Are You a Do-Gooder or a Good Doer?

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><span> Are You a Do-Gooder or a Good Doer?</span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is a really important concept to contemplate and to consider in your life. In the most basic sense, so many people are out there trying to do good, but they're doing it from a consciousness of fear, of separation, or of projection. It's like an unhealed</span> healer, <span style="font-size: 12pt;">or an angry activist. This is the key here. They've been wounded on some level early on in their life.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">That core wound really is a core initiation, and it really is pointing them in the direction of where they are meant to get stronger and ultimately make an impact in their life or in the greater world.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For example, let's say you were abused as a child, and you grow up having such pain around any form of violence or abuse. Your reaction to it is anger, sadness, bitterness, contempt towards those that perpetrate it, and you have very little, to no, compassion for those that are so caught in their own darkness that they would perpetrate such violence.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You're still the wounded little child that now just perhaps inhabits an adult body. In all kinds of ways, it's made you feel like a victim, and perhaps you've then put a mask on top of that, because, in many cases, the last thing an abused person wants to admit is that they're a victim. So you might put a mask on top of that to try to act independent and to be strong. You might have tried to compensate by building up these superstructures of your ego that made you actually more separate from others, more distant, more arrogant, elitist, self-righteous, any or all of these qualities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When we embrace these parts of us that we're projecting outside of us (the "bad capitalist", the "bad politician", the "bad lawyers", the "bad perpetrators" …or even just in our own family, "the bad parents", etc.), when we embrace those things within ourselves, now we have real wisdom. We have real power, and we are a healing agency as we move back out into the world.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If we don't embrace those, we often are driven to try to stamp out or get rid of those things in the world, whether it's in our family, in our business, or in the larger global culture, and we become a do-gooder. We enact movements and strategies and practices or legislature, laws, and we wonder why we've been doing that over and over again and it doesn't change things.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When you look at where real change starts to happen, real evolution, real growth, it's because someone somewhere caught this vision, and they became less focused on the problem and more focused on the vision. They stopped merely trying to save the world, and</span> tdecided <span style="font-size: 12pt;">to start serving the emerging possibility, the emerging vision, and they worked on themselves. It's the difference between a Malcolm X before his transition, and a Martin Luther King, Jr.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is what you must do. You must look at that and notice where you're fighting and</span> resisting<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> – being do-gooders – and where you're actually creating more pain and more problems in your wake, if not for others, then for yourself. You want to take full responsibility for your emotions, your pain, and your projections, and recognize that real transformation is not about setting things right, but about seeing things rightly.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It is the consciousness of wholeness that heals, and when you can see through the appearance of the victims and the victimizers to the truth, to the true principle – the true vision of possibility - then both victim and victimizer are healed and become servants of this higher possibility.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">To support you in mastering this, listen to the in-depth podcast on the subject, where we break it down and put it into real-life practice TODAY.
