But, what really matters? This is what we have to get to! We have to separate what really makes a difference from what doesn’t. If something matters, what exactly does it affect? What difference does it make! What someone likes or doesn’t like? What difference does it make relative to this question of ’doing’? It’s the issue of ’awareness’. Not guilt, not pride - just awareness!
The following seems like a different thought, although it’s very connected.
 
’Acting on behalf of others’ 
is, basically, an expansion 
of awareness!

Awareness is the issue - awareness! The wider your awareness, the more you participate in the Reality of the Unity. The moment you slip into your pettiness, you’ve just turned into a little devil.

There is an expression that comes to mind now, that says: ”When ONE person awakens all the angels rejoice”. When one person remembers themself, when one person awakens, all the angels rejoice. ... we could all use a little rejoicing. One person’s awakening is Universal. If you awaken to your Real Self, at that level, in any language, there is an EQUALITY. What is Real in you, is the Real in everybody. There is One Real. It’s sometimes referred to as the ’Christ level’, or ’All Suns’ at a cosmic level.

Ultimately the only real authority is the Truth. That is, 'God', the AUTHORITY, that KNOWS the basic reason for it ALL. And supposedly there are some people who are closer to that understanding than others.

STOP COMPROMISING WITH AUTHORITY:
The wise do not impose authority. Those that do, be they parents, 'churches', teachers or scout leaders, demonstrate their own ignorance by pushing their certainty. 
The wise point, the others tell.

“Everything in the world is connected, so there’s no such thing as a small thing!” That almost sounds scary. But in this intense period of history it should be obvious. I don’t think it becomes obvious to people because for something to become obvious, you have to be paying attention! Things happen and change - without it being obvious - because you didn’t noticewhat was before and you don’t notice what was after. You, maybe, just feel an increased awkwardness or an increase of pressure, or whatever. You feel the chang

If you're not totally busy wanting, grabbing and holding then you may have enough energy to pay attention to what you actually do have. Not what you might have, but what you do have. And what you have, most essentially, is your body. You are in a body, and that is your 'earth'. Your body is made of earth substance, and you are meant to 'have' it. Now you don'thave it because you don't know it! You know it theoretically, but you're still not really in it. Your awareness, sensitivity, is now being eaten away by 'sweet' dreams.

WHAT can we take - now? 
We can take now what is available now. Available, okay - what's available?
You sit there in your body. Now get the words, you sit there IN your body, which means, first of all, that YOU are NOT your BODY, you have a body, you 'sit' IN it.
What's available? Well, to start with, your body!
You have that body not only as a mobile something to get you around, not only - it's an incredible machine/animal not only capable of a great number of tricks but also has a magnificent inner dynamic, always pulsating, throbbing, circulating a massive amount of energy. It's YOUR body, you can know it, feel it, ride comfortably in it, be buoyed up joyfully within it !IT is there NOW for you - not only for it's good 'use' but for it's Good FEEL. Lots of misunderstanding around this very issue of 'feel'. We for one thing know about feeling other peoples' bodies and in certain cases like them to feel ours - but, man, YOU can feel YOURS all by yourself, and NOW. Not so much the outside, masturbation or otherwise, okay, really no serious harm, but INSIDE where it's 'all happening' - relax, must relax - feel the hand, the right hand, in and out, 
feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllll it ! 
Move the attention to the left hand 
the same do ! 
the left foot 
etc. etc. 
'A hint to the wise' !

The body is a simpler mechanism for direct attention, if you can avoid ‘normal’ habit. Generally, when you get a pain, a discomfort, you immediately start ‘wondering’ - is it a sickness, should you go to a doctor, not go to a doctor, is it this or that, what should you do, tell your mother or not, worry about it or not, do ‘something’ or not? The sensation brings up all kinds of mental struggle. With whatever is uncomfortable, you start struggling - what are you going to do, going to do, going to do? And the last thing you do - is give it attention! And as we know, attention is light and light heals!
Now, we are in this wonderfully fortunate position. That’s why we wanted a body so much - so we could do something with our negative energy - to evolve! That which we could not do without a body.

Now - you’ve got the body. You can give attention to it. You’ve got the Transforming Mechanism! If you are blessed with a certain sensitivity and insight, you may be able to use it NOW. Somehow to REALIZE what all this is about. The intensity of the situation can be put to great advantage!
