Doing "work," STO, STS

[Bring4th_Austin]

I basically agree, given Patrick's addendum. I think it's an important point that 3rd density, being the density of social interaction, is heavily based on social interaction, and so most polarization will take place through this means. A truly adept Service to Self individual would know exactly how to use and manipulate "all which are in relationship to it," similarly to how a Service to Others adept would "love all which are in relationship to it."

Also, I wouldn't classify work as "catalyst accepted" for both polarizations, as Ra describes: "Control is the key to negatively polarized use of catalyst. Acceptance is the key to positively polarized use of catalyst." But if you substitute "acceptance" and instead say "use of catalyst towards a certain desire," then I think that works.

I also think that, from that point, "work" can be broken down based on what stage of development an individual is in. If one carries many imbalances and biases (within their chakras), work could likely refer to something like the balancing exercises that Ra gives. Typically a person with significant imbalances will be experiencing intensive and continuous catalyst. Work could also be a general striving to "understand the self," a la the teachings Ra gives in 5.2 (in 5.2, this information is given as steps to begin learning to heal, but in 15.14, Ra says these exercises can be used in a more general sense).

I suppose the word "work" could also be substituted for "learning/teaching." I think this passage is a good example of work which is learning/teaching:

42.2
The exercise of first experiencing feelings and then consciously discovering their antitheses within the being has as its objective not the smooth flow of feelings both positive and negative while remaining unswayed but rather the objective of becoming unswayed. This is a simpler result and takes much practice, shall we say.

The catalyst of experience works in order for the learn/teachings of this density to occur. However, if there is seen in the being a response, even if it is simply observed, the entity is still using the catalyst for learn/teaching. The end result is that the catalyst is no longer needed. Thus this density is no longer needed. This is not indifference or objectivity but a finely tuned compassion and love which sees all things as love. This seeing elicits no response due to catalytic reactions. Thus the entity is now able to become co-Creator of experiential occurrences. This is the truer balance.

Doing any of this kind of work, for a positive individual, would ultimately be as you pointed out: moving towards "the desire of universal acceptance of all." That is the ultimate goal, met with smaller goals such as balancing a current imbalance, or accepting a current catalyst.
