You logic is backwards. Or maybe you just got the polarities mixed up.
Service to others must eventually also include service to self, because one cannot serve others without serving the self. <<==is a true statement.
But
Service to self must eventually also include service to others, because one cannot serve others without serving the self. <<== The first part of your statement is false, plus it doesn't match the 2nd part of your statement.
Here's why:
Service to self must eventually also include service to others, <<== is NOT true. It is entirely possible to serve self without serving others, and in fact that is the very definition of the STS path! This is a viable path, up until mid-6D.
The 2nd part of your statement:
because one cannot serve others without serving the self. <<== applies to the STO path, NOT the STS path!
Service to self doesn't need to include anything else. That's the whole point! It is the path of separation. Whereas, service to others also includes service to self, because it is the path of Oneness, wholeness.
