Any objection if I bump this topic?
I was reading some of the older archives, in particular this one which struck me from L/Leema (http://www.llresearch.org/transcripts/is..._0602.aspx)
This quote from the discourse given struck me as extremely profound and seemed to be a useful way to approach the "paradox" talked about earlier in this thread - and I underlined the part that makes it clearer (at least to me.. ).
"Those of the positive polarity are of service when by action or thought or even intention, another entity or the self is freer to seek his or her own path than before the intended service was performed."
Suggests to me that service can be for the self and still have the effect of being service to others.
