Selfishness Vs.

Unselfishness
Pity those poor, duped, selfish people who think theyve got no time to learn to care for another human being, to learn
responsibility for another little soul! (I:27)
Only those who abandon their own selfish desires have the ultimate privilege to use My Power to the utmost, without
limitations.
Shed the cloaks of darkness, of pride and selfishness, and nothing will be impossible for you! (I:45)
Becoming aware of whats happening, of what others are feeling and going through is the opposite of leading introverted
lives. (I:54)
Strait is the way and narrow is the gate which leadeth unto life and few there be that find the way of unselfish love. (I:69)
Man is just reaping the results of the seeds of selfishness, of wanting to enjoy, take, consume, without giving anything in
return. (I:91)
Only those who truly strive to prefer others above themselves, who are willing to put their own desires on the backburner
in order to put Me first, only those find in Me the power to overcome him, the great tempter, the great lover of self.
He that loseth his life for My sake the same shall save it. (I:93)
My way up is down, to the death of self; self-confidence, self-reliance, self-sufficiency. And up on the wings of a glorious
resurrection from the ashes of that death: a new creature that doesnt need to worry how its going to accomplish or cope
with this, that and the other, but who simply rises above by My power, in God-given joy and carefree trust and faith. (I:144)
If its only yourself you show and portray, it comes across as presumptuous and arrogant and pushes them away.
But if you are connected with Me and are poled correctly, you will radiate love and humility, and thats what will attract
them. (I:151)
Selfishness weakens your spirit. Pray against selfishness everyday! (I:204)
How can you think that someday youll be ready and faithful not to deny Me, and to stand strong in the hour of
temptation, when you cant resist the little temptations of selfishness right now? (I:248)
Discover the thrills and the ecstasy of giving unselfishly to those from whom you might not expect much in return, but
who might yet surprise you, if you only give them a chance!
You never know what unexpected rewards might come to you through unselfishly giving to and loving someone you
might consider unlovely... (I:379)
Are you willing to lay down your own desires on the altar, in order to serve Me and further My Kingdom? As long as you
are ridden by your own selfish desires, you're not different from anyone else in the world. (I:399)
If you think about what challenges are still up ahead for you, don't you think it's time to mature, sober up and put your
own selfish desires on the backburner? (I:427)
I wasn't sent to save Myself, but to save all of mankind. The basic lesson and purpose in all is to refuse to walk the path
of selfishness, not to seek to save oneself, but others; not to live for oneself, but for others. (I:452)
The devil has a much easier time to enter your ranks when you're being selfish and off guard.
I'm trying to help you to score points in the love game, so I'm showing you what unselfish things you could do.
Look out for opportunities to do unselfish deeds, so you can score points and collect blessings! (I:456)
Some of the greatest miracles - and most needed ones - of this day and age are the healings of spiritual diseases, like
selfishness.
The more you are willing to forego the selfish pleasures of this world and the more you invest into the life to come
through unselfish deeds and acts of kindness, or simply giving My message to others, the more you will be rewarded with
glimpses and foretastes of the heavenly rewards already in this life. (I:457)
People have become more selfish than ever before, as Paul and others have prophesied about these times.
So, how badly do you want to be different? How badly do you want to be unselfish? (I:514)
Many might say that My life was wasted, and I was being wasted and looked definitely wasted by the time I carried that
cross. But "wasted" can also just mean a very intense form of "being spent", and as far as eternal rewards go, nothing is
really wasted in a life that's spent in giving unselfishly and living for others, whether they be your own children I have
entrusted in your care, or others I lead across your path.
All in all, theirs will have been a much wiser investment than that of all the selfish lives put together. (I:517)

