Is it okay to withdraw from people and focus only on my own psychology?

Question: I have been refusing to meet people and attend gatherings because it seems like a waste of time and I focus on my psychology. But I am worried about hurting the other person’s feelings. I am sure I’ll be fine if I dissolve the separate self that is worried about it. But if the person has something to gain from interacting with me or sees something in me that would attract them, should I help them? Or is it okay to focus on my own psychology?

Well, many people as they begin to really work on their psychology will feel that they need to go through a period where resolving your psychology becomes the main focus of your life. And therefore, you will often want to minimize the disturbance from other people and withdraw yourself from people who are disturbing to you. And this is perfectly legitimate for a time. You should not think that this is something you should be doing for the rest of your life because what is the purpose of resolving your psychology? It is to attain Christhood. What is the purpose of Christhood? It is to be expressed in raising the all. How can you seek to raise the all, meaning other people, if you withdraw from other people?

The ideal scenario here is that you for a time focus on resolving your psychology. What that means is that you are now overcoming the separate selves that before used to make it difficult for you, troublesome for you to engage with other people. And when you overcome those selves, it is natural that you will now go back to interacting with other people but without those reactionary patterns you had before. Therefore, it becomes much more free, much more relaxed, much more joyful for you to interact with other people. You are, so to speak, no longer trying to change other people in order to change your own state of mind because you have learned how to change your own state of mind by yourself, by the powers of your own mind. This means you can interact with people in a much more free way where you are seeking to allow the flow of the River of Life, the flow of the Christ consciousness through you to help other people.

And it is true that once you have attained some resolution of psychology, other people can benefit from interacting with you. You might be able to teach them, but if nothing else, they can at least see that here is a person that has resolved some of their psychology. If people have known you for a long time, they might say: “What happened to this person? He or she used to always react this way, but now that is not happening anymore. What has happened? Could I perhaps become free as I see my friend having become free”?
