In my opinion the most important thing is to express who you authentically are. You (to no one in particular) are an individual and no other entity is exactly like you. If you do not express "you" then it will not be expressed by another.
To serve others INCLUDES serving self—there is no separation. If you serve others to the exclusion of yourself, it is martyrdom; and while there is nothing wrong with that, it is out of balance. It is out of balance in a way similar—though diametrically opposed— to just serving the self.
To put the emphasis on harvest for self or making the polarity cut is to be beside the point in my opinion. The point is to fully open to and be your authentic self, accept your self, and create and follow your authentic path. Not the self or path influenced by society or any external belief systems. You may line up with external belief systems, but in my opinion the alignment should happen naturally as like attracts like.
As an artist, you have an advantage over people who have not developed the right brain or the intuitive and creative channels. I agree with others here that love is important. But most people don't create art out of fear or hate, although for some the expression of buried trauma or confusions is important. It really doesn't help in my opinion to suppress the stuff we don't think is "positive," rather, in order to transform the imbalances into balance they must come out into the light and out of the hidden and suppressed shadows. What I'm getting at is, follow your prompts, whatever they are. As you evolve as a being, your art will evolve. This is authenticity.
Lastly, the joy you feel when creating is a gift to the world.
Quote:Ra: I am Ra. . . . Speaking to the intention of your question, the best way for each seeker in third density to be of service to others is unique to that mind/body/spirit complex. This means that the mind/body/spirit complex must then seek within itself the intelligence of its own discernment as to the way it may best serve other-selves. This will be different for each. There is no best. There is no generalization. Nothing is known.
