SERVICE

What is Service to Humanity, or Service to any group? Is it Sacrifice? Assistance? Mediation? Sharing? Diplomacy? Compassion? Teaching? Peacekeeping? War-making? The answers are as varied as the opponents who would argue against the same.

Do you give Service when you set strong boundaries for a person intent on harming themselves or others? What if by saving that person, he or she goes on to kill a thousand in the future, alone and unstable without someone to set strong boundaries for them again? How then, does the first act of saving that person from themselves appear to your heart and mind—to your compassion—according to a future outcome such as that?

Service cannot be measured in these terms. We will state this once more: Service cannot be measured in these terms.

Service is any act given in compassion and truth that at the time, is perceived to benefit the highest good. Let that act stand alone. Do not think it forward. “If I give this person money, will they spend it on agents for self destruction (drugs or alcohol, etc.) rather than agents for good (food, shelter, clothing, etc.)?”       

Offer Service in the moment, according to what can best be perceived as the action supporting the highest good. If you believe that the highest Service is inviting a person to shelter and food rather than giving them money for shelter and food, by all means, offer that form of Service. There is no need to judge, except within yourself, whether or not you are rightly hearing how you are called to act. 

The boundaries of Service are governed by your abilities to see and perceive them, negotiate them, and integrate them into your life. Service is not only a matter for humanity. It includes everything that exists in the Great All. Everything that crawls, swims, flies, walks, and wanders amid the glories of Gaia and her Ethers are included in your opportunities for Service, as well as the other realms wherein dwell your Spirit Brethren.

Service is the outflow of your Divine Self to others, 

when given in its highest form.

It is Love, given purely. 

It may come wrapped with different faces, 

but its core is that of Great All, 

recognized and shared, 

and therefore made manifest and multiplied.

Blessed Be This Day

This is a Direct Voice Communication from my Tribe,

Spirit Elders who share their wisdoms with me

from the other side of the veil.
