Subject: “A Shift in Perspective”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “If you have satisfied your basic needs on the material level, you can begin to think about what you can express on the spiritual level. Material endeavors can be summarized as those things where the main intention is ‘what is in it for me.’ Truly spiritual things are expressed with the approach of ‘what can I do for my fellow beings.’ Spiritual manifestations represent a shift in the creature’s perspective, from egocentrism to a growing, dynamic, and intelligent philanthropy.
All the tasks you decide to undertake with the focus of doing something for others, improving the world, and helping others enjoy the same blessings that have been bestowed upon you are expressions of the unconditional love that seeks to manifest through your being. This is how you become an agent of the Father, a representative of God before your brothers and sisters, doing what the Father would do for them if He were in your place.
Even though these endeavors are always directed toward the well-being of your fellow beings—for the greater good—you will always receive benefits, even more abundantly than if you were to focus solely on your own well-being, because the benefits derived from expressing the Father's love go beyond this world, possess eternal value, and will remain with you even beyond this life. There may even be benefits you can begin to enjoy right now, such as deeper relationships with others, new and lasting friendships, and spiritual and mental peace.
You must be careful not to fall victim to the false expectations that your society and culture have created for many. You do not have to be a great philanthropist. You do not need to be the founder and director of a foundation to help others. You do not need to be the savior or leader who guides a city, state, or nation toward spirituality. These things are desirable and will bring many benefits, but here and now, focus on helping those around you. The danger of these expectations is that people may completely ignore what they mistakenly consider "small" things because they think they are not significant or sufficient.
If you are a father or mother, your children should be the first to receive the highest expressions of your loving service. If you are part of a family, a society, or any human group, the members of that group should be the ones to enjoy your expressions of unconditional love. Do not put conditions on the expression of your love—the love of the Father through you. Offer the best of yourself to everyone who crosses your path in life, and you will truly live a full and enriching life, filled with experiences that foster spiritual growth. In doing so, you will experience the true satisfaction of knowing deep within your being that you are living according to the Father's will, fulfilling the purpose for which you came into this world.”
