Clarity on STO please

[Plenum]

I question whether Ra means healing suffering (Reiki or any other modality) as a true path to graduation because graduation involves so much more than reducing someone else’s pain.  Ra’s STO path involves helping or inspiring in someone else to “open to intelligent infinity”(17.2)  Reducing someone else’s material suffering on a grand scale or tiny scale is not the experience of Enlightenment that Ra describes that leads to graduation. Am I right?

You can also look at some of the examples that they themselves gave of 'positive' individuals.  Then if you abide by their notions of positivity, you can 'extract' and extrapolate from that, what it means to be of service.

We have:

* Albert Schweitzer
* Abraham Lincoln (post 1853, after the walk-in)
* General Patton
* Nikola Tesla
* Saint Augustine, Saint Theresa, Saint Francis
* FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt (she looks amazingly *present* in all her photos)
* philosophers and scientists who paved the way for the Industrial Revolution
* Albert Einstein
* Eisenhower
* Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin
* Heraclitus, Pericles

you can see they run the gamut of endeavours.  Is being a scientist or engineer being of service?  It is, if it means expanding the scope of the planetary mind, and easing the difficulties of (harsh) physical experience.

Is being a politician or president just being a patsy of the elite and the Illuminati?  Well, Ra didn't speak of immediate times, but in the past, some highly positive individuals have been involved in America's leadership.

Is being a general and involved in war automatically negative?  Patton had frequent green-ray openings (according to Ra), and felt a need to defend truth and beauty.

And - of course - many of the figures above are male, because history has been biased in recording the acts of men.  There are no doubt an equal number of positive female entities (and every entity has had lives both as male and female), and fame is no hallmark of positive work.

And so there are many ways to serve - as many as the talents and gifts that we bring into this incarnation.
