Service to others involves helping as much as you can, when asked to help.
It can also include requesting that service be accepted, or offering to be of service when one has not been asked, and then honoring the answer received.
Setting up a situation of teaching that is not requested, and not welcomed, can be an intrusion into another's free will. To try to force someone into a role of student, when they do not wish to recognize your role as teacher, can be a kind of strong-arm tactic.
In the example of seeing another drawing sacred geometry, it might be worthwhile to ask things like "Did you see that design from somewhere else? I've found myself drawing some designs like that, can I show you my drawings? Did you know that this is an ancient mystical symbol?" And then, wait and see whether the other person picks up the thread. If not, you don't need to throw it at them again and again.
I realize it can be nearly unbearable frustration to see people hurt themselves and others with their apparently ignorant, stupid, misplaced choices. However, if free will means anything, it includes our respecting their own right to cling to their own dumb, ignorant ideas as long as they wish.
The light doesn't have to go attack the darkness, all it has to do is shine.
my last post in this thread http://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthrea...2#pid10872 is relevant to this thread as well (actually probably should have posted it in this one instead) Anyway, it is almost 12 now, I must go as a new day is beginning
