As I understand it, this is an example of service to others. "...service to others results in service to self, thus preserving and further harmonizing the distortions of those entities seeking intelligent infinity through these disciplines."
Yes, exactly. Therefore, if we can do both at once, how is it that we are having to "choose between" one or the other?
Quote:Service to self, by contrast, does not result in service to others. "Those seeking intelligent infinity through the use of service to self create the same amount of power but, as we said, have constant difficulty because of the concept of separation which is implicit in the manifestations of the service to self which involve power over others. This weakens and eventually disintegrates the energy collected by such mind/body/spirit complexes who call the Orion group and the social memory complexes which comprise the Orion group."
Again, exactly. Therefore, why would we take a similar "concept of separation" and attempt to apply it to the positive path? The whole idea of the positive path is that it is bereft of separative concepts.
Perhaps I am beating a dead horse... but take a look at what you have said and look at this picture again:
Is this not congruent with what you said above? Service to others leads to service to self... but not the other way around.
