Altruistic You

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.
