Service to other-self?

[Bring4th_Austin]

Serving in which direction exactly? Would it mean just being of service to bring happiness, love.
Or specifically serving in a way that leads to the Law of One?
I must clearify since it makes little sense to serve someone if there won't be any result out of it.
Most people aren't awake and therefore their actions/desires are personal or simply of no importance to the the Law of One. I hope I am being clear on this.
The ultimate servers to others oftenly help us as we have seen only if this brings actual results to awakening/seeking the one, which then results in desiring to serve as well.
We struggle mostly of our lives if by pain, financial, social. But we get no service from the "guides" because this is of no improtance.
I get that seeing the creator in each entity, not judging, being nice overall is good and all. But this is not service, if I were to serve people of now would only abuse that to their own benefit and gain nothing related to creation.
I wish to serve, but I cannnot.

I'd like to share a personal anecdote. I don't know if I completely understand the gist of your post, but I do believe it is related in some small way. Please forgive the length, but I feel like sharing.

This is one of the most poignant memories of my life experience. I was 18 years old and attending a community college. My life, from my perspective at the time, was basically falling apart. I had just gone through an extremely rough breakup with the first girl I loved. Due to unfortunate circumstances in high school, I was not qualified to attend university and was stuck attending community college while living at home with my parents. All of my friends had gone off to "real" colleges and I was left alone. I found it very difficult to meet anyone while in school, so I didn't make any new friends. I was slipping into depression, so my grades were starting to suffer to the point of no return. Living with my parents was stressful and we were constantly at odds with each other. I felt that I was completely isolated from the world and in a turbulent spiral downwards into complete insignificance. 

It's worth mentioning at this point that I was, what would be called from our perspective, "not awake." There was no spark of spiritual seeking and I believe I was generally driven by responding to catalyst rather than growing from it. Perhaps what you are referring to when you say "actions/desires are personal or simply of no importance to the the Law of One."

The dark cloud over my life seemed to grow to its thickest one day in class when I just decided to give up. I wouldn't say I had any real suicidal thoughts, but I remember a moment of utter defeat, and the last bit of hope that anything in my life might get better shrank to nothing. Never in my life had I felt more insignificant, more useless, more invisible.

I had a long walk across campus to my car after class and I was wearing this defeat on my sleeve, I'm sure. It was not a question in my mind that I had simply disappeared to the universe and my life was now this darkness. I was walking with my head down and, from the periphery of my vision, spotted a person walking towards me in the opposite direction. I moved to the side and completely expected them to walk by without any hint of notice, like most people do with all other people throughout all crowded areas of the world.

But I was stopped in my tracks when I heard a cheerful and upbeat call of "Hello!" I looked up at her and was struck when our eyes met. I didn't recognize her and I could tell that she didn't recognize me - at least, she didn't recognize me in the sense of knowing who I was, but it was clear that she did recognize that I was a person, another living human being, and she was simply acknowledging that. And through her eyes shined a welcoming embrace of me as a person. Without knowing anything about me, it seemed to me by that simple action that she was just accepting me, something which I firmly believed at the time I didn't deserve. She smiled wide at me and kept walking.

I was so shocked that she even saw me, let alone felt called to engage with me, I don't remember if I even responded. That one word, the short gaze, and the warm smile stuck with me through the entire day, and then for the following week, and beyond that. It has been one of my most consistently recalled memories for my life so far. I think about her often. I don't remember what she looked like or anything specific about her, but I remember vividly how such a short, simple act of kindness - that took essentially no effort on her part - managed to shake my belief that I was insignificant. It's a common theme of my contemplations to this day.

I doubt she felt she was "being of service," or that she would define her action as "seeing the Creator" in me. I am quite sure that whoever she is, she doesn't remember that greeting. She may have forgotten about it moments after it happened. But the impact it has had on my life is profound. I don't think I'm in any position to evaluate her spiritually, but I do feel that in order for her to simply be so open to greeting and smiling at someone random, she was on a positive spiritual path of love. I do not doubt the love and acceptance I felt in her eyes.

So don't discount the sort of effect you can have by simply "being nice." Defining our path as "service" may introduce some confusion and feelings of inadequacy. I think we must take a broad and general definition of service. As Ra said in the quote Minyataur posted, "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." I fully believe that is what she did for me. She shared love and opened herself to me without hesitation.

Perhaps she has smiled at thousands of random people in her lifetime and I am the only who remembers. Some maybe even took advantage of her openness and used the social situation to their advantage. But if I were to put value on the gift she gave me, I would say it is worth thousands of smiles and much more.

We can't expect to save anyone with our love. But if a simple hello and a smile can have such an incredible effect on me, it's hard for me to think that any service done in love is lost to insignificance in this crazy world.
