Quote: (80.11)Questioner: Could I say, then, that implicit in the process of becoming adept is the possible partial polarization towards service to self because simply the adept becomes disassociated with many of his kind or like in the particular density which he inhabits?
Ra: I am Ra. This is likely to occur. The apparent happening is disassociation whether the truth is service to self and thus true disassociation from other-selves or service to others and thus true association with the heart of all other-selves and disassociation only from the illusory husks which prevent the adept from correctly perceiving the self and other-self as one.
Kinda strange they would say that service to others as the adept develops also seems to include what appears to be service to self in the form of a certain dissociation.
Also, this is Ra's explanation of the "best form of service to others".
Quote: (17.30) The best way of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self. This involves self knowledge and the ability to open the self to the other-self without hesitation. This involves, shall we say, radiating that which is the essence or the heart of the mind/body/spirit complex.
Speaking to the intention of your question, the best way for each seeker in third density to be of service to others is unique to that mind/body/spirit complex.
So, how can you just say "this is what is service to others", when everyone really has their own way they will discover to be of service?
I agree that your approach is ONE way, but not THE way.
The STO path requires love of self also, but not at the exclusion of other-selves. All is One. Love of other-selves and love of self are the same. Whereas, STS is love of self, at the expense of other-selves. That is the difference.
Yes, we each choose our own path. But Ra has provided clear indications as to what polarizes STO and what polarizes STS.