Keep in mind what you're fighting for: the defeat of self in favor of greater love, unselfishness and sacrifice for others! Learning to be there for others, and to give, not just to receive!
Continue to bear in mind that heavenly, golden and noble goal of unselfish love!
Don't try to sneak out of those little unselfish jobs you can do for others, but do them from the heart, willingly, as unto Me,
knowing that those are the kind of things that will strengthen you in the best and most worthwhile and noblest of all
disciplines! (I:537)
In some ways, the selfish way is the easier way. You have to carry the devil's heavy yoke, but for that you don't need to
share your life with others, you don't have to give and pour out your life to others, as service for Me requires, and thus for
some it's simply easier to serve the enemy. (I:557)
Camouflaged as freedom, doing your own thing will only wind you up in the chains and fetters of selfishness.
Only on the straight and narrow path of obedience you will find the true freedom one finds in unselfishness, not seeking
your own thing, but the happiness of others.
Doing your own thing is still the same, age-old pursuit of your own happiness and satisfaction, which simply won't make
you happy. Only in keeping My rules do you find My grace and power you need in order to perform the tasks of
unselfishness, the things one needs to do in order to make others happy. (II:95)
Combating selfishness is a hardcore reality issue, too much hardcore for some people, to confront themselves with such
a fight! This is only for the real men and women, those who want the real fight, those who have got the stuff and what it
takes to face the real enemy: their pride, the devil and their own selfishness. (II:98)
Will you bear this cross for Me?
The hurting, the pain, the sacrifice and the humbling, as opposed to the way of self, the selfish way, the easy, comfortable
way? (II:266)
If someone constantly seeks their way up to the sunny peaks in pursuit of selfish pleasure and "good times," they will
inevitably land down on the rock bottom of an empty soul, because they're just missing the goal. (II:278)
Everybody can live a selfish little life.
I'm proud of each one who dares to be different, who dares to step out beyond the confines of what's the comfortable,
natural, selfish tendencies and preferences! (II:295)
Its a more selfless thing to invest your energies in people, because the rewards dont always look that promising. Its a
thankless world. But if you do it in the light of the fact that the Kingdom of God youre supposed to seek first consists
of people, and you know that if you do, all these things shall be added unto you, you can know that there is going to be
something in it for you by faith, straight from the hand of God. (2011:84)
Its hard to be truly happy as long as youre selfish or lazy, and the most effective way for Me to deal with those traits is
for Me to rub them under your nose in concentrated form for you to deal with in another person. I give you some of your
own medicine, or rather, of your illness and virus, so to speak, and it serves as some sort of antidote. You simply dont
want any more of it after that. (2011:90)
I said that I would use any kind of people, as long as theyre willing to do My kind of work in this day and age, but I didnt
say that I was necessarily going to leave them in whichever shape they are. I cannot really use selfish people for a work
that has always been standing out for unselfishness as one of its principal trademarks. (2011:104)
The less of a personal agenda you have, the more room is there in your life for Mine, a selfless agenda that culminated in
giving My life for others, the way I ultimately would love for you to do it, too, regardless of personal losses or gains.
(2011:110)

The greatest rewards arent handed out to those who are only in it for the rewards. In fact, they wont even manage to do
the selfless deeds that are really required for the highest rewards. The rewards cant be the motivation, since it would be
a selfish one, constantly feeding your ego and pride and sense of self-accomplishment, instead of the necessary love and
humility it takes to really lay down your life for others and do truly great works. (2011:142)
Having to put up with the hostility and selfishness of people around you causes you to turn to Me for solutions. It makes
you realize that this world is definitely not your home, and My hope is that it will cause you to turn more toward Me and
your true and eternal Home. (2012:9)
Thats one reason I brought you where people on average are even more selfish in many aspects than where people have
been framed by Christian principles for centuries: I wanted you to get a glimpse of how ugly selfishness really is.
It may not be as obvious when its hidden beneath a veneer of etiquette and outward politeness. - But how about a full
view of it in all its undisguised ugliness? Imagine Me saying, So, you still wanna be selfish? You wanna be like that?
Perhaps you can use it as an incentive for not wanting to be like that work more on the levels of selfishness and
laziness

How unselfish can you be? (2012:91)

