Those with a goal of growth are likely to be more concerned with their own process, but may be interested in serving others if that supports their growth.

Those with a goal of acceptance may serve others, especially in terms of helping others accept themselves, perhaps by simply being a loving presence for them, but will not tend to do as much in service as someone whose goal is on the action axis, submission or dominance.

Someone in acceptance is more likely to offer kind words, for example, in service, since acceptance is an expression axis goal.

Since growth and reevaluation are inspirational goals, people with these goals tend to serve others, if they have a service thrust, through inspirational means, wanting to help others with their own growth or reevaluation, for instance.

Spiritual growth is not the same as the goal of growth. Spiritual growth results from being in the positive pole of any overleaf, which allows for essence contact. The goal indicates the type of growth experiences a person tends to look for. With a goal of growth, you set up challenges and attempt to meet or overcome them. In acceptance, your emphasis is accepting what you cannot overcome or change. To truly overcome, accept, flow, discriminate, lead, devote, or reevaluate can contribute equally to spiritual growth.

Channeled by Shepherd Hoodwin]]> https://mail.michaelteachings.com/channeling/discussion/313/scholars-and-intimacy Tue, 28 May 2013 14:09:47 +0000 Roles ubiquitous 313@/channeling/discussions I am becoming concerned about my growing desire to be alone. I’d like to ask about the negative pole of Acceptance (Rejection). I’d like some information on Scholars and running — am I running away from a close relationship?

MOST SCHOLARS DO RETREAT FROM INTIMACY, YES, AND YOU ARE NO EXCEPTION. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOUR WORK ENTAILS TOLERATING REJECTION BEHAVIOR IN OTHERS. IN FACT, IT IS GOOD WORK FOR YOU TO DETACH YOURSELF FROM THE NEGATIVITY OF OTHERS. YOUR WORK NOW NEEDS TO BE DIRECTED TOWARD DEVELOPING YOUR OWN GOOD SPACE TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS ALL RIGHT FOR YOU TO IGNORE THIS PLEA FOR REJECTION. YOU CAN WORK WITH YOURSELF IN THE AREA OF NOT EXPRESSING YOUR OWN NEGATIVITY. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU NEED NOT REACT AT ALL TO SOMEONE ELSE’S NEGATIVE SPACE. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SIMPLY IGNORE IT. NO RELATIONSHIP THAT IS NOT BETWEEN BALANCED MAN CAN BE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT INTIMATE. SOME OF THE EXPECTATIONS PLACED UPON YOU IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN UNREASONABLE, AND YOU HAVE REACTED TO THEM IN THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD. NOW YOU ARE COMING TO THE SPACE WHERE YOU CAN VERBALIZE THAT WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. YOUR CONCERN NEEDS TO BE WITH YOUR OWN GROWTH, AS THOSE AROUND YOU NEED TO BE CONCERNED WITH THEIRS. THE DEGREE OF INTIMACY THAT YOU ALLOW WILL GROW WITH YOUR TRUST LEVEL: AS IT GOES UP, YOU WILL ALLOW MORE INTIMACY. SCHOLARS ARE NOT GENERALLY THE MOST INTIMATE OF SOULS.

IT CERTAINLY CAN BE IF ONE WISHES TO BE CREATIVE FROM AN INNOVATIVE STANDPOINT.

YOU ALL EXIST IN A STATE OF LOVE, IT IS MERELY THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT WHICH IS DENIED. WE WILL AMEND OUR PREVIOUS STATEMENT TO SAY LOVE RECOGNIZED, ACCEPTED AND ACKNOWLEDGED WITH ONE IS LOVE OF ALL. THAT IS AGAPE. YOU REFUSE FOR VARIOUS REASONS TO KNOW WHEN YOU ARE LOVED. THEREIN LIES THE DILEMMA. OFTEN IT MUST BE AN INTENSELY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE BEFORE IT CAN GROW AND ENVELOPE ALL OF LIFE; WHICH OF COURSE ALREADY LIES AWAITING YOUR LOVE. AWAKE TO THE REALITY, OR RATHER THE TRUTH, OF THE ONENESS OF ALL THAT LIVES.

THE ROLES ARE OF COURSE RETAINED ON THE LOW ASTRAL PLANE, WHERE THE SOULS REMAIN SEPARATE. AS THE INTEGRATION BEGINS TO TAKE PLACE, THE ROLES BECOME MORE AND MORE BLURRED, UNTIL THEY ARE DISSOLVED, OR BETTER YET, RESOLVED, ON THE HIGH ASTRAL PLANE. THEY ARE NOT TRANSCENDED HERE, BUT THE MEMORY OF THEM IS RETAINED. IF YOU LIKE, YOU CAN COMPARE IT TO A RACIAL MIXTURE WHICH EVENTUALLY LEADS TO ASSIMILATION. YOUR OBSERVATION IS VALID EXCEPT FOR THE JUDGMENT ABOUT IT. THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE IN THE POWER, BUT IT CANNOT ALWAYS BE EQUATED WITH A HIGHER SPIRITUAL BEING.

IF THIS PLANET WERE ENTIRELY POPULATED BY KINGS, PRIESTS AND SAGES, THERE WOULD BE LITTLE PROGRESS — MUCH LEADERSHIP, RELIGION AND ORATORY, BUT NO PROGRESS.
