When you need an answer
Which for most of you may be 
Most of the time,
The tendency is to look from the wrong place. 
Not in the wrong place
But from the wrong place. 
At first, most of you will seek the answer 
From the mind/ego/personality
Which has so many desires, 
Attachments, conditions
That must be met to satisfy
The mind/ego/personality’s
Continuous need for safety, security, success,
Adoration, amusement, distraction,
Vindication, recognition.
There is a grasping nature to the desire
Of the mind/ego/personality, 
Which is why you can never
Receive the answer that you are seeking
When you work from that place.

Your higher self is not you. 
It is not your body at peak performance,
It is not your mind/ego/personality
With all its tricks and schemes,
Its knowledge and opinions,
It is not yourself doing any particular
Thing in any particular way. 
It is not yours. It is not you. 
Your higher self is your soul, 
And soul is not singular. 
Again: soul is not singular. 
Soul is collective. 
Soul is Oneness
It is your soul as part of all souls
That is collective soul
Which is Oneness.
This is what you are part of. 
So, your higher self is not separate
Because it is soul.

The whole of your body is filled 
With cells that must all contribute, 
They must all perform their tasks 
According to their natural talents
And their abilities, in order to allow
The body to continue to live. 
The whole of Gaia is the same. 
Each person must learn to perform 
The tasks of their calling
The tasks of their contribution
In full understanding that it
Is not about the mind/ego/personality
Being better than, 
It is about all things working together
As a whole to lift the entirety of 
The soul collective into a new understanding.
This is the continued expansion of 
The Universe and you are part of it. 
You cannot stop this, it is how things are. 
When you shirk your calling
Or refuse to contribute
When you focus only on your needs
And think those are more important
Than the needs of the other
You might as well be a black hole 
In space continually collapsing onto itself
In complete darkness. 
Ego is separation. 
Reality is oneness. 
Discover your unique contribution 
And if you don’t know what that is yet.
Do what needs to be done
To help others.
