The discussion was seeking refinement of that observation, in part, by noting what you said, that the game changes radically in mid-6D.
The general disposition of serving others certainly does continue (not taking into consideration the minor little detail that there are no longer any other-selves to serve, since they are all ONE by that time).
It could just as easily be postulated that the STS path continues also, in the sense that all is ONE, so if an entity is serving All, it is serving Self as well. (And, conversely, if an entity serves other-selves, it is serving Self as well.)
What is discontinued isn't the serving of Self.
What is discontinued is the serving of Self at the exclusion of serving other-selves.
Whereas, STO's have a higher % of serving Self than the STS's have of serving other-selves.
It seems that both are true but differ in degree.
And yet none are true, in the sense that, once they are all ONE and there is no longer a differentiation between Self and Other-Self, it all becomes moot.
