Perhaps you could ask for clarification upon the two modes of STS that one may extract from advanced understanding:

STS as it arises from the material illusion, in which the entity seeks to gratify the temporary self-created personality at the expense of others, valuing only the "self" and seeking, through manipulation, selfish drives and cunning, to obtain power and glory for the self even if it entails that another might lose something.

And STS as is seen from the lens of absolute unity, in which it is completely understood and felt that the "self" within one's self and the "self" within others is the ever waiting, calm, perpetually observant essence of the One Infinite Creator; as such when an individual entity performs acts of any kind, be they compassionate attempts at service or underhanded negative actions, it is the Creator whom you interact with. Thus when that individualized aspect of the Creator were to serve another, the Creator would be aware of this, and thus it would seem that "good karma" is facilitated in which future acts of kindness are performed unto the being. In this way, serving others (Creator) entails the self (Creator) ending up in circumstances seen as positive or beneficial, i.e. being served.

I'm trying to think of a good way to phrase it, though I hope this helps you Monica.
