Desire and Polarity

[native]

Thanks for sharing your insides. I've come to a lot of the same conclusions, and I've found that the resistance of the edge is related to service itself and being comfortable.

"If the entity is polarized towards service to others, analysis properly proceeds along the lines of consideration of which path offers the most opportunity for service to others.

For the negatively polarized entity the antithesis is the case.

For the unpolarized entity the considerations are random and most likely in the direction of the distortion towards comfort."

The world is quite hopeless, and it will never change in any significant way unless people change themselves, which isn't happening anytime soon. Ra even seems to have gone through that lesson, where they're now in a position to realize that illuminating three or four is an "extremely ample reward." So I think the biggest question we face is how to serve and in what capacity. I think if we set our intentions on service, the opportunities will come to us. It's the easiest way to serve, and the balancing work we've done up to this point is for the purpose of being reliable in such a situation. Then further balancing is related to whether or not a certain service is appropriate in relation to over-extending the self, or non-acceptance of limits.

Recently I was given an opportunity, and I found myself attempting to guide this person on how they should have done this or that, and this is what they need to do now etc. But what this person simply needs is help, not guidance. I resisted and also validated my thoughts because I wanted to remain comfortable. I think the important part to realize is that these feelings of wanting to be comfortable come from the idea that we're not getting anything out of the situation. The mind is telling itself "By moving outside of my comfort zone, this doesn't benefit me."..it's an expectation of return, a resistance towards giving. So I'm going to sacrifice my comfort and try a certain approach even if it may seem foolish, but that is the choice I've decided to make. I'll elaborate by saying that there is foolishness involved because certain things could complicate the situation, but I have faith that that won't happen. A lot of my justifications for not getting involved had to do with worrying about the future, but I realized the folly of the absence of will, and so I've chosen to serve in the present.

All acts of service can be viewed sacramentally, and in that light are great deeds because of their symbolic giving nature.
