Are you talking about going to McDonald's and spending my money there to infuse it with love? Because I believe I can infuse love from a distance and spend my money elsewhere. Are you saying that an entity who works at McDonald's who may have been plundered may need comfort? Yes, but that doesn't mean continuing to plunder them by going to McDonald's. If you are not talking about the act of actually engaging in commerce at McDonald's, we are speaking of two different analogies and I missed your point entirely.
Once again you miss the entire point of my example.
It is not about McDonald's, it is about a single other-self being that calls upon you and which reaches you in it's call because you resonate with it. It tries to draw you to itself, and where it is in a freaking McDonald's. A single piece of meat that came from an animal to which you could provide a much greater service toward than what little money you give to McDonald's in the process would do. It is not even about eating yourself, just that by being open to any manner of service would allow you to serve in new ways by trusting your unconscious and being guided with it. You said you would go out in the rain if asked to, but there seems to be many things you would feel unwilling to do even if you felt that it is the "right" or "good" choice based upon your unconscious awareness and feelings. Of course, if you'd be unable in any way to feel love while doing so, then you will never be called to serve in this way.
Transformation of the mind is about letting go of things, you said so yourself.
Okay... so I'm not using the Transformation of the Mind because I refuse to go eat a burger at McDonald's? Is that your logical conclusion with this analogy?
No in this context you would not make use of the Transformation of the Mind because you are not willing to open yourself to your High Priestess beyond going out dancing in the rain (upon which example you said you are not there to discuss what you are told).
From the quotes of Love I have shared, you would rather dwell upon "human" services than open yourself to serve in new ways which you are not yet consonant with.

It's about learning how to use the resources of our subconscious so that our intuition doesn't tell us the wrong thing, like somehow warp, justify, and convolute eating a burger at McDonald's as an action of compassionate service-to-others. My logic, intuition, and experience informs me that I have much better ways to deal with the call of service I feel towards that entity - i.e. to stop eating it and not to continue participating in a system that tortures it. Again, it's not about blindly following, but slowly getting to know and understand what your High priestess (and others) want/feel. If my High Priestess is telling me to do something that I feel infringes upon the free will of another, I have a choice to not do that. The archetypes are about mind/body integration, not just dominance of the mind over matter.
In this case you already do not partake in this system, but that system still is happening. In my example I gave said that this would only happen once, so you would not really contribute to the system, unless you truly believe a few dollars would actually make fluctuate something in it. You could be called to offer your love once for a single being that requires it, needs what only you would be able to provide it with, that calls upon you while you do hear it.
Consciously you can't rationalize why it can be good, but your High Priestess can very well know that your small contribution will not encourage the already happening plundering nor create fluctuation within it. That you would be draw toward entangling with something that calls to you, requires your help, your love because it needs it. And at this point, within these circumstances, the only thing that could prevent you from actually providing this service is you inability to love something that is.

Some people stop using palm oil because it destroys the rainforest. Many people choose to eat relatively humanely raised meat instead of mass produced antibiotic filled junk. That's why I specifically used the example of McDonald's, because you would be very hard pressed to find anything they do in the production of food as being on the spectrum of ethical. But shoot, it's hardly even real meat, so if you felt called to serve a McDonald's burger patty, you're likely being called to the soybean filler. (which is just as poorly treated!)
It's not about meat in my case either. Just that your inability to go into a McDonald's only one single time in your life and eat meat only on that very occasion, can very well also prevent you from offering a service of a positive nature that time. It is really not understandable to you in any way, that the meat of a single animal that has been killed and experienced trauma, could call upon you to receive the kind of love that you can have to offer to it? Given of course, that you would actually be able to feel love for this form of the Creator once it is in front of you.
I don't dismiss what you said either. There's many many many many many choices about many many many many things. But letting go means letting go of the way it satisfies yourself to serve, because that can allow a greater Love to be known to you and move through you. This is true for both you and me, I don't see myself as above it and I think this journey across love is a very long one with infinite steps through many-ness.
