Conversations with God, Book 4: Awaken the Species

by Neale Donald Walsch

If you really, genuinely, and humbly notice within that your personal, interior process is not focused on anyone else, and certainly not on “saving the world,” but is only intended to move forward, as best you can, your own individual and personal evolution, and if you quietly share this with anyone who asks about your change of behavior—because others will notice it—you will not take yourself to the place you’ve described. And if you really, genuinely, and humbly accept what you have called your own “so-called” imperfections (I see you as perfect just as you are, but we’ll discuss that later), and you view yourself and declare yourself to be a person whose evolution is “in progress” and not anywhere near complete, you will also avoid the place you’ve described. If you are clear that the purpose of your decision to accept the invitation to help awaken your species is not to set you up as some sort of leader, but to simply and humbly share that it is you who have been led, by a deep guidance from within, and now see that there is another way to be human—a way that humbly seeks to be more beneficial to yourself and others—you will never self-aggrandize.
