Dear All,

I always appreciate this site for solving my questions. Thank you all.

This time, I have a question regarding the sentense below.

"Please bring enegy for her highest good."

Basically, dictionaries say that the meaning of "the highest good" is "the best thing".

But I wonder that in the sentence "Bring enegy for her highest good", "highest good" can mean something like "soul" or "highest existance", and therefore, "receiving energy for one's highest good" does not necessarily directly beneficial for the person, but in a wide view, including "past life" or something, it is very beneficial.

I hope I was able to express my quesiton as I wanted.
If you could not understand what I meant, please let me know. I will try again.

I appreciate if you could give me your opinions.

Thank you very much.

I would not try to read too much into the meaning. I would agree that "the best thing" is a sufficient meaning.
