Making Money

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edward Burke

I think this is really it, I have to stop thinking that I am somehow evil and I just don't know it and accept that I actually am a good person with good intentions. This quote and idea has been coming up more and more in my mind lately, there are so many good people in the world but so many of them feel there is no need, or it's not their responsibility, to "do" something about the state of the world.

I'm realizing I'm not one of those people who can just sit by and float through my own life and not make use of the goodness I know I have. I think that makes the difference between someone who has a good heart and loves unconditionally, and someone who sees that goodness as a reason to do something. Not that either is better or worse, but there are different kinds of people. I am learning that I am a man of action, and I agree that I think money would just make those elements of myself much more apparent.

I have given myself a duty in this life, not taken or given by anybody else, but a choice I have consciously made in this life. I live to be of service. I won't always be right and I won't always be effective, but I will live my life dedicated to lifting up others wherever is possible, with or without money.

That being said, I have a good feeling I could do a lot of lifting with some more resources...

Tanner, if we took a forum consensus, I'm 100% certain "evil" would never be one of the descriptors used for you. I also think others would agree that you are one of the more service (to others!) oriented people that radiates your being. You answer calls here on the forums with regularity. You work on your own consciousness diligently. If there's one essence of the Law of One that is important that I try to get to sink in more often, it's not what we DO, but who we ARE. Passively radiating your wisdom and knowingness is worth much more than any activity you can facilitate with money. "Give a man a fish/teach a man to fish..."

That's not to say any "action" is worthless. If you feel called to act, wonderful!! You are so young and even if you spend years being introverted and learning about yourself before you turn it into action then I think you are still being efficient.

If positive Wanderers had all the money, the game would be over. This is probably a big reason the majority of us have a "block" here. I think when you have a lot of money and start giving it away, there are free will ramifications to consider. Seeking out entities to minister to is much less efficient than just letting those who need your help cross your path. I know if I'm open and ready and asking for service, someone will appear who can utilize the resources I already have, even if it's just a smile, or a couple bucks to cover the rest of their grocery bill.
