Awakening vs walking the path

[Night Owl]

Thanks for your reply Night Owl.    My question isn't about polarity.  I'm clear about how we chose STO or STS in 3rd and hone our service through the remaining dimensions... with the caveat that those who have chosen STS will need to flip to STO somewhere in 6th.  No, the question I'm working on in my contemplations is perhaps better stated as, "Once you've awakened and become aware that your true essence is non-dual, that all there is is the unitary Reality/Truth/Source of which everything and everyone that's manifested is an expression, does work within the illusion of duality cease or continue?"

I was mostly adding to jade's previous comment about the misconception of service regarding duality. But yes, duality ''is'' no matter what is your perception. Duality is like a transcending concept, a law of physic, it just is. The point is to have your own perception become united, you can't overcome duality itself, or leave it, it's part of the universe. The only thing you can do is not being divided in your perspective. That in turn changes how you experience life and duality.

To answer your question directly, I'd say not only does the work continue, but in a certain way, it is merely begining. Although that's more like an analogy as beginings and ends still are dualistic concepts. In fact, it is more simply ever going. Unity is neither the begining neither the end, it just is all of the times. It is both the begining and the end.
