NOT FOR ME, BUT FOR THEE, II

[The following is a slightly reworked reprint of my post of December 15, 2015.]

Fr. Richard Rohr once made mention of marriage and child rearing. Considering that, it has translated in my mind to mentoring. Some people are called to mentor. It's a sure path to ego reduction in depth, if you really allow your mentoring to mirror you, revealing your ordinary and weak self, but also helping you to experience unconditional love.

Interestingly, I picked up another book and read, "...he does his deed well who does it rather for the common good than for his own will."

Blinding flash of the obvious: The gift is to get over myself with her/him, not for myself but for the benefit of others. 

Ah, others I may not even know...to emit vibrations of love, forgiveness and peace to be received by whomever, wherever. We need never be consciously aware who receives our forgiveness vibrations for the whole world needs love.

Conquer self...all good within can thus be unblocked to flow out to others and return with twelve bushels full left over.

Thank you.
