Are Human Beings On Earth Free?

[native]

While those of us speaking on this forum have many freedoms, and free will choices in our daily lives, that is not true for a woman under Taliban rule, or a person who has been tricked into sexual slavery, or a child labor in in the fields for cotton. And those other- selves are us.  If we can't see that, than we have missed the point of the LOO.

While the compassionate side of me feels the suffering of this planet, the universe is infinite.

Ra seems to emphasize quality over quantity regarding service. To me that means harmony within our personal interactions, appreciating our own desires, and opening up to others "without hesitation"..so helping others when they seem to be asking for it. That way service is an easy thing within our reach, without trying to fix a complex system of distortions. I think that by dealing with the catalyst drawn to us directly appropriately, it works with energies on a greater level..the pyramidal idea that denser energies (unity/wholeness) control the finer.

All I know is that I get tired of worrying about all the world's problems, and am not going to beat myself up over all of it. One need not feel responsible for everything. By all means people should help in the way they feel called to, but I tend to think we overdo it. There is this thread in human experience that says we're somehow not deserving of certain things or should feel bad about our quality of life. We should learn to value ourselves with full awareness I think.

What does it mean to serve others? We all like to laugh for instance, so thank god for comedians. A comedian's service is to tell jokes.
