Service-to-others
The positive polarity and path of the Choice: the constant attempt to share the love of the Creator and open the self to the other-self, always honoring free will.
What Ra means
Service-to-others is not a code of conduct but an orientation — an inward posture of willingness to radiate what is known of the Creator's love and to remain open to other-selves without reservation (). Ra is careful to say that no single method is prescribed: each mind/body/spirit complex must seek within itself to discover how it may best serve, and what that means differs for every entity ().
The path carries no spiritual entropy. Ra observes that service to others, unlike service to self, feeds back into the self — not as selfishness but as a harmonizing return, so that the distortions of those who walk this path are preserved and further refined rather than disintegrated (). In positive fourth density the service becomes the work itself: the social memory complex, having slowly and harmoniously integrated itself, goes forth to aid those of less positive orientation who seek its aid ().
Under the Law of One, both paths are equally available and generate equal power. The difference lies in their structure: service-to-others honors free will, which means its pull upon other-selves is gentle — it radiates rather than demands (). This is its character, not its weakness.
In Ra's words
On the inner quality of the path rather than its outward method:
The best way of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self. This involves self-knowledge and the ability to open the self to the other-self without hesitation. This involves, shall we say, radiating that which is the essence, or the heart, of the mind/body/spirit complex.
On why the path remains self-sustaining where service to self erodes:
The Law of One blinks neither at the light or the darkness but is available for service to others and service to self. However, service to others results in service to self, thus preserving and further harmonizing the distortions of those entities seeking intelligent infinity through these disciplines.
