Is it the energy of love brought by the Coming One which will truly solve the problem of competition?
Yes, but not alone. The Coming One cannot do it for us. If He could, He would, I am sure. We have to save ourselves, go through the entire process of self-salvation. No one on earth, not even Him, can do it for us. This is a one-to-one dialogue with our soul. We must allow the soul to speak through us, more and more, and call on the soul’s energy, insight and awareness by identifying with it. If we never identify with the soul, how can we know it? We have to experience ourselves as a soul in incarnation and, more and more, see that as the reality. When it is the reality, the lower man or woman tends to take second place.
The personality will always be there, but it becomes negative in relation to the soul. The soul needs an instrument, a vehicle, a powerful, clear-cut personality through which to demonstrate. It is not a question of negating the personality, putting ourselves down, losing all self-respect. It is a question of becoming more altruistic, more impersonal, more objective. (B. Creme)
