ON SERVING:

From a talk by Jose Trigueirinho at Figuiera, Brazil   March 15, 2006 

–regarding their community outreach center called “House of Life”

(Notes taken by Avery from the oral translation.)

There are many kinds of “collaborators,” as the people who work on the out reach are called. There are those who work for its own sake.  Others are being purified as they work.  There are some people who offer everything that is necessary.  Padre Pio, for example, worked with doctors, the poor, newspaper people, thieves, etc.  The work took on greater and greater proportions. There were great saints who even founded monasteries in places where there was great crime so they could irradiate.

Each person has their own timetable, so do what you need to do.  Once you are giving help: just be available.  You will be where you have to be.  Don’t let the human mind interfere.  Look for the divine mind. 

Serve your higher divine self.    Be available for the highest level of your consciousness.  Serve your Overself.  This will give you energy.  Give the best you can from the highest in you.  It is most urgent now to find your essence, and to work based on the search for your essence. It is important to get to the point where we irradiate (from our essence): the intention of the soul to radiate is most important.

A country, city, earth, all have their angels, their hierarchies.  If we are aligned, connected, there is serving.  Otherwise we are part of the problem. 

If people don’t want your help outwardly, train silently.  Then the capacity of irradiation increases silently.  The capacity of irradiation happens when you can go inward. 

Remember that there are various planes.  Learn to work on all planes.  But to do this, you have to make harmony in the plane where you are.

Someone must want help as well as need help.  They have to ask.  If someone doesn’t want it, they are not ready.  And the help you give should not be so far from the evolutionary phase of the person you want to help, or it won’t help. 

This planet is a laboratory.  Here there is no perfection only transmutation.

What does the universe expect of the “house of life” healing center?

Not just joy, not just healing.

An instrument of peace.

A centre of radiation.

Everything and anything.  Do not limit it. 

A place of miracles

And, simple things: the opportunity for everyone to give everything to everyone.

From talk 45

M:  Unselfish work leads to silence, for when you work selflessly; you don’t need to ask for help.  Indifferent to results, you are willing to work with the most inadequate means.  You do not care to be much gifted and well equipped.  Nor do you ask for recognition and assistance.  You just do what needs to be done, leaving success and failure to the unknown.  For everything is caused by innumerable factors, of which your personal endeavor is but one.  Yet such is the magic of the human mind and heart that the most improbable happens when human will and love pull together. 

Q: What is wrong with asking for help?

M: Where is the need to ask?  It merely shows weakness and anxiety.  Work on, and the universe will work with you.  After all, the very idea of doing the right think comes to you from the unknown.  Leave it to the unknown as far as the results go.  Just go through the necessary movements.  You are merely one of the links in the long chain of causation.  Fundamentally, all happens in the mind only.  When you work for something wholeheartedly and steadily, it happens, for it is the function of the mind to make things happen. 

In reality nothing is lacking and nothing is needed, all work is on the surface only.  In the depths there is perfect peace.  All your problems arise because you have defined and therefore limited yourself.  When you do not think yourself to be this or that, all conflict ceases. … You have enclosed yourself in time and space, squeezed yourself into the span of a lifetime and the volume of a body and thus created innumerable conflicts.

From talk 72 Change the current of your desire from taking to giving.  The passion for giving, for sharing, will naturally wash the idea of an external world out of your mind, and of giving as well.  Only the pure radiance of love will remain, beyond giving and receiving.
