"The way of spirit calls to individuals to have compassion for each other. Compassion is very excellent because the compassion is the way you have of doling out the love of the Universe to only yourselves. When you have compassion for others, you have the way of spirit. And in this, you love yourselves. If you don't have compassion for others, you can say for certain that you're not loving yourselves, and when you see the world in ways that are finding your selfishness only -- we don't say that selfishness is bad -- but when you only see selfishness, that is getting in your way of loving yourselves, because selfishness doesn't allow you to really enjoy lifes gifts. "Selfishness is a means to say, I don't have enough. Therefore, I will not share what I have. And when you're being unfulfilled, you do this, and you need to sometimes do this, because you need to focus first on self before you can give away, but when you do this to the exclusion of the worlds needs, to say the least, you ground yourself from flight. You have only one set of deeply imbedded gains, and that is to serve yourself, but the world needs you as well. "The world needs you all to be sharing your gifts in it. And in this, you need to realize that you can save the world. In every way you can do that. Now we will have a different definition perhaps of the world than you have really provided yourselves. And in this, you'll find that the world is you. The world is you, but not only the you that you've come to know so far. The world is you, the suffering is you, the Taliban is you, the contrary Pope is you, and when you see this, as well as, contrary to your expectations, expect them all to be in your embrace. That will be when you are truly yourselves. "You will be truly the best self, as well as the most many splendored self that you can be, for your splendor is required in the world. The splendor of your being is, in many ways, the most beautiful creation ever in our Rose's experience. You are the most perfect creations you've ever imagined. So to say, 'We are not that.' We are not the world in peril. We are not suffering. We are only the way we've always seen ourselves, as the most small individuals that we can expect to see in our experiences. "In looking to the world, you exchange the love you have been given to share. If you're not expecting to find that love, then you need to find this in yourselves, and you've created ghosts to come tell you this, my dear ones. Youve created a galaxy of intelligent beings to come to earth to speak to you directly. Now isn't that marvelous? Indeed, we must say so ourselves." (Group chuckles) ~ Session 235, April 06, 2008
