When an intuitive compass is directed towards compassion - there is an integral test - like a purification - that this character aspiration must go through.
As one genuinely participates in altruistic motive, one starts to generate trust as an energy field within and around the self - trust creates the accumulation of attention - and also, this creates a paradox.
For the would be compassionate person to continue on their path of compassionate aspiration they are then faced with the accumulation of social wealth which subtle forces within the self yet unknown make themselves known - etheric beings we never knew we harboured in the vessel as potential motives and direction come up and provide a myriad of ways to accumulate and use this 'trust' as 'social wealth'.
This also translates to what is known in the common social world as Power.
So understanding this tendency and understanding that no one is immune to it (yes, some are certainly better at allaying the inevitable than others and have greater self control) - it is recognized by the truly intelligent that in order to be truly altruistic - one must develop systems of constant decentralization that operate independently from the self and are not controlled in any way by the self.
This creates accountability.
Understanding that doing good for others is not as simple as just doing good - when trust is accumulated - we accumulate power, attention and wealth in many ways and this must be directed by something outside of the self - a reference point.
Selflessness needs to be selfless. Any accumulation of energy within and as the individual needs to be redirected back to the whole - this will happen in or outside our control. Directed by us - we can remain conscious of the cycle and retain an awareness in observation of it - thus retaining an identity that has a role in consciousness that lasts more than one lifetime.
The human body is a vessel that harbours many beings - not just the temporary thought-form of your identity - many elementals and life and experiences flow through us - we are all channels.
For want of a better term - we are the government of the vessel and not the vessel itself.
Consciousness is not inside the body. Never has been - never been proven - the idea of it being locked in the body as a single thing that lives and then dies is a kind of life sentence in a prison.
The body is the universe. We as one with universe create - we as one with the universe express, allow, love and flow.
All beings of all things - express and experience through us.
This is the value of our attention.
When we focus on one thing, like an artificial technological realm - that is where our creative energy goes - where attention goes energy flows - the path that we focus on is the path that lights up.
