Ep.139 – Comparison is The Thief of Joy, Lifting Yourself + Others Up, Gratitude + Purpose, Reasons to Live, Health Is Wealth, Shortening Of Life Span, Hints for Health

Living in a world filled with social media, it is easy to find yourself comparing your life to others. The issue is that most people tend to only document the best aspects of their life. A nice scroll of all the wonderful aspects of themselves and their vacations and winnings. This can lead us to a distorted perception about what life is about and our self worth.
It is good to remind ourselves that people are only documenting the best aspects of themselves and everyone struggles and suffers. Sometimes the most seemingly happy and wonderful lives are filled with the most tragedy and hardship. Comparison to these superficial aspects will steal your joy. If we can put down social media more often or atleast fill our feeds with more healthy comparisons, we will find ourselves being more grateful and more joyful. More centered on The Creator and being grateful for the rather abundant lives we live. Don’t compare yourself to influencers and celebrities. We are rich in opportunities to serve as we walk this planet. In service is purpose. In purpose is joy.
-L HEART OF EVOLUTION OF SPIRIT: UNITY LOVE LIGHT JOY

Well, is there then, from the point of view of an individual who wishes to follow the service-to-others path from our present position in third density, is there anything of importance other than disciplines of personality, knowledge of self, and strengthening of will? Ra: I am Ra. This is technique. This is not the heart. Let us examine the heart of evolution.
Let us remember that we are all one. This is the great learning/teaching. In this unity lies love. This is a great learn/teaching. In this unity lies light. This is the fundamental teaching of all planes of existence in materialization. Unity, love, light, and joy; this is the heart of evolution of the spirit.
The second-ranking lessons are learn/taught in meditation and in service. At some point the mind/body/spirit complex is so smoothly activated and balanced by these central thoughts or distortions that the techniques you have mentioned become quite significant. However, the universe, its mystery unbroken, is one. Always begin and end in the Creator, not in technique. SHORTENED LIFE SPAN DUE TO NON-HARMONY /MANIPULATION OF OTHERS 22.5 Questioner: Then can you give me a— Can I assume then that this drastic drop from 700-year life span to one— less than one hundred years in length during this second 25,000-year period was because of an intensification of a… of a condition of lack of service to others? Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is in part correct. By the end of the second cycle, the Law of Responsibility had begun to be effectuated by the increasing ability of entities to grasp those lessons which there are to be learned in this density. Thus, entities had discovered many ways to indicate a bellicose nature, not only as tribes or what you call nations but in personal relationships, each with the other, the concept of barter having given way in many cases to the concept of money; also, the concept of ownership having won ascendancy over the concept of non-ownership on an individual or group basis.
Each entity then was offered many more subtle ways of demonstrating either service towards others or service to self with the distortion of the manipulation of others. As each lesson was understood, those lessons of sharing, of giving, of receiving in free gratitude— each lesson could be rejected in practice.
Without demonstrating the fruits of such learn/teaching the life span became greatly reduced, for the ways of honor/duty were not being accepted GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR HEALTH/LONGEVITY: 25.2 Questioner: The second question the instrument requested was: How may I best revitalize myself not only now but in the future?
