First of all, I think the desire of wanting to "make it to 4D positive" in and of itself is absolutely valid, there's absolutely nothing inappropriate about it. e.g. Carla used to sing "When The Saints Go Marching In". What Rita described was one way of "doing it wrong", that is, to set up a rigid objective and check that objective every time you act. That's indeed a tedious way to live. A simple version of "doing it right" would be "I serve because it feels right."
Also as an irrelevant point I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with service to the self. Caring for the body is service to the self, knowing, balancing, loving the self is service to the self. I am a miniature Creator how can I not serve the self. The term STS in the Ra Material context has very specific meanings, "I serve my self to the exclusion of all other selves, they get 5% but that's it". What STO achieves in the absolute sense is that you serve yourself, except you're doing it right this time.
/are we to serve endlessly?
Like serve, serve, and serve more?/
The term service in our society seems to include the notion of producing some product and let others enjoy that product or fruit/labor. I have another interpretation to add. Each individual/entity was created differently, therefor creating some kind of potential between everyone. Simply by opening to each other and being oneself, that potential will be allowed to flow freely. So service can be exchanged through simple honest plain interaction between entities. I think that's what the Creator intended in the first place. It's the "objective oriented" way of living the life in our society that is making things complicated, creating barriers and conditions. "The fidelity of Ra towards the attempt to remove distortions is total."80.5
/I help my mom out, and try to make her happy, but it seems I can't make her happy most of the time.
Does this mean I have failed in serving her?/
Hypothetically if she wants to sleep(spiritually), then anything else would not be to her satisfaction. The only way to make her happy would be to make her sleep more comfortable. I'm totally speaking to my own head here. I don't really know.
/And when she's moved away, does this mean I will have nobody to serve? Because nobody lives with me./
I think this is a important point. It's very relevant to me. I think the key here is to multiply the avenue of opportunities here, that is, to get in touch with more people and to interact on a moment to moment, day to day basis. Internet forums are great but they are not comprehensive. Nothing like face to face interaction. It's where the magic is. I'm kind of talking to myself here, hope you don't mind hehe.
