Yeshua explains the difference between selfishness and prioritizing oneself. Most people get this wrong and feel like thinking about yourself is wrong. Yeshua clarifies it.
Me: What is selfishness? And how is prioritizing yourself and selfishness different?
———————————
Yeshua: Selfishness is simply not caring about how your actions or decisions impact others when you clearly know how it’s going to impact them. If you are not aware of the impact, then that doesn’t make you selfish.
———————————
Me: But the lack of awareness does make it inconsiderate. If people are not equipped to think about others, they behave in a way that.
e.g., Causing inconvenience to others, like playing loud music.
———————————
Yeshua: As I said, if somebody is not aware that their music is affecting you, then they are not at fault because, humanly, it is not possible for them to imagine how their actions impact others when nobody has complained about it to them.
Which is why you must let them know that it is causing you inconvenience. And if they choose to play loud music after that, then that is selfish and intentional.
So, prioritizing yourself is not bad, but simply not making any effort to find a way that can also assist others in situations where their wellbeing is dependent on you is selfishness. Which is usually the case with dependent family members who cannot act on their own accord because of financial issues or disabilities or maybe their children.
So, prioritizing yourself is not a bad thing. It’s only when you are taking actions where you are fully aware of how those actions can hurt others is what selfishness is.
Simply putting focus on yourself is not selfishness. Prioritizing your needs is not selfishness. In fact, that is the way of life. Your world has got all the wrong things.
———————————
Me: So, can you give some examples of selfishness?
———————————
Yeshua: The biggest example is simply cutting out the diversity and inclusion programs in the USA, fully knowing how it impacts economy, the lives of those people, etc, just because it helps the interests of a few.
So that is selfishness in action.
———————————
Me: So what about firing an employee? Isn’t that also harming somebody?
———————————
Yeshua: In your work environments, there are usually agreements on how long it takes for a person to leave a company after giving notice.
In some countries it is agreed to be two weeks. In some countries like yours, it takes one month. So that the person can find another job within that time without compromising their salaries. So these agreements are made between the employer and the employee contractually.
So both the employer and the employees are aware and have agreed to it.
Now, when somebody has agreed to something, then it does not constitute selfishness on the part of the person who’s doing the firing. It’s only selfishness when they do not honor the contract and ask them to leave without any notice affected immediately unless it was previously agreed upon contractually.
So if you have set expectations and received an agreement from somebody, and then if they don’t meet your needs or demands, then you have the right to let them go. That is not selfishness.
———————————
Me: And what about Narcissistic family members?
———————————
Yeshua: Narcissism is a whole big problem. A narcissistic individual will emotionally, financially exploit you, and may even engage in emotional abuse or physical abuse. Those need to be stopped.
So if a person is going no contact or creating boundaries to protect themselves from a narcissistic person, then that is for their own health and safety.
It’s a narcissist who is always selfish because they do not respect people’s boundaries. They do not think about how their behaviors negatively impact others. They do it intentionally. It’s rarely, if ever, that a person who is simply reacting to a narcissist’s manipulation is selfish. They are protecting themselves.
They are not selfish. It’s a narcissist who’s the epitome of selfishness.
They know what they are doing and they keep doing it intentionally, fully aware of the fact that it’s harming the other person. That is what makes them selfish.
They are the very definition of selfishness, and they are the ones who created this concept of shaming others and calling others ‘selfish’ when others are prioritizing their needs. Because they see others like themselves.
They feel everybody is like them, or they’re simply manipulating others and gaslighting others by projecting their own selfishness onto them.
———————————
Me: Aren’t we all projecting, aren’t we simply noticing in others what we already have? This is something Archangel Michael had already said, some of his transmissions.
———————————
Yeshua: So here’s an additional perspective on what he said.
Yeshua goes onto explain what is projection, how we project our beliefs on others, non-duality, and how shadow work and self-forgiveness can help you develop unconditional loving acceptance of the self.
