If the part of the Intelligence that is the big "I" has designed these lessons having to do with cars and their use, then I must be really hard on myself! 
Over the past month, I had many problems with my old car, resulting in its eventual breakdown and the necessity to get a new one. For two and a half weeks I dealt with red ray frustration of not having the ability to be mobile; and yellow ray difficulty realizing that we are all a group. During that time I had to find rides, calling up old friends that I hadn't spoken to in awhile just to ask them for a ride. This strengthened the connections of friendship, and brought out the good in their hearts. Having to call on the help of many others really made me realize that I am no savior. I can't wake up the population of earth by myself! I must ask for help from my brothers and sisters of earth! If we're going to get through this shift, we've got to all be in the game together.
After two agonizing weeks, I picked up a new beater. (all I could afford)
This one runs! But in the same week that I got it, many electrical components have gone out. Just as a final test to myself I suppose, a couple of days ago the car didn't start. I needed a simple jump. There was no-one around so once more I was "forced" to ask for help, this time from strangers!
Lessons learned... people have so much good in their hearts. In the coming years they will learn very much about themselves and about that selfless good and what it means. When provided with the opportunity, most people will in fact take the selfless course of helping others, sacrificing their time and effort with no reward to self.
I also should watch my ego and make sure it's not sinking into the role of savior, no matter how slight. I didn't realize I was associating having a car and the ability to get around at will with my ability to offer service. Having the car taken out from under me and having to ask for help from friends and strangers helped me to discover two things. Firstly, I don't need anything at all to be of service. And secondly, I rely on the others of my species and community for their love just as much as they are relying on me for mine.
And to top it all off, sitting in the car with an old friend or acquaintance for a ride is a very good area for developing blue ray open communication and sharing! Seeing and feeling the level of communication that they are at now and where it's coming from; and sharing yourself, your story, and communicating with them.
Glorious.
