Quote:15.7 Questioner: What is the greatest service that our population on this planet could perform individually?

Ra: I am Ra. There is but one service. The Law is One. The offering of self to Creator is the greatest service, the unity, the fountainhead. The entity who seeks the One Creator is with infinite intelligence. From this seeking, from this offering, a great multiplicity of opportunities will evolve depending upon the mind/body/spirit complexes’ distortions with regard to the various illusory aspects or energy centers of the various complexes of your illusion.

How we see Creator, is that what we should seek? Can we seek All?

How exactly does one offer themselves to the Creator?

Yeah, and what about when that gets boring?

If it's impossible not to serve then what's the point in offering the self to the Creator? Maybe it has something to do with showing that you're willing - despite having no say in the matter?

I took a nap after posting that question (my 1st post in this thread) & then I dreamed that I was staring at my post for an usually long amount of time. After waking I felt inspired to meditate on my question. How exactly does one offer themselves to the Creator? & the answer that came to me is: With words. (Not necessary out loud nor written. & as often as feels right.) EG: I offer myself to You the OIC.

I agree that there's really no way to get around offering yourself to creator, since it's impossible to not serve the Creator, but I think that maybe one may transform themselves into a better kind of offering to the Creator if one is consistently/literally offering themselves - even though this particular kind of service isn't necessary.

I'm thinking that maybe it's considered "the greatest service" bc it isn't necessary?

& I'm thinking that by doing this (serving by literally offering the self) it could maybe serve as a balancing mechanism in order to allow the Creator to, perhaps more easily, pluck harmony from our instrument/body.

Maybe some offerings are better than others? Maybe the one that has spent their lives offering themselves becomes like food left at a temple rather than a flower? A flower would surely please the monks but not as much as food I don't think. (I'm assuming monks eat the food offerings...idk that.)

My distortion is, to enjoy, love and reflect on each experience. I believe we are created to have fun, enjoy, love,and grow. I believe when you make a conscience decision to serve the creator,its the intention behind it, rather then the actual experience. You are the creator, Its almost like further harmonizing with the most true self. The Creator, and your trues selfs will/desire. Or love.

I.E. this Earth which is lending bodies to all lifeforms of sub-Creators, letting them shape it's surface. The path toward this unconditional offering of self is the fufilling of desires until there remain only the desires of other-selves.

I'm not so sure anything will ever be fully unconditional though, except infinity itself as a whole. A planet is not the rest of the Universe and probably attracts a certain type of soul for it's personal destiny to unfold.

So maybe the greatest service is unachievable in itself and simply is it's own never ending progression. Well that's how I view it, each end of the road perceived is another illusion within Infinity.

Quote:54.16 Questioner: Let me make an analogy that I have just thought of. A seven-stringed musical instrument may be played by deflecting each string [a] full deflection and releasing it and getting a note. Or, once the strings are capable of being deflected through their full deflection (producing a note), instead of producing the notes this way taking the individual creative personality and deflecting each the proper amount in proper sequence to produce the music. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. In the balanced individual the energies lie waiting for the hand of the Creator to pluck harmony.