If you still havent found what youre looking for, it may be because youre not willing to pay the price for it when its
knocking on your door, and it may look quite different from what you expected and be found in a very different place,
namely self-abandon, and in giving of your substance, instead of following the spin of the world, ever wanting, looking for
some outside factor to bring you satisfaction
Its natural that people develop greater energy for the things they enjoy doing. The sad part is that its usually some
selfish little activity that people enjoy most, and theres not much gratification for them in more sacrificial activities of the
kind where youd be helping someone. (2012:93)
Self-sufficiency enables people to live isolated lives from others. They dont need others, so why should they be nice to
them? Its basically one of the evils at the root of this worlds system, and why so many people are so selfish and stingy.
They fend for themselves, care and supply for themselves, so why should they ever need anyones help? And in return,
all they demand is that no one should ever ask for theirs, either.
A life without helpful interaction with each other, a life without love, a life just lived for oneself, is not really much of a life
at all. It may sound tempting and intriguing at first, but will wind up to be shown up as woefully lacking. (2012:103)
Dont be too disappointed if I dont allow you to thrive too much at their game, because it isnt yours. Their game is a
selfish game, when I have called and chosen you to play the game of love. (2012:106)
So theyre selfish. - But how about you?
And which selfishness is worse? That of him who ought to know better than to be selfish and withhold!
Its the selfishness you criticize about the materially rich, thinking, If theyd just share a fraction of it
Well, youre spiritually rich, and even though its substantially harder to share that kind of riches, arent you the least bit
ambitious for My sake, theirs and your own to make a difference? (2012:107)
If you want to know whats wrong with the people and the society all around you, its this: they dont feel like serving
anyone, except themselves, and thats just plain selfishness that makes everyone around miserable. (2012:131)
Changes may not be as beautiful as what you had before, just as nothing was ever as beautiful as Eden for Adam and
Eve, but itll just have to make do until you reap the ultimate consequence for the sinful, willful life of always pursuing
your own thing and desires (2012:139)
Doing what you want and like is not the definition of true freedom. Its basically the definition of selfishness, and the
reason the world has gotten into such a mess.
Every bad, selfish, negative choice (= sin) you make in life is a minus. Every unselfish act that follows the example I gave
on the cross is a plus. (2012:151)
The selfish dont understand why folks would voluntary choose to take some considerable amounts of trouble upon
themselves for the sake of someone else, another, even seemingly lesser creature
Thats why the Fathers wisdom largely remains a mystery until the whole plan unfolds in its full perfection, impossible to
grasp for those with carnal minds on purely egocentric wavelengths (2012:154)
Some people are so full of themselves that they have no capacity whatsoever of tuning in to other people, their needs,
their wavelengths, or what makes them tic, much less of putting themselves in a position of willingness to even consider
being able to learn anything from them (2012:163)
Looking for selfish pleasure, the same everyone else in this empty, vain and selfish world does, I cant bless with the life
more abundant that I promised. It simply doesnt come in this way!
Selfish ambition is not the Way of Life; youve got to strive for more than that. (2012:170)
Losing yourself isnt altogether a bad thing, as far as Im concerned. Sometimes losing yourself youll find something
better. People could be doing so much better with a little more love instead of self-this and self-that (2012:185)
In order to really make a difference and show a different kind of example, this should challenge you first of all to make
sure you are considerate and unselfish, and think of new ways of showing consideration for others. (2013:4)
How about pouring a little more into the lives of others without expecting more from them than theyre capable of
offering? (2013:23)
You see everyone else around you do the same thing: selfishly and indifferently to the plight of the needy, pursue their
own interests, and you automatically figure thats what youre supposed to do, regardless of all I can say to help you see
things differently.
Its like I said, as in the days of Noah: It was all about eating, drinking and getting a family started The preservation of
ones own name and bloodline, no matter whether good or bad, no matter whether those lives are lived for any higher
purpose. Its just preservation of self, thats all, and thats why the root of the problem with this society boils down to
selfishness, even if it may be disguised at times as a life selflessly devoted to their own offspring. Its the kind of love

they know: love for their own. (2013:26)

Making having fun in life your most important goal can be a weakness and loss, because its selfish interest, when it
should rather be to help those who may be seeking for truth, forgiveness or life eternal
Those who are interested only in finding their own fun (especially when they had learned something else) arent going to
wind up too happy, because seeking your own fun is basically selfishness, and not going to be rewarded if youre
supposed to help others find their happiness instead of just seeking your own
Unselfishness is the answer and something to look for to cultivate and obtain. Giving love is a better life method than
constantly seeking it and pleasure for yourself all the time. (2014:7)
To be worried about what you get all the time is basically selfishness, and thats not a good way to go or path to take!
Giving is a lot better! (2014:10)
If you just worry about your own happiness and satisfaction, thats selfishness; and what good repercussions can you
expect in your life from that? Sometimes its time to show that youve either finally learned or are at least willing to learn
to care more about the happiness of others (like your wife and children maybe your Saviour, too), instead of your
own, constantly. (2014:24)
Try and remember to make your family members happiness more important than your own! Be less selfish, that means!
Live less for yourself and more for the others who are part of your life! That's another big difference between your
country and others, or between selfish and unselfish people (2014:32)
The loss of the selfish desires and wishes to stay alive for, may be the most helpful things in a persons life in order to
finally do the unselfish things for others
Thats one of the helpful things and sides of suffering.
There are some things that are better and easier to do when youre not too much into the gears of lifting up the self
Some of the weaknesses in humanity can lift up its true strengths worth more than any of those jobs that served to lift
up the self or financial gain
Living for others, after all, is a higher purpose than material gains (2014:35)
Just finding out what you want and getting it isnt always that safest road to happiness. Naturally, its a bit more selfish to
just look for what you want, and thats not the way to ensure happiness! (2014:49)
Isnt it worth in whatever you have to be going through, to be able to stick for as long as possible? To have a greater and
larger range of unselfishness than youve had or still have, wouldnt it be worth it to learn some of that? (2014:51)
What if its true that as Gods Son I came to die for you all? And that living for others instead of for oneself is a much
more blessed thing and rule to follow, as God instituted? Unselfishness is a better thing and way to live than being selfish
until death
If you can let the needs of the rest of the world affect you a little more than your own, you can be pretty sure that thats a
positive, because unselfish thing for Me. (2014:53)
Life just lived for oneself is not really worth it according to a God and superior Creator Who is Love.
If God is Love, what do you think you can earn from and through all the selfishness, greed and lust, which seem to be
normal human feelings, but more likely because they allowed the enemy to take over this world? (2014:98)
Life on Earth is not part of the eternal life I came to give folks who believe in Me. But part of what is very similar between
the two is putting others lives before your own, and grant them their desires, instead of just trying to make your own
come to pass constantly. (2014:102)
Why not learn to be a servant? Serving the ones youre living with, or serving Me by doing so, and esteeming them
more important than yourself, different from the selfish society in general of the world, which is a different system than
what I taught My folks to live for.
Living for love is a different matter. Its not just living for oneself and own advantage.
According to intelligence, those whove got it beat others, gain more, and are a lot more selfish in many ways than those
who consider love a higher value. (2014:103)
If you can keep love up as the top thing in your life, which the Bible says is the same as God, the Creator of everything,
and make it more important in your life than money and physical success in other words, you put unselfishness above
the things motivating most people like selfishness instead of its opposite, youll raise up the quality of your life for
sure. (2014:128)
Remember that not paying all the attention to yourself and your own desires might turn out to be of greater value in the
end!
After all, youll be paid great rewards for the things you didnt do just for yourself. Things will be considered worth a lot
more that youve done for others. Being selfish isnt the goal or the top of things, or of life, but being unselfish for a
change.

