ME
<<Let's find a tribesman to help and serve.>>

YOU
>>What makes you think that tribesmen DON"T "help and serve"?>>

When we define/label them as "poor" we only enslave them by separating them.

Define them as great, wonderful, unlimited and special and we free them and join them at the same time.

>>Come to think of it, I suspect that tribesWOMEN, in any event, spend most of their time "helping and serving.">>

We can each learn so much from each other, but if we define them "downward" we cut off this learning. Definitions and labels separate us. We need to connect with each other with energy, trust and love to learn.

>>Let us not trivialize the problems of those less fortunate by prating to them about "helping and serving," or about the "illusory nature" of their fears. ("No, that policeman isn't really going to torture you by applying an electric shock to your testicles. Just think of something pleasant, and you will realize it is all in your mind." Yeah.)>>

Don't miss the point. I reached out to you and asked how "we" can risk, help and serve them in anyway, shape or form. Forget about "you" and "me" and don't judge anything "I" do or say negatively for you will only dissconnect the energy which serves to divide/separate us from one another.

>>Have you given away all your wealth to the poor?>>

Forget about "me". "I" don't matter. Focus outward.

>>Kissed the sores of lepers?>>

I can sing, too.

>>Set up a soup kitchen?>>

I can sing while I dish and serve!

>>Taken in refugees?>>

Myself!

>>In short, done any of the really hard stuff?>>

Life isn't supposed to be "hard." This is another fallacy, like fear, which I chose to ignore.

We weren't born into these illusions. We simply pulled back our light and trust which works to give up our energy which drives us to supporting these illusions. If I gave up my energy and value to things outside of myself - what others think, say, do - I'd be fearful, too.

Bring it back......

The only "way" is inside "you." You taking risks to embrace the power you have to share the light, energy which creates trust which comes the love which is within you.

Forget about "me"

But if you take a moment to risk helping and serving someone I think you will find this yourself.

But feel free to judge and shoot me all you want. You have answers and a story which nobody else has which I and many others can learn from. But nothing is going to happen if you continue separating you from me or you from others through your power to judge.

Peace.
