service to self does not result in service to others

False. Lucifer is the "true light-bringer," because in offering the negative polarity, Lucifer also offers a much greater abundance of potential for polarizing positively. Service to self also serves others. Service to others also serves the self. The two are symmetric in this respect.

This is why your model does not work, Tenet.

Service to self, by contrast, does not result in service to others. "Those seeking intelligent infinity through the use of service to self create the same amount of power but, as we said, have constant difficulty because of the concept of separation which is implicit in the manifestations of the service to self which involve power over others. This weakens and eventually disintegrates the energy collected by such mind/body/spirit complexes who call the Orion group and the social memory complexes which comprise the Orion group."

This Ra quotation does not support your thesis. It only supports the concept that service to self seeks power and that this results in an internal friction between other-selves who also seek power.

The fact that service to self also serves others is a mere side-effect. It is not intended.

The fact that service to others also serves the self is also a mere side-effect. It is not any more intended.

When I share my resources abundantly, without attempting to make sure that I'll be taken care of, I create an environment in which others of a similar nature will be attracted to me. I'll attract the equally generous and I will evoke in others a feeling of gratitude. Thus, the self is served. If I serve others with the intention of also serving myself, I am not truly serving others. The concept of service to self must be released before the side-effect occurs. If you read Taoist texts, you will understand better why this is true.

If I horde my resources for exclusive expenditure upon only myself, I create situations of conflict between myself and others, thereby offering striking opportunities for others to polarize (in either direction), opportunities which would not have otherwise existed. Thus, the other is served. If I serve myself with the intention of also serving others, I will project a confused energy which will not provide as many opportunities to polarize as a coherent energy will. So, again, one must release the concept of service to others in order for the side-effect to occur.

No amount of textual hair-splitting will make this symmetrical relationship false. If you only look, you will see it everywhere in your life

Let me emphasize that. Your life experience is what counts the most, not what you interpret the Law of One material to mean. The first governs the second, not the other way around.
