That quote, for me, means obviously only that every change (drastic change) can only come from within, and only the self can make that change happen in himself. That does not make change or "enlightment" a "service to self" act. Or, more importantly, it is exactly a service for everyone, as "if it reaches one, reaches all".Oldern, I do not know what you think I mean. I only know what I mean. By the way, my moniker is Tenet Nosce, not Tenec Noste.
Let me reoffer the first quote, as it would appear that you missed it:
Ra Wrote:This study is as difficult as the one which we have described to you, but there are those with the perseverance to pursue the study just as you desire to pursue the difficult path of seeking to know in order to serve. The distortion lies in the effect that those who seek to serve the self are seen by the Law of One as precisely the same as those who seek to serve others, for are all not one? To serve yourself and to serve others is a dual method of saying the same thing, if you can understand the essence of the Law of One.
Vis a vis:
Ra Wrote:You will recall that we went into some detail as to how those not oriented towards seeking service for others yet, nevertheless, found and could use the gateway to intelligent infinity. This is true at all densities in our octave. We cannot speak for those above us, as you would say, in the next quantum or octave of beingness. This is, however, true of this octave of density. The beings are harvested because they can see and enjoy the light/love of the appropriate density. Those who have found this light/love, love/light without benefit of a desire for service to others nevertheless, by the Law of Free Will, have the right to the use of that light/love for whatever purpose. Also, it may be inserted that there are systems of study which enable the seeker of separation to gain these gateways.
So, according to my understanding, meditation would be the point where STO and STS meet.
