One basic consequence of the Law of One is recognizing that there is a hierarchy of sorts.
I can certainly see how this would be true for those who choose to adopt this 'consequence'.
Personally, I feel that the second I believe I'm more <insert your noun here> than anyone else, my ego has taken over and I'm on a slippery spiritual slope.

For that matter, one of the main purposes of the Wanderer system is specifically so higher-density entities can try to help others in their spiritual growth. It's another form of Service-to-Others, and plenty of people here believe they are Wanderers.
Good point. Thank you for reminding me of the philosophical realm I'm dwelling in at the moment. That's not saying I agree with you; rather, I'm acknowledging that is your belief (and likely many others) who frequent this corner of the cyber-world.
I have to confess that I tend to stay at the 100,000 foot level of all of this so anything beyond "Love" and "Law of One" doesn't resonate with me.

Learning comes from introspection for most individuals, IMHO. I do understand there are those who will simply adopt the beliefs of others for whatever reason. For me introspection is the only way I learn anything that is retained at the soul level.

It's just a matter of discovering those areas so one can learn how/when they can be of greater assistance to others. If no one considers themselves wise enough to teach, how can anyone do any learning?
My understanding of our purpose here is learning Love; not wisdom. If I remember right, according to Ra, wisdom is the 5th density. If we are to serve others from a standpoint of Love, perhaps understanding how best to express that within our currently limited capacity makes a lot of sense.

By recognizing that it isn't necessary to create in-your-face catalyst to inspire introspection and spiritual growth.

There are more options on the table than "direct confrontation" vs "total non-interference." The latter is suggested by some philosophical systems like Daoism, but those aren't the only two choices available.
Which is why it's good to ask the question, and thus discover NEW possibilities.
Very true. My apology for posting my response in a way to insinuate that.
