Altruism—a focus on helping others. Have you noticed that when most people feel a
push to change their vocation it involves a bit of altruism? Why is this?
It is the natural course of the soul’s evolution. As the soul grows, one moves from a focus on
the restricted self to the expanded Self.
This greater Self knows there is not separation, and so the focus
becomes, “How can I make the connection between the fragmented aspects of my
Self? How can I bring more love and
caring into this world?” The soul knows
that love is the connecting glue that brings the parts back together. The desire to do so becomes a force that must
be satisfied. Those who act on this
desire find that satisfaction through acts of altruism.
