The political correctness of Ra and the Confederation

[Plenum]

I think polarity is one of those things that is hard to grapple with; as we all tend to have 'idealised scenarios' of what positive service is (as a concrete example of service), and what a negative service would look like.  In truth, whenever two entities have an interaction, there is an infinite amount of shading and possibility that they bring to the table, which then leads to unpredictable outcomes.

In terms of the Ra Quote you offered, this passage came to mind for me:

1) Those who are upon the service-to-others (STO) path may call upon the light strength in direct proportion to the strength and purity of their will to serve.

2) Those upon the service-to-self (STS) path may call upon the dark strength in direct proportion to the strength and purity of their will to serve.

In terms of the specifics of the conundrum that you offered, though, I would probably reframe it as the notion of 'offering service'.  One can see the offering of service as either a positive greeting or a negative greeting.  That is the slanting of the service in itself.  But in terms of integrating that service into the individual entity's Overall Interpretation, it's an opportunity for the self to continue comprehending itself as the Creator; which is another way of saying that the Law of One is referencing the Law of "one beingness" or the Law of "one consciousness".

so-called negative service or negative greeting is an act of service towards a positive entity because they have to come to grips with what another portion of the One Consciousness has chosen to do.  So even though the STS entity is thinking they are serving themselves, in the framework of One Consciousness, it is offering the positive entity a further opportunity to integrate.  What the negative entity is doing can't be classified as 'positive service' as such, but in the context of unity, it's an act of service nonetheless.
