It's all well and good to consciously live with the realization that we are all mirrors to each other and that the Creator experiences itself in every way imaginable but that does nothing for the other self who is unaware of such a truth.
Also there may not be rules but there are certainly guidelines. With such guidelines and responsibilities bestowed upon wanderers, it can lead to misplaced priorities and ideals based upon something one may not be. Sure you can end everything with all is one blah blah but that does nothing on the ground where this illusion is the only thing that other selves realize exists. Your point of view is only considering the work upon oneself which I'm sure you're gonna say is also work upon the other self and that's great. It just doesn't take into account the ignorance to this truth of those who are still asleep
I meant it more in a sense that we all are working on different things. That one's work is not another's work.
There are no responsabilities other than self-imposed ones. There is no need for someone to be of service to others, there simply are those who incarnate this desire just as there are those who incarnate other desires.
IMO, no one is ever truly asleep, everyone is the One exploring a certain path of experiences under the First Distortion. Everyone is you doing different kind of work.
Trust me, I get and agree with what you're saying but you're coming from the macrocosmic level of looking upon creation. All of what you've said is true except in the eyes of those who have yet to find this truth. This is where I believe my work lies for others and upon myself. Because I realize that work upon an other self is also work upon myself but I don't consider that when the urge to help appears. Consciously deciding to work upon the self is indeed a service to the Creator but work upon the self can only take you so far. Once one starts to also see through the eyes of an other self who has yet to realize these truths, you start to bring your perspective back down to the ground and the microcosmic level of our other selves. This is where service to others lies.
Well I do have myself a STO inclination that is becoming more and more apparent to myself, althought the impact it has on me would be rather hard to explain.
I meant it more that you cannot expect others to follow your current path as they all do have one of their own. Evolution takes many hundreds billions of years from what Ra said, that's just how much work each of us has to do and does point out that everyone here can be at various stages of their own working. Us being many-ness means there are infinite ways of beingness as the One learning of Himself.
I would say STO is a kind of work upon self but that those who currently need to work on themselves in a STS manner can't so much do it any other way as they are now. So if you end up exhausting yourself on someone you cannot change his understanding, that is part of his role as a mirror to you and it is a mutual service.
