The act of eating is a service.

[Patrick]

Ra stated that the purpose of eating in 4d is the learn/teaching of patience. What is the purpose of eating in 3d and what learn/teachings are there for us ?

In my opinion, because this is the density of choice, to make choices about eating that align with the self's chosen path.

Given whatever awareness, information, sensitivities are available to the self, then the self would choose accordingly. If the path is STS, then the self only considers the self in choices. If the self's path is STO, then the self considers all other-selves in his/her choices. If the self is only considering other-selves directly connected with self, then this seems not to be true STO, rather, some hybrid of STO based on concern for one's own circle but not extended to the all.

Thought I would repost this to get back on track. Any other suggestions or comments for Valtor's question?

"If the self's path is STO, then the self considers all other-selves in his/her choices."

All other-selves of the infinite multiverse ?

"If the self is only considering other-selves directly connected with self, then this seems not to be true STO"

If your compassion reaches one it reaches all.
