are you doing enough? (to serve)

[Plenum]

Ra uses the term 'positive entities' and 'service-to-others' fairly interchangeably. One can almost see them as being equivalent.

however, sometimes we get caught up on the notion of 'service' and doing 'enough'. As if the societal notions of being of 'service' and beng 'nice and kind' automatically translate to positive polarity.

I don't think this is always the case.

we can serve (and *do* serve) just by being present in this density. for eg:

42.7 On the other hand, however, you are correct in your assumption that the green ray response is not as refined as that which has been imbued with wisdom.

This wisdom enables the entity to appreciate its contributions to the planetary consciousness by the quality of its being without regard to activity or behavior which expects results upon visible planes.

just by being here, is a form of service (the radiating of love and light via the spirit complex, effects on the non-material planes)

but we always like to do more, I think. And by all means, if one can take action on the 'visible planes' and have a positive effect, that is awesome.

but most of what benefits others most about being 'service to others' is not necessarily what we 'do for them', but rather in the essence of what 'positivity' means; which is the presence and attitude of acceptance. When we can accept ourselves, we can accept others, and when we can accept others, they are free to become the best individuals they can be; without the weight of judgemental eyes, or a disapproving glare; they can be free to explore themselves and make an informed (experienced) decision for themselves.

so yes, service-to-others is responding to sincere calls for help when they are made. This may mean looking after an aged parent, taking care of one's pets, of doing volunteer work in whatever capacity. But there is also service on a 'light level'; which is about the radiating of self in a non-visible (not visible to normal eyes) way. And that is plenty of service right there.

so sometimes we beat ourselves up about not 'doing enough'. And there are always ways to become more skillful at our chosen manner of service. But what we do already is quite good enough.

peace and namaste,

plenum

I mean, do you judge yourself about not doing enough?
