Where Ra mentions balancing positive qualities with negative ones, especially when dealing with others, it took me awhile to realize that its purpose is to remain humble (my interpretation at least). We tend to always identify with our positive enlightened views, especially when encountering so-called negativity from others, acting as if we've never behaved in such a way or had such thoughts.
It's easy to look down on others and distance yourself in other words. So personal "positive" opinion can easily create separation. I think this point is perhaps the most illuminating key that Ra was attempting to express. Identifying with others and accepting them is the very essence of serving others; the very essence of unity. You can only merge with another by directly seeing yourself within the other.
"The adept, whether positive or negative, has the same Matrix. The Potentiator is also identical. Due to the Catalyst of each adept the adept may begin to pick and choose that into which it shall look further. The Experience of the Spirit, that which you have called the Moon, is then, by far, the more manifest of influences upon the polarity of the adept. Even the most unhappy of experiences, shall we say, which seem to occur in the Catalyst of the adept, seen from the viewpoint of the spirit, may, with the discrimination possible in shadow, be worked with until light equaling the light of brightest noon descends upon the adept and positive or service-to-others illumination has occurred. The service-to-self adept will satisfy itself with the shadows and, grasping the light of day, will toss back the head in grim laughter, preferring the darkness."
The service-to-self adept is not some evil person that we can't even relate to; it's that part of ourselves that is still separating. We can easily lose polarity.
"The third step is that step which, when accomplished, renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and completely able to know and accept other-selves. [..] There is then no personality in the sense with which the adept begins its learn/teaching."
How many times a day do you spend not identifying with your surroundings? "Thus, to attempt to discern and weave your way through as many group mind/body/spirit distortions as possible among your peoples in the course of your teaching is a very good effort to make." ...where teaching is not so much through spoken word, but by taking so-called negativity and realizing that what you feel is a part of yourself that you don't accept, then giving you an opportunity to find love for the other (yourself). It's why in the Significator of the Spirit the left hand of apparent positive polarity grasps the right of apparent negative catalyst..opposites become one. Wind and weave..the dance..courting the unconscious.
