Thank you for your well considered reply. With regard to my examples of presumed service, I originally said orange ray - but then second-guessed myself and changed it to yellow, but my point is about a level of awareness of self that is required to generate an act of service to others.
I agree with the position that consciousness of the Law of One is not necessary until the fifth density, but I don't agree with the interpretation of this quote that you paraphrase from 19:16
The majority of third-density beings is far along the chosen path before realization of that path is conscious.
For me the word realization here is like the actual work that one does in order to make a goal become real. So the "parktdlog duty" of the Gurdjieff Work could be equated with the conscious act of service that leads one to the path of their choosing, and even "well along it" before the being begins to direct this ascent towards the higher cause of the fourth ray and above in an intentional and organized manner.
I believe the answer to this query can be found in very subtle word choices such as in this quote from 13:23:
Notice that the failure is not exactly of "pointing the needle" one way or another it is in the beings inability to become even able to take a hold of it. Also, I have to add that this failure is reported by Ra to be due to very similar unfortunate and highly complex conditions that we ourselves have established here on this planet.
Thanks again. Inspiring words

However, the thought-forms of your people during this transition period are such that the mind/body/spirit complexes of both individual and societies are scattered throughout the spectrum instead of becoming able to grasp the needle, shall we say, and point the compass in one direction.
