Life is a mess. If you want to help a lot of people, it is better if you take care of your health and live till 80 years old, not 30. So to be helping people a lot you need at some part to be selfish. If you`re talking about being selfless just monk and sitting here meditating without any help to society, then yes, you can have instead of protein the holy spirit. You can be selfless only if you survive, where surviving is inherently selfish.

I was being sarcastic. Unless you're living in the jungle alone, your existence will require either your own or someone else's work or money. And to spread your high consciousness message to as many people as possible requires a lot of work and a lot of money. If you only view money as a means to a materialistic-hedonic end, yes, money will probably not be compatible with high consciousness, but that's a low consciousness view of money.

Can you form a single cogent thought?

I didn’t know I was dealing with toddlers so I will spell it out:

If a group of friends want to play outside tomorrow, but the forecast says it might rain, they will feel fear, because (try to follow) if it rains they can’t play outside.

I hope you understand 


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

Idk have you really played football in real life with your friends or haven`t, but if I remember back to my childhood and this scenario happens, I don`t feel fear, I`m just sad. That`s it.
