Isis: Then why bother ever serving others? Why did Ra even mention service to others? There's no point in ever doing anything. Just be apathetic...it doesn't matter anyway. There is no right or wrong...Choice means nothing. Anything goes. Go ahead and rape, kill, whatever...who cares? It's all good.
I don't disagree with any of that. Radiating outwardly can manifest in different ways, depending on the nature of the individual. The monk quietly meditating on a mountaintop and the civil rights activist who facilitates massive changes in society are both serving others and radiating outwardly, just in different ways.

Let me expand a bit more on what I was trying to say. I'm interested in what causes transformation. To me transformation seems to operate in opposite fashion of how we approach reality..which is that what is wrong must be corrected..the battle. How can something new be created, something more refined and whole be called into existence, by repetition of a pattern? I don't think anything positive is created through force.
"Love/light is the enabler, the power, the energy giver."
"Enlightenment is of the moment, is an opening to intelligent infinity. It can only be accomplished by the self, for the self. Another self cannot teach/learn enlightenment, but only teach/learn information, inspiration, or a sharing of love, of mystery, of the unknown that makes the other-self 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?"
The question is how does one teach inspiration? What is inspiration exactly and how does it truly work on the magical level? To use an analogy, we are always holding onto a rope and pulling on both ends with each other..we're always resisting and the moment becomes moot..entropy..wasted energy. To radiate, to let go, to accept, to find relevant insight, to release control, to find love seems to act as the energy giver. I think when we do that, when we allow others (the infinite) to move and express themselves/itself rather than pull and create non-movement, we embody more of what is, the opposite energies mate and unify, creating spiritual wholeness that inspires and allows for new thoughts/possibility to resonate within the mind of the other individual on a metaphysical level. By radiating outwardly, it's as if you're sending out a light that offers a pathway for the other to find their way back home.
But those last two sentences kind of see the other as an object that requires changing or pulling something up to our level. So I think the task is to learn how to see ourselves or feel love for another, walking step by step alongside each other in the moment.
