How to be of service if circumstances don't allow it?

[RitaJC]

Hi, I've only just started reading the Ra material and I am nearly at the end of book one. My question is this - if someone desires to be of service to others but are in a situation where they cannot, how does this affect how they are perceived? For example, if someone has an illness and can't leave home, what could this person do to be of service? I also have another question - is service to animals the same as service to humans? Or is service to others specifically towards other humans?

Prayers, energy work, imagining lovingly are the first things that come to my mind as an answer.

And I don't believe what we perceive as animals is any different than any other expression of the One.

I believe the intention is what counts. Whenever we intend to serve just out of love, just because it's our nature, we are doing it already, no matter the particular expression at that moment.
