Helping
In your world you talk a lot about helping and healing, like Christ healed with his own existence and his energy field, but man has the possibility to do the exact same when he chooses into his life love and the will to help. His energy field is then very healing and he heals merely by his existence, when every individual who is in this phase, is in his own existence as healing as Christ without knowing it. Love and a will to help is always constructive, for then every word and action is constructive. Then man serves himself, and when man serves himself, he serves everything everywhere. It is in him and he does not have to think about it separately, for service is then realized in his presence alone in everything in his life. For instance, he is standing in a line in a store and is thinking about preparing lunch, and in front of him in the line is a very distressed person whose life is in a complete knot and who sees no other choice than to end his life through his own hand. Behind the person who is thinking about the lunch is a person who has been suffering from pains for a long time. The person who is thinking about the lunch has been waiting to heal his neighbors for a long time, but he does not know that he is healing at that very moment. The distressed person standing in front of him finds suddenly a thought that brings hope at which life opens, and he will not end his life that day. The person suffering from pains suddenly notices that his pains have been alleviated and he is feeling well. What happened? What happened was what happens all the time: energy communicated with energy as it does all the time everywhere, and the energy field of the person who wants to help received the distressed person's request of help.
On the other hand, helping is not always that one wants to help another person see his situation as brighter, but it is often that one is able to accept the state of the other and also support the other in it. it is respecting the other person, when one lets him live that state and experience those emotions which the other feels that he needs, no matter what they might be. If one strives for too much in helping, it becomes the opposite, and the situation does not serve anymore; then the counter force really starts working. If I try to do everything at once, I no longer serve the person who asks me to help, but I then serve myself and my identity: "I am good and capable! I can help this much!" If I amass more responsibility than what my share is, I do not respect the person who is being helped, for if one tries to give the Lord's word to a hungry person, it creates frustration and even anger in him. We can regard him as an ungrateful person, this person who is about to die of hunger because, even at the moment of death, his last words are full of anger. We look down on him and feel great pity: "Where might that one end up!" We try to save him and give him that which is necessary and important to us at that moment, for in our great selfishness, we do not pay attention to him but we want to give him our own importance. We want him to notice how much we already know and can and how good and admirable we are. In our own importance and self-admiration, we are blind to his needs. When he asks for a bowl of wine, we hand him our own importance, when the result is that we cannot help him at all. The one who is being helped becomes more and more locked, and the helper remains in a perfect delusion which only takes him away from himself.
It is very important to realize this if one really wants to help, for every moment when I am in myself is helping. Helping cannot be defined or foreshadowed for it comes unexpectedly. If one starts analyze helping, the moment when one could serve another can be over. The helper would have had the exactly suitable words inside him, and the situation would have become a discussing serving both, for true helping always serves both the helper and the recipient of help. The recipient of help gets then help, and the helper gets understanding, for understanding expands his ability to be aware of things. The form of helping has no importance whatsoever, and you cannot demarcate it either, for it is only about that you yourself understand what helping truly is. The foundation of helping is always honesty without requirements, and if something else is involved in it, it does not serve neither of them, when both the helper and the recipient of help are alone in that state. Alone the thought "Now I can help" should set the alarm bells ringing in the helper, for then it very soon becomes a game in which one plays a good helper and a good recipient of help. It does not serve neither of them, for no true interaction will come of it, and that who is being helped will not get help.
