Hi everyone,
Here's something that I've been wondering about for a while. According to TLOO, you must reach 51% service towards others to graduate in to positive fourth density at the time of harvest. This is my goal.
The 51% figure is quoted quite a bit, but I haven't heard so much about what this actually means in ones day to day life. Should we assume this means, literally speaking, every single action you do each day? I.e. at least 51% of all my daily actions must be in service to an other to reach positive polarity? I am not certain this is completely accurate considering that many of my daily actions such as showering in the morning, walking to work, feeding myself food, etc. are naturally in service to myself. Of course I don't think I could consider these things to be 'negative' (in the LOO sense) since they are required for my basic functioning as a human in society.
Or is the 51% figure relating to strictly my interactions with others? I.e. whenever I am given the opportunity to interact with another in any way, if I am thinking about the other person's feelings / interests/ wellbeing at least 51% of the time, I am harvestable? This seems more likely than the first scenario.
OR, is it in relation to my state of mind? I.e. if I am mentally concerned about the wellbeing of others 51% of the time, I am harvestable. I would mention at this point that this scenario and the previous one probably are one in the same most always. But not in every situation, perhaps. Say for example, I am walking down the street and eating a sandwhich. I could easily attempt to give half of it to someone else, but I instead decide to finish it myself since I am hungry. What is the polarity of this non-action? Another example- I saw a (terrible) movie recently in which entities are in a grim prison scene. There is basically non-stop violence and everyone is harming someone else. It made me feel awful, and I honestly felt very sorry and sad for each and every one of them. I wanted to hug them all, tell them it was alright.. maybe not totally accurate in a literal sense, but that was the equivalent feeling I had. This is an example of what I would call 'mental' polarization in the positive sense. So do you suppose this is valid?
As you may have gathered from my questions, I'm a bit puzzled by the criteria for graduation even after reading lots of the L/L transcripts. I some times have doubts about how I should conduct my everyday choices. My 'gut' feeling is that the steps of light judge your innermost feelings towards others, the everyday actions are just the natural ramifications of your thoughts. But- I would be very interested to hear what others think on this. And if they are different than my views, how do you live your life in a harvestable state of being / mind?
