Who is Paxus Calta?  Why was this posted?  What is the response the poster
seeks?
 
John Fritz, NW Arkansas.
 
 

'Modesty is dangerous: If we believe we are here to do something, if in fact
we have the daunting task of turning around a system which appears destined
not only to degrade, demoralize and dehumanize us, but to destroy the
ecosystem in the process - we don't have time for outdated social customs.
You need to tell me what you can do, what you are good at, how you can
contribute to helping to make these changes. And i in turn need to tell you
the same. Anything less endangers us. Anything less leaves one of us
wondering why the other is not being clear, 'Are you unaware of your gifts?
Are you unsure of them ? Am i wrong in estimating your ability?'     Paxus
Calta

Perhaps not modesty, but humility is of crucial importance for it allows us
to listen, to be guided. If we believe we are here to do something its best
to let our higher self lead the way. We may have strong views but by
leading just with our minds and not our hearts we may be shortchanging
ourselves by making our exhaustive actions less effective.

bless all
