It's not just the internal doubts and struggles that everyone has, it's also that, as soon as one makes such a decision, other people try to tear you down - to pick upon every flaw as if "that proves she's no better than anyone else". Of course a Servant to the Goddesses/Gods/Light isn't better than others - they're trying to better themselves, which inherently involves an acknowledgement of flaws and faults. And yet so many cretins set themselves up as having the right to prove that others are as flawed as the self appointed would-be tester cretins are - and, if they succeed in causing the would be Servant to the Goddesses/Gods/Light to stumble, to be angry, or depressed, or frustrated, the cretins crow that they have 'proven' something, namely, that the Servant to the Goddesses/Gods/Light is 'no better than' the self appointed would-be tester cretin.
Rubbish.
In actual fact, by simply making the decision to try, the Servant to the Goddesses/Gods/Light is immediately better than the self appointed would-be tester cretins.
Furthermore, the self appointed would-be tester cretins are - if their effect is strong enough - guilty of robbing the world of someone who is trying to make the world a better place.
Has the Servant to the Goddesses/Gods/Light failed?
Yes.
Are they guilty in some way?
No, only to the extent of having tried too much perhaps: the bulk of the guilt, and ALL the negative karma, lies with self appointed would-be tester cretins.
All of it - every single bit of negative karma from every single bit of suffering that could have been eased by the Servant to the Goddesses/Gods/Light had a fair go, lies with the self appointed would-be tester cretins.
It takes a lot of strength to be a Servant to the Goddesses/Gods/Light. I know from personal experience. Sadly, it seems that many such have to work either on their own, or with limited help and support, as well as dealing with surviving or getting by in today's world. In the last 40 years, I've had decent help for about 3 of those years - and less than a dozen people have been anywhere near me in terms of commitment.
So ... what does that mean?
It means that being a Servant to the Goddesses/Gods/Light requires strength - lots and lots of strength: moral strength, spiritual strength, emotional resilience, and, above all else, PSYCHIC strength (physical wellbeing helps as well).

My "blogiography" (list of all posts - currently not up to date) is here.
I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "pagans for peace" project (and join me at 9 PM on Sunday, wherever you are, to meditate for peace), and here for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend learning how to flame, ground and shield, do alternate nostril breathing, work with colour - and see also here, and be flexible.
I am a Walker upon the Path of Balanced Positivity, seeking Spiritual Maturity.
- One size does NOT fit all.
- Don't be mediocre - seek to excel.
- Gnwmythr's Stropping Strap: Occam's Razor only works if the simplest solution is actually recognised as being the simplest, rather than the one that best fits one's bigotries being labelled 'simplest'.
- Our entire life experience, with all the many wondrous and varied people, places and events in it, is too small a sample for statistical reliability about Life.
- May the world of commerce and business be recognised to be a servant, not a master, of the lives of people.
- Ban the dream interpretation industry!
- A home is for living in, not feeling, becoming or being rich or a “better” class than others.
- Housework is for ensuring a home is comfortable to live in, not competing to outdo or belittle others.
- Being accustomed to interacting via certain rules makes those rules neither right nor universal.
- Like fire to the physical, emotions to the soul make a good servant, and a bad master.
- Expertise at intimacy and emotional happiness is generally not the same thing as spiritual growth.
- Any person, male or female, who has neither a serious health issue nor dependents and expects their partner to work to support them, is, spiritually speaking, little more than a parasite.
- "Following the crowd" is not "going with the flow".
- Armageddon is alive and well and happening right now: it is a battle between the indolence of "I only ..." and/or "I just ..." and/or "Everyone knows ... " and/or "they can ..." and what Bruce Schneier [2] calls "security theatre" on one side, and perspicacity and the understanding that the means shape the end on the other. Indolence vs. perspicacity, and expediency vs. honour.
- The means shape the end.
- BPLF restraint of uncooperatives is NOT an opportunity for revenge or getting even - even unconsciously.
- As words can kill, the right to freedom of speech comes with a DUTY to be as well-informed, objective and balanced as you can be.
- My favourite action movie of all time is "Gandhi", although I've recently come across "Invictus" and might put that one in to that category. However, I loathe the stereotypical action movie - and, for similar reasons, I loathe many dramas, which are often emotionally violent, more so in some cases than many war films.
- All of the above - and this blog - could be wrong, or subject to context, perspective, or state of spiritual evolution ...
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger [people]. JOHN F. KENNEDY (who was quoting 19th century Episcopal Bishop Phillips Brooks)
We make our decisions. And then our decisions turn around and make us. F.W. BOREHAM
Females, get over 'cute'. Get competent. Get trained. Get capable. Get over 'cute'. And those of you who are called Patty and Debby and Suzy, get over that. Because we use those names to infantalise females – we keep females in their 'little girl' state by the names we use for them. Get over it. If you want to be taken seriously, get serious. JANE ELLIOTT

We didn't inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we only borrowed it from our children ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
Those whom we cannot stand are usually those who we cannot understand P.K.SHAW
Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, and the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change." SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY (US Attorney General 1966 Speech)
Too much and too long, we seem to have surrendered community excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our gross national product ... if we should judge America by that -- counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. ... Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile." ROBERT F. KENNEDY 1968
