“One way by which we may co-ordinate, align, and integrate our instruments with the fire of Spirit and heal the cleavages inside of us, is by doing good. When we do good, when we radiate ‘goodness,’ when we think thoughts of kindness and generosity, we release the goodness that‘s inside of us and thus heal ourselves – and the world – from the inside out. Let me explain how that works.
We all have had the experience that when we help someone who is in need, it makes us feel good. But why does it feel so good to help? When we help with a pure heart and with no motivation for expecting anything in return, when we give just for the sake of giving, as we help just for the sake of helping, we become a channel through which the energy of goodness can flow. The energy of goodness flows through us and gradually washes away all the hindrances and blocks in our system that we have accumulated over time, and which manifest in our daily lives as mental, emotional, and physical problems.
Being a channel for helping others, helps to make us whole because we release an aspect of our potential that‘s dormant inside of us. Just as the oak tree sleeps inside the acorn, our fully awakened Soul and Spirit is already within us. So, whatever we need is already inside of us and just not expressed outwardly. When we bring it into our outer life by calling it forth and expressing it, we learn more inner virtue. When we decide to be a channel for kindness, we call forth the energy of kindness from our Divine core, and we release it within us.
When we become a channel for healing others, we cannot but heal ourselves in the process, as well, because the energy has to flow through us. That‘s why anytime you don‘t feel good or feel down and you help someone, you feel better. When we serve without expecting anything in return, we learn to serve selflessly. As we learn to serve selflessly, we learn to become spiritually group-conscious and we develop the fuller characteristics of our awakened Soul.”
