It doesn't make me more evolved or closer to being Jesus himself. It makes me caring. Something that God expects us to be. We do his will by reaching out to those in need. Those that are hurting.
Sometimes I think those that believe they are so enlightened are fooling themselves. It does sound pretty. Though I find it very egocentric
You serve God to accomplish being closer to him. Which is what he wants. He doesn't say he is going to give us troubles here on earth if we do not. Though if you do follow all the commandments, you are going to stay out of trouble for the most part, as to not bring trouble to you!

No one can tell you HOW to find your true self and anyone that claims to is merely intoxicated by the fumes of their own Ego. Those drunken by their own arrogence do not even know their own true selfs so how could they tell you the Path.

Seinsible, to the point, and well said... I like it.
Perhaps that is why church goers feel a sense of superiority over others...
"ego"
is akin to saying "I could tell you, but you are too stupid to grasp it".
I could tell you more about that, but you are not ready yet to learn that. Just think about what I have just told you, that is a start

I just wanna say that now is time for you to go further in your beleifs. You are not just an human, you are spirit in a human body. That spirit that lives inside you is your higher self (soul).

Your spirit is something unique God gave to mankind so that we would be able to relate to Him. One does affect the other though as well as our physical bodies.
