LETTING GO OF THE NEED TO SAVE EVERYONE

 

LETTING GO OF THE NEED TO SAVE EVERYONE

Marilyn RAffaele

Frequently a serious spiritual student trying practice service and unconditional love is unaware 

of how intensely he is still programmed by old religious beliefs and outdated concepts  proclaiming that real 

spirituality means “saving” anyone not living according to "correct" beliefs held personally or by some religious 

group. The nature of feminine energy seems to have caused  women to embrace this idea more readily than 

their male counterparts often resulting in the belief that they are not loving unless they try to save everyone 

in need of saving. They are taught, preached to, and finally accept that it is their spiritual duty to sacrifice 

themselves completely for the good of others... children, husbands, or families, etc.. which is a denial 

Divine individuality and the right to express it--a giving away of one's innate power.

The concept of self sacrifice as being spiritual has been and still is promoted by all who see themselves as 

separate from others and interpret love in terms of the need to "fix" everyone and everything not in accord 

with their own beliefs. In reality this is  a 3D interpretation of the spiritual completeness lying deep within 

the heart of every living thing, but this deeper level is simply not understood by most. In ignorance many 

believe that their personal truth is the only real truth and therefore it is their spiritual obligation to bring 

others into this "truth" by any means possible and often holding judgement and criticism toward anyone 

refusing this "gift of truth". 

In this time of new and higher dimensional awakenings, many evolving souls  are finding themselves in 

a dilemma...confused about what exactly they should to do when confronted by a friend or family member 

who is experiencing a difficult situation. They are finding themselves guided by their strengthening intuition 

to detach from any chaos, but at the same time feel guilt and pressure from others for not stepping up 

to the plate with (unsolicited) advice or action. It is at this time that it is important to honestly question 

ours or others intentions for much of the “do gooding” we see in the world is simply ego based activity 

which does not flow from spiritual awareness but rather from a place of seeking praise and attention. 

In third dimensional energy, there are and  always will be problems because it is an energy of duality 

and separation--always manifesting as pairs of opposites. Throughout numerous lifetimes, mankind has 

only experienced duality and has come to see it as the reality. Over time, experts have developed solutions 

to practically every human problem and loving souls work very hard to serve in the ways they understand 

according to their state of consciousness--this is ordinary third dimensional living as man has known it.   

Awakening, evolving souls are now moving out of the old energy of the third dimension and into the new 

more evolved energies of the fifth dimension. This is bringing with it new understandings of love and service, 

the old ways of service are moving to higher levels which must then manifest, for the outer is the ｅxpression 

of the inner.  

The human being living fully in duality and separation does not care about the problems or sufferings of other 

living things because he believes himself to be separate from anything or anyone other than that which 

personally concerns him. His pain and pleasures are all in and of the physical. As he evolves through lifetimes 

of learning experiences and begins to experience a limited sense of oneness, he may discover that he is 

becoming more interested in others' issues and problems and is amazed to discover how similar they are 

to his own. He begins to feel a spark of compassion for animals and other living things and may even find 

himself attempting to help another although at first this will  involve only those of his own family or group. 

When the master Jesus seeded universal consciousness with the truth of unconditional love and oneness,  

individuals spiritually ready began to understand and recognize that LOVE IS THE ACTIVITY OF THE 

REALIZATION OF onENESS. The realization that Love embraces all people and all living things not just 

those of one's own family or group was new and these seeds of truth began to penetrate human consciousness. 

At that time, few actually understood this very sacred truth, but for those ready then and now, comes 

the realization that THAT WHICH I DO TO ANOTHER, I DO TO MYSELF.   

From this deeper level of awareness of oneness, life (love and living)  begins  to manifest in new and 

higher ｅxpression. It is at this point that the enlightened consciousness can be aware of the struggles 

of others, (compassion) but is not compelled to personally embrace the other's problems (sympathy).  

He becomes an unconditional listener and does not feel a need to rush around believing that it is his duty 

to fix everything. 

The enlightened consciousness understands that outer experiences reflect the state of consciousness 

of the individual and lessons needing to be learned. He can relax, knowing that everyone is on earth 

to experience whatever lessons they themselves deemed necessary for  spiritual growth. He rests 

in the realization that every individual has a Higher Self, Guides, and a contract that they set up before 

being born into this particular experience.   He also honestly examines his own state of consciousness, 

asking; "What am I believing about this situation?  Am I giving power to appearances?  What is 

the spiritual truth?"

Relieved of the burden to "save" everyone, the evolved individual  is able understand needs from 

a level of  compassion. He does what he is guided to do, taking whatever human footsteps are necessary, 

but  always respecting individual choice.  He knows that  there is no one needing to be saved  for all are 

in and of the Infinite onE. He has his hand ready and available should  another reach out and he will 

grip theirs in return, but he fully understands that there is NEVER AN OBLIGATION to reach down into 

the "gutter" in order to  force someone to change who is choosing to stay where he at this time. This 

sort of activity is of the ego, and removes from them their job, their lesson, and arrogantly assumes 

that they will not survive without our help.  Perhaps they won't but it will be a powerful lesson they 

will remember the next time around.  Many are still in need of intense third dimensional experiences 

in order to evolve.

Do not misinterpret this new way of "seeing" as permission to hand someone a stone when their need 

is for a piece of bread while loudly proclaiming; “God is all, everything is illusion…” because this would 

be very human indeed and indicate an inability to see the reality behind appearances. Spiritual love 

knows the spiritual truth of another and meets needs, not wants in accord with the other person's 

level of awareness. At first this way of working can be confusing because from our higher perspective, 

we find we are able to clearly see the issues and  the temptation is to rush in with tried and true solutions.   

If the individual is receptive to our observations we can elaborate, but this must always be done without 

any attachment to outcome, with forced ideas or demands, and always with respect of the person's choices.  

If this is not clear, it should be taken into meditation and pondered.  

In order to live the spiritual sense of service, one must learn to  listen and trust their intuition in every 

situation, understand the difference between needs and wants (of self and others), and actively practice 

releasing any old influencing programs regardless of pressures from outside sources. It is the ability to 

drop the individual and all negative appearances immediately and deal with your own beliefs...

"What am I believing here?  In the light of truth, is it true?  What is the truth?"

Send Light to all people and places that concern you and all the kingdoms of Gaia, consciously and 

consistently knowing the truth—that all are Divine beings having a human experience no matter how 

ignorant they may be about this truth. Take whatever human footsteps you may be guided to take but 

only after knowing the truth. This results in a sense of relief and inner freedom because the  burden 

of needing  to “save the world” has been lifted.    

The Divine Law of completeness and wholeness always has been and ever will be in place.
