives here on Earth. By way of analogy, we are reminded that the Sun, the physical vehicle of a Great Spirit, showers its life-giving rays on saint and sinner alike.

There's a crazy sort of alchemy that takes place when we give unselfishly and serve selflessly. Imperceptibly, the negative dross that has fogged and clouded our aura begins to dissolve. Perhaps better words for it are transmute or sublimate. The lower, gross vibrations that have been so much a part of us are sublimated and slowly transmuted to something higher, something finer.

Like attracts like. As we build finer substances into our aura, we will also begin to attract higher vibrations. The process is a gradual one, but one that increases exponentially, as in 2, 4, 16, 256 etc. This is known as the Law of Squares and is one of the natural benefits of working with, rather than against Divine Will. Not only do we attract these higher energies, thereby assisting in the purification of our vehicles but, in time, if we remain consecrated to selfless service, we will also begin to radiate these higher vibrations, as well. This radiation of higher energies can be beneficial to those  in our immediate proximity, if they can assimilate them. The phenomenon can be effected without either party being aware of the interaction.

But we're jumping the gun here. The first step is to re-focus our lives, to change our approach to others, no matter who they may appear to be (for we are all just "souls playing roles"). Instead of asking "what does this person want from me?", or "why is this person being mean to me?", or "I'm afraid of this person because the media says that I should be", ask instead "is there anything i can do in this moment that would be of service to this soul?". The answer could be something as simple as a smile, or giving up your place in line, or not responding to mean and hurtful words in kind, or providing comfort and support to a troubled soul. Although this is the tiniest of lists, all of the foregoing qualifies as significant forms of service. Here, the word "significant" is used because there is no such thing as an insignificant, or unimportant act of true, selfless service. 

True selfless service doesn't have to be something grandiose, like running off to the jungles of Peru to help the natives build a water fountain. Simple forms of service can be very powerful, as long as they are done without any hint of self-intent. Don't serve because it "makes me feel good". Don't serve because "I am trying to improve the quality of my aura". Serve because it is the right thing to do. Serve because it is the way things are done when Divinity takes a hand in the affairs of men. This is The Way of the New World that is now being born. Any side benefits will come about naturally as a result of our service, do not look for them. Upon receipt of any gifts bestowed upon us as a by-product of a life of service, we must be sure to remember to use whatever powers we are blessed with in order to better serve our brethren. Thus an unending cycle of Giving is established here on the physical plane.

These are special times. Those who are alert, intuitive, spiritually aware, emotionally calm and mentally clear can make sharp and significant strides in these Last Days. The point is to be prepared and to be in position when the cosmic clock strikes The Hour. If we have done all that we could have to assist in the success of The Divine Plan there will be nothing to fear. We will be ready for the next phase of our world service - the long-anticipated unification of dedicated and like-minded Servers whose global linkage will be used by the Divine to help usher in a new age of Unity on Earth.

There are those who will resist making this change. They will choose to turn their service inward, and continue to serve themselves. These immature unfortunates will have made their choice to spend countless future ages in ignorance, suffering and darkness.

Be advised that there is no middle ground. There is service-to-others and then there's service-to-self. Only one of these modes of living can lead man out of eons of darkness into the light of the divine kingdom.

The Choice is clear.

Serve.
