All That Matters While You’re Here
Help others and don’t feed your ego.
This may be a hard pill for some to swallow, but helping other people is the only thing that you can do that matters. While you’re incarnated on this planet, you must work in service of other people or things. It is the highest form of good you can do.
Nothing you do in selfishness is worth anything spiritually. Your ego can take control of your life if you allow it to, and it will reel you into activities that are self-serving. But this is not the way a spiritual person lives their life. You must transcend the ego.
Sorry — it might come as a shock. We live in a human collective and we are all part of the same whole. Welcome to oneness.
There are plenty of messages in mainstream society that enable us to live on the surface and feed the ego. We’re programmed to believe that we are supposed to be living selfish lives — that’s somehow admirable. Capitalism has trained us well to seek means to selfish ends. We’re encouraged to take on careers that boost our status in the world. We’re told that money is the only currency worth anything. It’s normalized to use other people for their bodies and seek fleeting moments of pleasure. But do you want to know something? There is no pleasure greater than helping another soul along their path in life.
