I very much relate to the idea that we reflect the qualities of the creator when we embody love, care, and altruism.
It is important to recognize the difference between egotistic “altruism” and true altruism, one being a quality of the creator that helps bring us closer to unison and the other being a psychologically self-serving act. False altruism can very much seem like the real thing, and often times takes a great deal of personal experience and suffering to understand and implement its genuine form.

Hello again!
There is an expectation to gain insights through the teaching and viewpoint of another. This man recognizes that one can learn from others, even of they are “less knowledgeable” or seemingly lacking intelligence. Even mistakes and negative outcomes of others can help to teach another of the dangers of the actions which led to such a result. One can always find wisdom in any situation with this perspective.
The desire for this lesson is to absorb as much as possible while maintaining an open and fluid mind.

Hello,
My birth name is Harrison, but I also go by my chosen name L.A.M. (Lux Animae Meae).
I was very interested in higher education and “intelligence” in my earlier years, though it was a great source of egotism and arrogance for me. I have over the last decade decided to focus on spirituality and working with others, specifically youth. I currently work as a youth counselor at a Juvenile Detention Center and I absolutely enjoy being able to invest into some of the most vulnerable youth on a daily basis. I have read many books on ancient and hermetic philosophy, including ones on the topic of the Kabbalah. I have recently had a strong breakthrough, so to speak, in my spiritual practices and I am seeking more detailed instruction, as I am aware that there are many aspects of sacred knowledge that are not written and only passed down directly from teacher to student.
