Emotions….
We all have them, yet very few explore how they, emotions, make us feel. If we can learn to explore our emotions at the exact timing in which they surface, we can better understand ourselves and those around us.
The emotions being explored in this session is Greed vs Selfishness.
Does greed lead to selfishness or does selfishness lead to greed? Are they interchangeable? Is there cause and effect?
In a sense greed can derive from experiencing selfishness from an outside party. We have a right to be selfish with our personal possessions, but that does not give us a right to harbor excess. Borrowing clothes and shoes are far different from borrowing family members or friends. Selfishness can make matters personal quite quickly. I believe that is where GREED kicks in.
What we become greedy and selfish about is a personal feeling that comes from deep within. Most people do not like to go deeper in conversation when asked about WHY they deserve to have MORE than everyone else. Granted some people do work extra hard for their rewards, however, we have to keep in mind that some people refuse to work hard for things and assume they are entitled to the rewards in which others have worked hard for. This is when and where we check Greed and Selfishness in it’s moment of appearance.
See, the emotions behind both feels the same so they carry similar vibrations. We may think someone is being selfish for all the right reasons, when in fact they are just being greedy. This greed leads to an extreme suffering of lack by those who would or could have been rewarded some favor had it not been for the greedy person eating it all up. Karma has it’s way of returning, however if they greed is checked immediately, then people would be inclined to change their ways.
Greed and Selfishness knows no limits unless someone calls it for what it is. To be selfish means to cater to one’s own self. Sometimes that is necessary, but to not teach or encourage others how to be healthily selfish with oneself is a form of greed. The greed of holding back information that can elevate people within your nation is dangerous in the sense that it doesn’t allow for growth. It encourages stagnation, and no return of abundance.
To want to be greedy means that you do not mind others suffering lack. You’d rather see someone else suffering lack, because what else would be the result of someone taking more than what they deserve, besides lack being suffered somewhere else….
To want to be selfish means you witnessed someone else being greedy and now you are cautious. You’re noticing of someone else’s greed leads to an understanding that there will be a suffering of lack and that one must preserve what one has in order not to have the same outcome as the person being witnessed.
Greed comes from an hurt place. Selfishness comes from a healing place. We selfishly take time to heal. We greedily take time away from from others being able to heal. To be able to be greedy means there is an abundance somewhere. To be selfish means you’re hiding that abundance. To hide abundance means there’s a lack of trust. So why involve yourself with people who you do not trust. It only perpetuates the greed and Selfishness. A never ending cycle of abuse is created because someone’s presence will always be unwanted.
We must explore how our own and how other people’s selfishness and greed makes us feel. We must not become our abusers. W must try to converse with those who are comfortable being in that energy because to continue to allow it means a death to the next generation. They learn nothing about preservation or sharing. They miss all the fundamentals that comes with fair and Equal Exchange. They miss out on all the benefits of having balanced relationships. They miss out on the feeling of not having to worry whether or not one will be able to survive. Ask yourself…
Am I Greedy, Am I Selfish, and Why????? Then work towards balancing those emotions out. Then present the New Improved You to The World.
