Are we supposed to be helping ourselves or helping the world?

[zvonimir]

I spend a lot of my time in contemplation, sometimes meditation.

I wonder about sending love out into the world. Or visualizing that I am giving the whole world a hug and feeling warm fuzzies.

Are we here to just raise the vibration of the Earth to help it ascend into 4D?

Or are we here to mainly work on ourselves, work through our catalyst, and our karma, and raise our own vibration?

I know both is an easy answer, but what's a good way to spend a lot of time if we don't work and we don't really want to go out?
I don't do too well in crowds. I'm not horrible, but I prefer being alone. Or maybe with one friend which has been awhile.

"When we live our life contrary to the inner guidance of our Soul, our actions often have a disharmonious effect upon ourselves, others and the Earth. This is why the evolution of individual human consciousness is intimately linked with the future of this planet. In light of this, the crisis of all physical illness, emotional imbalance and planetary upheaval has but one ultimate purpose: to provide an opportunity that will motivate us to realign our body, mind and emotions with the infinite love, wisdom and healing of our Soul. Therefore, whenever we gather the courage to do whatever it takes to end the war within, we contribute directly and immediately to our own healing and transformation as well as to the peace that our world cries out for."
