I have searched and muddled over this as well, and am often mentally reminded of the saying, when in a difficult circumstance "where's the love in this moment". It occurred to me, truly, that sometimes I am the love in the moment, and I am now working on expressing that ESPECIALLY in difficult circumstances. It is really taking practice, and there are plenty of opportunities to be of service in this one way.
Thank you Bring4th Monica for posting that session from the Q'ou! It really is beautiful,
Quote: I had this seemingly random thought on my commute into work a day or two ago... And it was sort of a continuation from a previous concern I had perhaps a year or two earlier. The concern was, "How in the heck can I be of service to people who are awakening?" After all, I hardly see myself as an authority on this subject, as I can only parrot things I remember and offer my own slant on interpreting what I encounter. In addition, it seemed there would be PLENTY of others who are more committed to meditation, more in touch with themselves, more ready to be a listener and to help people through the changes.
But then it dawned on me... I never took into consideration the Internet! When Bring4th was launched and people began reaching out with questions, I began to see a growing wave of opportunity to be of service all over the place! And as things get a little crazier in the coming years as more catalyst presents itself (according to Q'uo's above text), it doesn't seem we STO individuals will have to go lifting any rocks to find ways in which to help!
So I felt really good that my chances to be of service jumped considerably when factoring in the whole social networking bit. I do understand that being in service is seen as qualitative rather than quantitative, but I am referring more to satisfying my heart's desire to be of service and not knowing how to do it at the level I feel is right.
The above quotes from Q'uo really helped me drag that out into the open again and get some much needed resolve.
