World Service as a Gateway to Soul and to Happiness

By Serge Beddington-Behrens

Service is of many kinds, and he who wisely renders it, who seeks to find his particular sphere, and who, finding it, gives effort for the benefit of the whole, is the one whose own development proceeds steadily.

— Serge Beddington-Behrens

For me, being of service means working on behalf of and thus taking a stand for a cause or causes that we believe in and which are dear to our hearts, and where we feel we can make some kind of positive contribution towards a healthier world. The more we allow ourselves to become a space for the Treasure that we are to "come out of hiding", and consequently for the Force to be strongly with us, the more powerful and effective our service will be. This is why working at building up our own soul power is so important.

So never think that "little me" is helpless to effect change. People who make the most difference in the world are often unable to see the consequences of their work, as not only do changes often take longer to happen than we think, but they often occur very differently to the way we might expect them to.

Small acts of kindness are in fact big acts and they affect our collective consciousness. So anytime we assist someone who needs help, or we reveal the way forward to a person who is stuck, or we make something beautiful that used to be ugly, we are doing mighty service work. Those artists and musicians and poets and film-makers and writers and designers who seek to bring beauty and truth and joy into the world through their creativity are all doing mighty work.
