I would disagree with the 'rather than' part. Ra didn't say acceptance of self at the exclusion of acceptance of other-selves; Ra just said that acceptance of self was the first acceptance. First doesn't necessarily indicate 'more' importance; it might only indicate the proper sequence.

Feeding the hungary, offering shelter for the homeless etc. is not a violation of free will if you offer and they accept. It would be a violation if you locked them in a home against their will, or force fed them.
Think of it from their perspective; if you were starving and someone appeared and offered you food, would you not thank them? And if you had a spiritual belief, thank the universe?
Do you thank the universe when something helpful manifests in your own life? (One would hope so.) We understand that it's all part of a bigger plan. Regardless, that person(s) who offered a helpful action, although you see it as divine, was acting with free will.
Reverse the roles, with yourself as the giver, and it's no different :¬)
When you act out of love, and you open your heart, you are the divine will. You're a chord, an instrument, in the harmonic dance of love; service to others. Isn't it beautiful? :¬)
Yes, very beautiful! And beautifully said!
