Divine Selfishness
There’s an early-stage selfishness we all know.
It’s shallow, it’s grabby, it’s off-putting — sometimes even dangerous.
I hate when I’m there.
Then there’s the next stage — independence into interdependence — where the “I” starts becoming “we.”
Where you feel the tribe, the shared mission, the satisfaction of helping others.
But lately… damn. I’ve stumbled into something else. A fourth stage. Integration.
Here, a force moves through me — creating, demanding, steering.
It wants things I wouldn’t necessarily choose.
It’s still, small, but persistent.
The more I listen and act on what it says, the louder it becomes.
Sometimes I hear it and say:
“No, no, no… I can’t do that.”
“No, no, no… I won’t do that.”
And then I do it anyway.
This is what I’ve started calling Divine Selfishness.
It’s not the old self-centeredness.
It’s doing what’s uncomfortable, difficult, even terrifying — not because I like it but because it’s right.
Because some deeper part of me wants it too.
In the first-stage selfishness I want to jump off the ride.
In this fourth-stage Divine Selfishness there’s no question: I’m on it.
I’m not getting off. I’m going where it goes.
It’s done.
And yes — there’s a satisfaction here.
Not one I can explain, but one I can feel.
A power in surrendering to divine will — mundane and glorious, both.
It’s like this voice says:
“Shut up and do your work, Jason.”
And I do. Divinely. For myself.
There’s more power in it than anything I’ve ever known.

This is the beginning of something new.
A new understanding, mixed with action.
