Serve Us, Serve Ice, or Sir Vice

Work is Love Made Visible
What if
mankind had a motto, a mission statement, a tag line, an elevator five second message that would be GIVERS GAIN. Not an original, but an ageless piece of wisdom that has evolved through cultures, countries and religions since man first DECIDED to get along.
What a day it was when mankind agreed to agree, rather than fight for food, comfort sex and or power, getting along grew into cooperation, teamwork, and service.

How did that happen? What caused the change?
One concept of change most agree too is change is painful
and rarely does change occur without pain.
Can you think of a time you made change without pain,
or
where you can go to create change without pain.

So by using this form of logic,
or
actually the emotion or sensation of pain mankind became upset, sore, pissed off, angry, irate, MAD as hell and DECIDED not to take it anymore and miraculously moved their attention from their own feelings of pain, lack & inadequacy, onto the feelings of another.
Attention went from ATTENTION IN to ATTENTION OUT.

How is that possible?
Perhaps there was one of them, a leader who served as a model.
Very likely a WOE man, a mother who lead the way.
Woe, meaning to pull in the reins on pain.

Perhaps an alien source, ET, Alf or Mork landed or beamed down.
Or
some religion state a higher force incarnated.
An evolved civilization that may have realized that keeping ones ATTENTION on themselves leads to doubts, uncertainty, confusion, and the fear of being alone in a world that may not have recognized mankind as source of the universe and with a few lessons in ATTENTION were able to teach the evolving earthlings the peace & joy of service.

However, it happened!
Messages from cultures, religions, families and individuals universally professed the new found GOLDEN RULE.
Do Onto Others As You Would Do Onto Yourself.

As with most great answers, a new question arose.

In this model it began from the contradiction itself,
If I can’t control my life, my mind, and if I have headed down the road of inSAMEity, believing that by continuing to do what I have always done new results will occur I will now change and focus my ATTENTION on others.
If we look from the viewpoint of the aliens who initiated this idea, we can see that in order for the GOLDEN RULE to work, I must first know how I want to be treated.
It may have been at this time that Narcissus found his reflection in a peaceful pool of water and self-investigation began.

Who Am I?
Why Am I here?
What’s happening?

So I ask those questions.
That’s my job, my work, what’s been called the MAGNUS OPUS-the Great Work.
But in my PRIVATE SPEAKING inSAMEITY i realized that the more we know and understand each other the greater we are able to serve each other, and the more we become full service. Because full service is not just about other, but as in win win, the winning is concurrent,
you & me win.

So its not serve ice, cooling off with a frozen drink,
or
serve us as in pay your dues, follow our rule,
or
Sir Vice one of mankind’s misnomers,
like the often idiot savant Ad Vice,
but service the freedom to put your ATTENTION on someone
or
something other than yourself and experience the joy & peace of giving the greatest gift, yourself.

Namaste
