The hard part is knowing what you desire and keeping your focus toward that goal all along. Good luck to you.
Retreating inwards to indulge in raising my own vibration, isn’t that service-to-self? Service-to-others would involve being active in the real world, perhaps helping at a soup kitchen, caring for the sick in a rough neighbourhood, helping out at a local charity (or a zillion other possibilities). But what I was trying to get at is that by expropriating the wealth of the fifty richest families, international development scholars estimate we could feed and educate all of Africa for 10 years. Wouldn’t genuine democratic socialism with liberty for all be service-to-others enforced by law? Wouldn’t wealth redistribution be the ultimate form of service-to-others? Of course pretty much all forms of communism up to this point in human history are failed projects. That is, they created more misery and oppression than they solved. But I like what Bill Gates and the UN have done together. If only Bill’s benevolent, successful efforts were increased by 10 or 100 fold, we could eradicate poverty. It’s possible. Bernie Sanders was close. Ron Paul in 2008 was close to liberating the Third World from the global debt collectors. With the internet and social media syndicates we have come to know and love, me and the cohort of my generation are gonna achieve some positive, remarkable things in the 21st century.
Here is Ra’s reply when asked about the issue of starvation in Africa at 42.8:
Quote:Questioner: Then why do we have the extreme starvation problem in, generally, in the area of Africa at this time? Is this, is there any metaphysical reason for this, or is it purely random occurrence?
Ra: I am Ra. Your previous assumption was correct as to the catalytic action of this starvation and ill health. However, it is within the free will of an entity to respond to this plight of other-selves, and the offering of the needed foodstuffs and substances is an appropriate response within the framework of your learn/teachings at this time which involve the growing sense of love for and service to other-selves.