So, think a bit more about those things that make you great for Me! Try to think of the great value of unselfishness!
It takes a while to learn the larger greatness of unselfishness, larger than the personal desires most people have in their
lives, but in the end, this lesson if you learn it will certify the establishment of a real lasting value of life, and a vaster
one than the usual things people often yearn and long for the material things, or growing of ones own strength and
greatness in physical things.
Sometimes it pays to pay attention to what the desires of others are, and not just your own!
Sometimes you know that thing in theory, but to practice it in deed and in action is a lot tougher.
You can tell how much more selfish children are becoming these days much more than they were even vaguely allowed
to be some decades ago So, sinfulness and selfishness have become more accepted in this world, and you cant
imagine how this is going to make life down on Earth more pleasant or even heavenly. (2014:129)
If Im not as realistic to you as you are yourself for you, and on top of it, your own desires are more important to you than
what those around you want or need, it sort of shows a fairly common problem of selfishness in this world, and perhaps
one reason why happiness in it is becoming rarer and rarer.
If you and I know that My will is more important to you, trust Me: life will become a lot more pleasant for you, because it
wont be run anymore by selfishness powered by your own desires, but something greater.
It may take some time to really get into the spirit and mood of unselfishness, but if you do, just recognize it as the way
things ought to be, and the goal you were meant to achieve!
If you can follow Me, then follow Me especially away from your own selfishness and desires, because My goals are and
always have been elsewhere. Try to seek those goals and desire to accomplish them Mine and the Fathers instead of
your own.
Love is greater than selfishness, since God is Love. (2014:143)
The sort of chastisement the Word of God promises for His children should result in you becoming a better, more humble
and loving, less selfish person! (2014:149)
Try to be less concerned about yourself! Youll see: thats the Christian way of managing things and living more
pleasantly. (2014:159)
The greatest thing to learn in life is to overcome ones sins and manage to jive into the ways of love, instead. See, all the
other human traits are basically based on selfishness, but love is the opposite, and therefore so worthy of managing to
make the main force in ones life, as opposed to all the other, natural ones folks are born with originally. (2014:183)
A family to take care of and help to care for is something selfless; and you could pour as much power and effort into it as
you can, instead of putting your own well-being and enjoyment in the first place.
Turn things around, become a less selfish person, and thus with the ability to look better forward to the Hereafter My
Place, where selfishness in the past life isnt that greatly rewarded.
Let the harder times make you stronger, braver, and less selfish! (2015:86)
Fight to become a better and true disciple, and not like those who only thought of what was going to be in it for
themselves! Remember that thats the kind of selfishness the enemy sows, and not what should cause any of My
followers to stumble down into the deep abyss You can tell that the situation youre in and what happened to you is
pretty close to that, but youre still having another chance to learn to do better, and get out of that gear of self-interest
Think a bit more about the others, and become someone who lives for others, and not just for himself and his own wellbeing! (2015:112)
Let your life turn into something it ought to be, not as that of so many others who mainly think about themselves and
their own well-being! So, selfishness is still a big enemy to overcome; but remember that Were Here to help you, and with
Our help its not impossible! (2015:113)
Another weakness wrapped up in self, such as self-righteousness and selfishness: self-pity. And its another one you
should learn to get the victory over. Handle whatever life gives you to deal with in a state thats at least slightly more
positive. Yes, life is tough, but for many its even tougher, and you ought to have a more grateful and positive attitude,
and not just pity yourself so much!
So, can you make an effort to at least try to aim for some improvement, instead of taking a role of a permanent victim
bathing in self-pity? How about counting your blessings? (2015:115)
Live life a bit more for Us and others, helping them to get to know Us or especially Me, for starters and less selfishly.
(2015:136)

