This is why the blending of both paths could be viewed as a service to All whereas each path on their own are both nothing more than service to self. One of them is simply more self-righteous in regard to other-selves.
"Nothing more than service to self"...? That seems like an unnecessarily reductive (and/or dismissive) way of looking at this. Service to self is service to One. Service to others is service to One. Both are the Creator, doing service to the Creator. They are already both in service to all, by definition, because all is One.
Or looked at another way, both paths are equally false, because the dualistic concept of Other and Self is itself a distortion of fundamental One-ness.
We are the Creator, serving the Creator. Positives do it in one fashion, negatives do it in another. Neither is better or worse, heroic or villainous, desirable or undesirable, except in so far as each individual sub-portion of the Creator decides to arbitrarily embrace those distortions for itself. ALL services are services to the Creator, and everything else is just the games we play while doing those services.
