This is a classic case of the old childhood saying: "Takes one to know one"!
We exist and have no need to feel 'special' except in the sense, unlike most, we know why we are here.
So yes, being enlightened to that would make one appear to be selfish, egoic, rebellious... 'special' even different or eccentric, though we dont
view ourselves that way.
However, others do because they see 'it' within us but have no clue what they are seeing. Lacking enlightenment, humans tend to stick bad labels all
over you with sticky notes. We sway from what we dont understand.
We make people feel intimidated, despite our best of intentions. We scare the hell out of people. Frankly. Our parents mostly, God bless them for
raising us haha.
Special or new agey (I detest that term), to the contray, our work is 'awakened doing' which comes directly from the heart. Is done for no other
reason but to uplift and enlighten... we have no need for that al' mighty pat on the back because we receive pure joy by simple awakened doing. Being
in the Now, no past, no future. This moment.
Opps.. that monent just past so it doesnt matter anymore. Opps, happened again... see? Only NOW matters and it is very short term so use it wisely!
We live our life our way because we must to carry out God's will... evolution. Special? HA... funny. Cursed would better describe it. Its a HUGE job.
And it isnt getting easier for I see stupid people everywhere.
We know our jobs, how to carry them out for the betterment of mankind as a whole and thats why we work towards effortlessly.
