Inner struggle
QUESTION: Masters, I feel like I should be helping people somehow but I’m not sure in what capacity. I have struggled so much over the years and I have a lot of life experience. Am I just supposed to share my own experiences? I would welcome becoming a channel. I know I’m not ready for that step yet, but will I be ready for that someday? I feel empty working regular jobs. I really want to help others first and foremost. ~Lisa, USA
ANSWER: Your presence in the world helps others. As you have sensed, learning lessons by overcoming your struggles has given you many tools to assist others. You don’t need a formal stage upon which to reach out to those in need; they will be drawn to you. Be aware of those who approach you at work, on the street, in the market—they sense your strength and wisdom. Sharing your experiences will benefit them greatly.
Why do you think you are not ready to accept assistance from the other side? We, your guides and guardians, are always ready to give advice. Conferring with us through meditation or quiet conversation is channeling. When your belief is there, you are ready. It is a very human trait to think that you are not good enough or enlightened enough to reach out and accept the assistance that is hanging there ready to be snatched up. Take us up on our offer: we insist (subject, of course, to your freedom of choice J).
Be yourself. Honor yourself, and then in whatever place you find yourself at work, you will find happiness and fulfillment.
