Service to self / service to others

[chamkigirl]

This has really helped, though I am still a bit confused about how someone of negative polarity can be harvested.

Perhaps it would help if you worked out your feelings a bit more here in this thread.  What exactly is it about the concept of the negative polarity being harvestable that confuses you?  Is there a pre-existing belief you hold that this idea conflicts with?

Thanks, Jeremy, for encouraging to resolve my query.

Well, I suppose "service to self" comes across as something "selfish", implying a certain value judgement. I understand that a STO oriented person might also risk becoming somewhat of a martyr, and that there needs to be a healthy balance with STS. But, someone primarily oriented as STS seems like he/she wouldn't really be living the Law of One, so to say, as he wouldn't experience himself as "other selfs".

As I read on through the material, I am learning to shed my tendency to judge STS bit by bit, but I'm not quite there yet. Like I really don't get how Hitler could not graduate in negative polarity, but Genghis Khan did. I don't get how he could be "depolarized" because he saw himself as Germany's saviour.
