VIII. SOME PRINCIPLES OF SERVICE

[ - ] shows commentary by Scott Mandelker

Glossary

D = density / dimension

E = energy center

R = ray / chakra / energy center

QUESTIONER: What is the greatest service that we on Earth can perform individually?

RA: There is but one service. The Law is One. The offering of self to Creator is the greatest service, the unity, the fountainhead. The entity that seeks the One Creator is with infinite intelligence. From this seeking or offering, a great multiplicity of opportunities [to serve] will evolve depending upon the individual, in regards to their own E center development of mind / body / spirit. Thus, some become healers, some workers, some teachers, and so forth. {v. I}

QUESTIONER: Is there a best way of serving others, or is any way as good as any other?

RA: 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 without hesitation. This involves radiating that which is the essence or the heart of the mind / body / spirit.

The best way for each seeker in 3D to be of service to others is unique to that particular seeker. You must then seek within yourself the intelligence of your own discernment, as to the way that you may best serve others. This will be different for each person. There is no best. There is no generalization. Nothing is known. {v. I}

Service on Earth at Harvest

QUESTIONER: How can we help people reach 4th density in these last days before Harvest?

RA: It is impossible to help another being directly. It is only possible to make catalyst available [to them] in whatever form, the most important being the radiation of realization of oneness with the Creator from the self. Sharing information such as we are sharing with you is less important.

We, ourselves, do not feel an urgency for this information to be widely disseminated. It is enough that we have made it available to three, four, or five. This is extremely ample reward, for if one of these obtains 4th density understanding due to this catalyst, then we shall have fulfilled the Law of One in the way of service.

That you attempt to make this information available is, in your terms, your service. The attempt, if it reaches one, reaches all.

We cannot offer shortcuts to enlightenment. Enlightenment is, of the moment, an opening to intelligent infinity. It can only be accomplished by the self, for the self. Another self cannot teach enlightenment, but only teach information, inspiration, or a sharing of love, of mystery, of the unknown that makes the other reach out and begin the seeking process that ends in a moment, but who can know when an entity will open the gate to the present? {v. I}

Starvation and Balanced Service

QUESTIONER: [Questions about how to help people who are starving.]

RA: Of course, for a person who is starving, the appropriate response [of balanced service and love] is to help feed their body. But, it is true that an exclusively green ray response [only love] is not as refined as service which has some degree of wisdom as well.

Such wisdom also enables a soul to appreciate its own [spiritual] contributions to the planetary consciousness by [simply] the quality of its being, without regard to any type of physical activity or behavior which is for the purpose of having results in a visible, material way. {v. II}

QUESTIONER: Is there any metaphysical reason for human starvation, or is it purely random?

RA: You are correct to assume that starvation and ill health is a form of catalytic action [used for soul-evolution]. However, it is within your free will to respond to their suffering, and to offer the necessary foods and materials is an appropriate response within the framework of 3D learning at this time, which is concerned with a growing sense of love for, and service to others. {v. II}

Adept Service to Others

QUESTIONER: It seems to me that the most important thing for souls on the path of service-to-others is the development of an attitude (through meditation, ritual, and basic appreciation for the Creator and creation) which increases a sense of Oneness with all. Is that correct?

RA: We shall not correct this, but we will also suggest that to those qualities you may add the living day by day and moment by moment, for the true adept lives more and more as it is. {v. III}
