The purpose of our incarnation is to deal with our own issues, life lessons, and karma. However, we spend most of our lives interfering in other people’s lives – dictating to them how they should do things and live their lives – and very little time on our own stuff. The Self loves running away from its own stuff. We also incarnated to gain control over the emotional body. Oh, the emotional body – the Oscar star, the player on the stage, the drama maker, or the recluse or frightened individual scared of its own emotion! Once one removes the emotional body, one can finally see what life is all about.
There are some people who have no emotions; they find it hard to cry, to release their emotion. These are not people who have removed the emotional body; they are ones who have not learned about it yet. They are actually behind the ones who have experienced it and have demonstrated it. As an Oscar winner of huge proportion in the past, I can honestly say that I actually prefer my life now (without the emotional body) to the person I used to be. However, when I am tired or out of sorts, I have been known to allow my emotional body to have control again, but thankfully only until I can get back to normal again.
From this moment on, be aware of what you are saying about another. Is it true, kind, or helpful? Start watching what you say to people and how you talk with others about people. Try not to get caught up in others’ reactions and judgment or criticism. Ask yourself whether they mirror something for you that your Self does not want to see! As you try to do this, watch how the Self will try and pull you back into situations. More than anything, do not justify yourself. All you need to know, as Maitreya writes in his teachings, is that you can stand in front of God today and know that you are not guilty. If you can do that, then you are truly raising your vibration. Have understanding and compassion for every soul. When you can do this, you are truly one with God!

I remember when I was little and my Grandma always taught and ingrained in me to help everyone I could. She said that you had to help them the way THEY needed to be helped– not the way YOU wanted to help them and that made sense to me. People can only be helped the way they need the help. If you help them how YOU need it– then how good is that? Know the person you are trying to help. It is only then that you can help them.
