Basic Ingredient for Self

There seems to be four aspects of human interaction that are the essential for spiritual growth.

These are For, At, To and With.

These four basics essentials are:

Being responsible For someone

Being responsible At someone

Being responsible To someone

And

Being responsible With someone

These sound similar but in reality are miles if not universes apart in application.

If each of these components is not properly utilized and an appropriate balance maintained between them, then the basic bulwarks of life 101 simply will not work. It follows then that what I offer out into the day-to-day world will always come out twisted somehow, no matter how hard I try, no matter what my intent. What I do with someone, what I do for someone and what I do at or to someone are the basic criteria for my own spiritual growth. Why, because as I do with, for, at and to then I am in fact making an offering to myself of similar proportions and intent. If I do this with wounded intent then ... no matter what I do it is off the mark. The trick to the whole thing is, knowing how to bring the four aspects into balance. Most of us have no idea what to do with “WITH”... hence the lack of balance.

It is something like fueling your car. Put in first grade fuel and you generally get first grade performance, but if you pee in the gas tank, you will be lucky to get off the starting grid.
