Default "Greater good". What it is? What does it mean for you?

With all this talk about lightworkers doing the "greater good", how exactly do you define it? What does greater good mean for you and why do you think you're right? What if you're unknowingly just setting up a huge disaster that will have the exactly opposite effect? (chaos theory)

"Greater Good" can't be defined by the intellect alone. Only your true self (spirit) can know what's for the greater good of all. For example, I get an intuitive feeling to pop by a friends house I haven't seen for years, and I find out he needs my help. I didn't intellectually plan for that, I just "felt" my intuitition tell me to do that.

In another example when doing goal setting long term, I pick goals that fill me up inside and trust the reason for that is because they are for the greater good of all. For example, when I launched my blog, it "felt right". I didn't know how it would all work out, but it felt right, so I did it. How it will help the whole world I don't know, just like Steve didn't know when he launched his site.

Yes but women "listen to their intuition," and they do some stupid ************. I understand that you are at a higher level of conciousness, but please recognize the communication gap. If I tried to follow your lead, I would simply act irrationally.

I believe we create all our experience and everything is a reflection of self. That said...

The greater good is denied self. If all is self, how can I be greater than myself? The only way I can do that is to deny a part of me and believe it is separate from me.

why do you think you're right?
Do you think I'd tell you the wrong answer?

What if you're unknowingly just setting up a huge disaster that will have the exactly opposite effect?
Bring it!

No no. THere is a big difference between listening to you intuition and listening to the emotions created by your hormones.

By intuition I don't mean irrational behaviour. I mean listening to your gut. Hard to explain unless you already know what your intuition sounds like.
