In each moment, we are either ascending or descending, so to speak; we are either becoming more human or more machine-like, more mindful or more mindless. We are never still - stillness is an illusion. This is simple enough to understand, isn't it?
The only possibility is that we move in one direction or another, the only possibility is that we change. Change is the only constant, but this is where it gets interesting - since there is only change and that fact never changes, change can be said to not exist at all - change is actually the illusion.
So, on one level, there is only change and stillness is illusory; on another level, there is only stillness and change is illusory. It seems paradoxical because both are simultaneously true, but it is more akin to polarity. The reality is change, which is often related to the feminine - it is a dancing. Within this feminine reality is the masculine, which is the unchanging and steady. The 'seen' is the feminine and the 'seer' is the masculine; the 'world' is the feminine and the 'witness' is the masculine.
I hope this makes more sense.
I understand what you are saying per se, but trying to follow you to the original question which was:
(03-16-2013, 11:08 AM)We are God Wrote: If your desire is to serve yourself at the expense of others, then by doing so you are providing catalyst for others and in turn offering them service, are you not?
So, if I am to connect your previous thoughts to the above question, then what you are asking is: if there is a paradox in serving others or the self, because either service results also in the opposite service. Is this correct?
If so, then I would agree, but to a certain extent, as I see that there is still a difference. If I am negatively polarized fifth density entity, then I would enjoy causing pain to those of third density whose distortions or pre-incarnative choices allow me to energize/accentuate these distortions. The entity greeted by me would then experience pain. Am I not of service to this entity? Are my efforts not of most benefit to this entity? Well, I don't know, brother, but this is what happened to L/L group when they were channeling Ra. Fourth density tried to tempt each entity in the group, but failed, because the group continued to serve others. So there were no entries into the mind and spirit complexes of those three, as I understand it. This caught attention and interest of fifth density negative friend. This entity noted that the most vulnerable was Carla because of her pre-incarnative physical complex distortions. It then energized these distortions, causing pain and all kind of difficulties to her.
As Ra said, some enjoy picnic of sunshine and joy, while others enjoy another sort of picnic, of sufferings of others, examination of the perversities of nature, difficulties and pain. But both serve the One Creator, sure. There is nothing else to serve. Ra said that it is impossible not to serve the Creator, *but* that there *are* various distortions of this service.
Not sure that this is what you were asking, but I tried.

But in the make-believe, fantasy world where "the power of intention" is discovered, it is indeed. And so we do our best.
"The peoples of Maldek had a civilization somewhat similar to that of the societal complex known to you as Atlantis in that it gained much technological information and used it without care for the preservation of their sphere following to a majority extent the complex of thought, ideas, and actions which you may associate with your so-called negative polarity or the service to self. This was, however, for the most part, couched in a sincere belief/thought structure which seemed to the perception of the mind/body complexes of this sphere to be positive and of service to others. The devastation that wracked their biosphere and caused its disintegration resulted from what you call war."
Good point! I also thought that it was all about the intention, but you are right. It is not that simple.
Not only Maldekians had a perception of being of service to others, while in fact they were of service to self, this happened to Egyptian priests too (Ra, 60.29). But this is veiled third density. You can think something, but many times find that you were simply wrong in your belief. So let's look at those who are not velied and confused, the Confederation, and specifically at their intention:
Ra, 24.4 Wrote:In the Egyptian and the South American experiments results, though not as widely devastating, were as far from the original intention of the Confederation. It was clear to not only us but also to the Council and the Guardians that our methods were not appropriate for this particular sphere.
Our attitude thus was one of caution, observation, and continuing attempts to creatively discover methods whereby contact from our entities could be of service with the least distortion and above all with the least possibility of becoming perversions or antitheses of our intentions in sharing information.
Ra, 2.2 Wrote:We found that the technology was reserved largely for those with the effectual mind/body distortion of power. This was not intended by the Law of One. We left your peoples. The group that was to work with those in the area of South America, as you call that portion of your sphere, gave up not so easily. They returned. We did not.
So several Confederation entities in their attempts to aid this planet, found that the results went far from their intention. And they have to keep working with these unintentional results, until it is balanced:
Ra, 22.26 Wrote:We remind you that we are one of the naïve members of that Confederation and are still attempting to recoup the damage for which we feel responsibility. It is our duty as well as honor to continue with your peoples, therefore, until all traces of the distortions of our teach/learnings have been embraced by their opposite distortions, and balance achieved.
Ra, 23.16 Wrote:As in our experience the teachings were, for the most part, greatly and grossly perverted to the extent in later times of actual human sacrifice rather than healing of humans. Thus, this social memory complex is also given the honor/duty of remaining until those distortions are worked out of the distortion complexes of your peoples.
