If you help people, but you are driven to do so out of a feeling that you'd be shameful or worthless if you didn't, then that is not high-consciousness.

I see a lot of activists, too, that think they are helping the world, but are actually using anger. Their real gain is in ego. I have a friend who is an activist, who I actually consider a darkworker. She says that anger is what lets her get up in the morning and gives meaning to her life.

Other people work in charities and go to Africa to help out as a way of filling the void, or of punishing themselves as they think they are not worthy of living a good life. Some people feel guilt for enjoying things when other people don't.

You don't have a RESPONSIBILITY to help others. If you do, it is of your own free will. If you think that you just couldn't be complete or happy unless you did these things, then it's time to look inside. If you help people out of stress, I feel like somehow, what you do will end up making things worse. What really matters is the vibration. What you do is just an expression of that.

On the other hand, I think most of us have a drive to help rather like the drive to, for example, sex beautiful members of the opposite gender. It's already there. Just like sexing is only a part of life, so helping is only a part of life. Don't feel guilty if you're not helping. Maybe it's time for some sexing right now.

You're not worth less than others. You don't help others because they're worth more than you. You help them because they are worth the same as you.
