And just to get it straight, YES I agree that posting on this site CAN be an act of service. I have met a number of people who have helped me quite a bit on this site. Agua and Reaper especially. Agua even posted some useful stuff in THIS thread.
But I DON'T think the stuff they post on this site is the service EITHER is best suited for. I think it is ONE aspect of their service.
So do I agree contributing on the forum is a service? Yes. Do I think it's a good idea to say "This might be the BEST service you're suited for"? No.
Also, I am aware laziness can be a virtue of efficiency, but that is NOT what I am talking about and that is NOT the problem I am seeing with your assertion as you worded it. I didn't read your post and think to myself "Oh! She's promoting making things easy and time efficient! That's No true service"
I thought "Oh s***, she's telling a guy who spends A LOT of time on this site that the time he spends on this site might be 'the best form of service suited for him' and that could EASILY get taken the wrong way"
And if you feel I took it the wrong way, well, CASE IN POINT.
I am not saying "laziness bad" I am saying "NOT DOING MUCH and just feeling love is not an act of service, just because you post on a forum while you do it" I'm not even saying it's something to feel bad about. I am just saying that no, it's not really all that STO. Not really. I'm just asying to CALL A SPADE A SPADE.
Who am I yelling at?
Nobody.
Oh, and this:
"Who should I be? Who do you want me to be, shall we discuss it?"
A) we are discussing it already, and B) It doesn't matter who I want you to be.
All I'm saying is, if you want to be STO don't pretend that's what you're being if you make "contributing to an internet forum" the "best service for you" while you adopt the notion that one is certainly a wanderer and therefore the type that must be just sent here to raise the vibration or some s*** like that. I have heard enough of that and I REALLY think it's a bad notion.
The question is WHAT DO YOU want to be? Do you want to be the person whose definition of serving others is "rasing the vibration" and sending love without doing much else because posting on an internet forum is the service best suited for you?
Or do you want to be somebody who does the STO thing?
Or somebody else?
All I'm saying is BE HONEST about it.
I don't actually care what you do, I just think it's a bad idea not to be honest about it.
Also, I don't think the wanderer identity helps most people. I think it's actually in most cases kind of an ego trap. And I think when people think they're wanderers, or lightworkers, or starseeds or whatever, they start to get all kinds of unhelpful notions based on that concept.
ESPECIALLY if they don't even know. If you haven't pierced the veil or been told by someone who has, I don't think it's a good idea to assume. Actually, even THOSE two I am at this point becoming skeptical of. I am becoming INCREASINGLY aware that stuff is not as it seems. And I think that's what's bothering me here: Stuff isn't as it seems, and yet thinking that it is, or thinking that it is what one wants it to be... it's like... I worry it's inherently limiting. Like a cage.
I dunno. What I'm saying is, this kind of stuff we tell ourselves? Often bullshit and often keeps us down.
