Was prompted to start this thread by the following in Edgar Cayce's quote for the day from ARE:
Think on This...
For, while selflessness is the law, to belittle self is a form of selfishness and not selfless.
~Edgar Cayce
EC, of course, urged everyone to follow path of STO, which I believe is true of Ra also.
It's not always clear when making decisions which way one is going. Also, I think one's ability to understand and make wise decisions is a learning process. I remember in my 20's making some big STS decisions, and fortunately I was able to learn a lot from the rapid karmic blowback that came my way. Fortunately my spiritual helpers were on duty helping me to see the connection between my decisions and the karma, and fortunately it was fast - might have been harder to see the connection if it had taken decades rather than months or years.
I will say that I'm still learning this lesson.
Getting back to the Cayce quote, I can't say that I completely understand it. I remember Jesus said "Love your neighbor as yourself," not "love your neighbor but hate yourself." Also, I do remember the idea that on an airplane it's always been important to put your own oxygen mask on before you help your neighbor put hers on.
