Ali,
Yes those that are here for purely aiding others is very, very few. Most are here because we have issues that still need to be addressed in 3D as well. Sometimes it's not so much that we didn't learn the lessons of 3D or because there was something that we did directly that needs correcting but rather something that we may have started needs to be put straight as there have been distortions altering the original thought.
Ra is a good example of how the best of intentions can go awry. There many more examples including the majority of the religions of the world including Christianity. Distortions have been introduced in most "good" works that have caused them to go off track and sometimes one has the urge to try to make right what has definitely gone wrong.
DreamingPeace raises many good points among which is the admonishment that we must learn to love ourselves for without loving and forgiving ourselves we have no hope of really loving and forgiving others. As long as we haven't "worked through our issues" then each time we try to extend love and forgiveness to others there will always be a reminder of a weakness in our own selves. Once you unselfishly accept and love you, then being able to reach our and project into other selves is possible without distortion.
We are all travelers upon a journey. To start the journey one must become cognizant that a journey needs to be taken. Once you become aware there is a journey that needs to be undertaken then comes the question how do I prepare and how do I start. The ironic thing is we start from the moment we realize that the journey exists and it isn't until we are well on the first leg of the journey that we grasp the knowledge that we started while still trying to find out how to go about taking the journey. Each of us begins the process in a similar manner but from that point onward each journey is as unique as the grains of sand on a beach.
The aid and comfort that we get along the road is from those we encounter there and the markers and signposts left by those that traveled that way before us.
