thanks for sharing Nick!
I jumped around in the video, and couldn't really find this bit. Does it start at a particular timestamp?

back to the thead title though ... I think there's tremendous value in getting one's hands dirty so-to-speak, and being physically involved in helping others. That's not to say all service has to be nitty-gritty, but it can't be discounted either. I just think of the 'physical hardships' that parents must go through in raising their new kids; the sleep loss, the hit on the finances, etc etc. The term 'sacrifice' is sort-of taboo these days, as it's all about respecting yourself, and loving yourself as much as the other ... and yet, I'm sure when you have a newborn, they will no-doubt come first, and any passing needs of the self are relegated to some distant time in the future. So yes, I think there are situations (not all situations, and certainly not permanent), where you do put the other-self ahead of your-self, and it can be considered a 'sacrifice' of your energy, other desires, and other opportunities.
and, of course, there is also the possibility that one can eventually come to the point where you see the other-self as exactly your-self, and so there is no distinction in mind between their needs and your needs. It's just the 'one common need' that needs resolution on.
"The One Being of the creation is like unto a body, if you will accept this third-density analogy.
Would we ignore a pain in the leg? A bruise upon the skin? A cut which is festering? No. There is no ignoring a call. We, the entities of sorrow, choose as our service the attempt to heal the sorrow which we are calling analogous to the pains of a physical body complex distortion."
