i realised the answer to an earlier question, im trying to connect to others that can relate to me.
I have lots of distress over suffering around me and it gets to where i spend all my time searching for how i can help.
The urge to connect to others on the path is overwhelming sometimes because that's where i need to serve, but it is usually so hard to get around pride, hard to know what to say, where to start.

I want to serve.
i've entered the stream. i am the reflection of everyone i have ever met.
I see the fields are ready, i want to help in the harvest.

i've recently learned that where i am is considered rare, but i've searched and i don't see it as true.
i've known many like me, who if they had a chance, they would have annulled themselves before the creator.
it's the treasure in the field, christ was making a guarantee that there is a treasure that when it is found, one WILL sell all they own to buy the field.

I see myself in others, crying out for the truth, begging to me to explain that the truth is within.
after awakening, i diverted much of my personal energy to developing compassion. changing my sorrow to be for the suffering of others for example, but now it has grown much faster than i expected.

this is the direction i must go. i start here, in asking your advice on how else i can serve the most good.
i don't like asking this publicly because it seems like it may be off putting, but fear does not produce life.

thank you,

Study and meditate on this course, especially the lecture "Service and Sacrifice."

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami

thank you.
this is no small matter, sacrifice IS the stream, so the idea is cherished and hated.
the feeling i have is like starving, the body im building is sometimes starving.

but the compulstions i have to sustain spiritual energy is the ego trying to cling, my mind lies and says: "there is another (better) place and time for the work." meaning that i am an individual, and there is a place and time when the infinite can not be accessed (that i extend the awakening from below).

self depends on seeing reality in such a way that causes itself to arise in the next moment.

a lie is perpetuated, but the truth perpetuates.
(whatever is dependent is a lie, namely: self)
so it is not for me (self) to choose the path, but to follow.

there is never a time when i can not practice sacrifice.
desire, it comes as an angel of light.