Can you learn what life is all about? The Lesson of Love?
Many dont want to because theyre too selfish.
Unfortunately, the main power of this world is selfishness instead of love, and thats why it wont continue forever, the
way it has gone (2015:145)
Living a selfish life geared to ones own pleasure isnt what will make them arrive in Heaven with the confidence that they
did all they could to bring others Up Here, which should be the purpose for followers of Mine! (2015:155)

When theres still some jobs for you to do down there, including children to raise, being a decent husband, and in
general, a helper to those around you, since otherwise, if it would just be a permanent longing for Here, where youll wind
up happier, it would be a bit selfish, wouldnt it? (2015:177)
Gear your life a bit more according to your faith and the higher values youre supposed to believe in: love as the main
force, instead of selfishness!
Selfishness can make you lazy, whereas doing more for others keeps you more active, and accordingly, not too
depressed about so little you accomplish! (2015:184)
Selfishness cant be rewarded.
Keeping the heavenly life thereafter selfishly for yourself without sharing it with others is not something I can in any way
approve of without punishment handed out accordingly! (2015:188)
Consider it a test whether you can think and care a bit more about others than just yourself and your own state and wellbeing! How unselfish can you manage to be?
Folks just thinking about themselves, like Judas and others, dont have a happy ending of their lives to show forth.
(2015:201)

Its time to show whether life is just supposed to serve your own happiness and contentment, or youre willing to be less
selfish than that, and would also be willing to live to make others happy, and not just yourself. (2015:207)
Selfishness vs. unselfishness is one of the major lessons of life.
Its not all about what you want and are craving for! And with kids around you who are even more on that wavelength
well, if may definitely teach you the reason why! As well as put you a bit in the Fathers shoes to see what its like to
have kids largely concerned about their own cravings and desires. And just as you know they have to learn better, youre
getting the point you might as well, too.
Theres a reason why youre having to go through tough things - Mainly to bless you with a more positive and unselfish
attitude.
Giving others around you a bit more emphasis and attention, well, thats what life and its sometimes tough times are
largely all about! Dont forget or neglect to make that the main purpose and meaning of your life! Thats what its all
about! (2015:233)
Lifes a lesson on what not to do, how not to behave and act, if you want to do it the proper way Our way. It includes the
experience of learning about the mistakes one can make by being governed mainly by selfish intentions, being concerned
about ones own welfare, instead of that of others.
The large majority of folks down there dont ever learn the principal lessons of life Wed like to teach them, but are more
the students of Our enemy. How to make things best for oneself.
So, not to be as concerned about oneself as others that would be a nice one for each to learn. - But evidently a hard
and tough lesson in a world ruled by the author of selfishness and pride.
So, one of the ways of learning how to do it is to experience first how not to. And you can tell from the fruits you reap by
doing it the wrong way the selfish way.
Success for Us means accomplishing things to help others, not just to elevate oneself and their own role in that system
pretty much established by the one who came up with all that evil the road of selfishness down there, as opposed to the
ways of Love I came to introduce on the planet.
So, whose student and follower are you going to be? One of the founder of trouble through selfish behavior, or Mine, Who
came to give His life to those on Earth whod accept Me as the Fathers gift of Salvation from the results of selfish deeds,
acts and behavior?
To be more concerned about others would definitely be a plus-point in learning to apply that making love the greater
force of influence and motivation throughout that life down there, even if its a little tough to do so when the majority of
those around you dont. But be not as influenced by their behavior, but try to keep in mind Mine, and what I came to the
world to teach and show as the better alternative! (2016:57)
Following Me means learning to go the unselfish, sacrificial way. (2016:62)
Chasing your own pleasures is what everyone else does in the commercial world, and it cannot be rewarded. (2016:77)
