We agree with your analysis and have been championing the cause and importance of love throughout this discussion. Again, because it is the central need, the central responsibility, and the central obligation of the divine human to live by and through and for love in all you do, the art of living is to maintain a balance between loving others and loving the self without denying either side of things its full measure within those requirements. To be giving to a fault such that one denies the self equal treatment and goes wanting, is wounding one’s own being and one’s own soul which, after all, is yearning for the same things as everyone else—to be accepted, to be feeling worthy and a part of things, wanting to belong and fit in and feel comfortable to be oneself and experience life spontaneously without the logic of a checklist to be doubly sure everything is appropriate and cannot cause any possible problem.
The pursuit of perfection is a kind of folly, but the pursuit of balance is largely in knowing when one is off-kilter in some way and then taking steps to bring things back into balance once again. So the fault is not in wavering from perfection to at times be less in alignment with the divine than ideal, but to discern when this happens soon enough to remedy the situation to restore balance once again to return to divine alignment—that is a goal worth pursuing—and because love has such central importance it will be through the giving and receiving of love that one achieves all of one’s goals, or will struggle and suffer along the way through a lack either in being in a loveless environment leaving little hope for happiness and fulfillment, or being impaired in some way that one is closed off from one’s feelings and unable to have sensitivity and concern for others, to feel compassion, and want to be of help if they struggle and are suffering.
When one is in an ideal balance, one will be looking for ways to help all win and not the self alone, but at the same time, to be an equal partner and to not sit the party out as a wallflower. Your soul has within it everything you need. Each human comes into being in a new incarnation with built-in liabilities from the slings and arrows of the past—the many times of diminishment, struggle, heartache, and failure, and in many cases as well the consequences of harming others out of ignorance, lack of consideration, or even perhaps times of corruption where only feeling power and control over others will bring happiness, and creating a karmic obligation to right that wrong in the future. The interlopers have lost the race long ago in measuring up to the divine human, but by virtue of their technological capabilities and head start and devious nature, they are in command and in control of your world. Getting that back from them needs to be the highest of priorities and you can use these characteristics and profiles to help understand points of differentiation in the players to know what is highest and best to emulate and to strive for.
