Service to self, philosophy.

I mean, her postscript to "Atlas Shrugged" infamously begins with her proclaiming "My personal life is a postscript to my novels. It consists of the sentence: 'And I mean it!'" That really sums up just how dedicated she was to the ideas she was advancing.

The funny thing is that… she didn't. She lived in a rent-controlled apartment and was on amphetamines most of the time, and collected social security and medicare towards the end. I don't begrudge her those entitlement programs, but it seems like she would!

With respect to Crowley, I do think it's possible for positive people to promulgate negative philosophy--no different than mixed channeling in that regard. I have no opinion on his polarity.

Also worth noting that sometimes the instrumental purpose our incarnation serves in others' lives can be different than the lessons we take from it personally. Nietzsche was tormented by his thinking (heck, most of my examples were not exactly content people) but think about all of the reflection his writing engendered. Judging folks' polarity is a fraught affair from our third density incarnate vantage point, and I don't think it accomplishes much good.
