There is much talk around this word "service"... but what is service?
Is service akin to being a servant? Bending one's will to that of an other-self (another self)? Capitulating to the endless demands of the ego?
In the context of the Ra material, does "service" really have anything to do with the "service" we would expect to receive in a restaurant? In the spiritual sense, does service have anything really to do with "being waited upon"?
Does it really matter to whom the service is offered? If there is no real distinction between self and other, what does it matter who the recipient is, if indeed it is true service? Isn't there only one recipient to speak of, anyway?
Or does service have something more to do with what is being served? As in... what are you serving for dinner? Hot n' readies? Frozen fish sticks prepared in the microwave? Or are you serving a lovingly-prepared nutritious meal?
If the meal is prepared with love and light, does it matter who it is served to? Or even if it is eaten?
