Also, we're in third density now, and the "impulse to protect the loved other-self is one which persists through the fourth density, a density abounding in compassion."
Yes, I agree with this. But what is one to do about the animal kingdom and the suffering we humans are causing? If I extrapolate, then the message seems to be to do something to alleviate the suffering.
Exactly. The positive path is called Service to Others. Why do most of the people here on this forum seem to leave out our younger other-selves? I don't understand it.

They have free will to inflict pain and suffering onto humans too, and yet no one suggests that it's ok for STO-oriented people to support that. Yet they argue vehemently that they have the 'right' to contribute to the suffering of our younger other-selves.
This makes no sense. The STO path is one of service and compassion. Why are the majority of people here at B4 arguing against service and compassion, in favor of dominance, conquest, and violating free will?
That is the essence of killing a sentient being: Dominate them, conquer them, violate their free will to live, destroy them. How is that not STS? All to satisfy a taste...a preference...Is this not the very definition of Service to Self?

It's rather popular to imply that those with compassion aren't very evolved...only 4D Wanderers instead of higher. This totally misses the point about the density of Choice and the STO path. I think it's a myth that the densities above 4D don't have compassion. Of course they do! They just temper it with wisdom.
