Why if the choice is Love does Ra say the choice is service?

[Minyatur]

The material does say the concept of service actually is meaningful because of our tendency as mind/body/spirit complexes to view things in a certain way.

I am Ra. It is unlikely that there is a more pithy or eloquent description of the polarities of third density than “service to others” and “service to self” due to the nature of the mind/body/spirit complex’s distortions towards perceiving concepts relating to philosophy in terms of ethics or activity. However, we might consider the polarities using slightly variant terms. In this way a possible enrichment of insight might be achieved for some.

One might consider the polarities with the literal nature enjoyed by the physical polarity of the magnet. The negative and positive, with their electrical characteristics, may be seen to be just as in the physical sense.
It is to be noted in this context that it is quite impossible to judge the polarity of an act or an entity, just as it is impossible to judge the relative goodness of the negative and positive poles of the magnet.

Another method of viewing polarities might involve the concept of radiation/absorption. That which is positive is radiant; that which is negative is absorbent.

To me polarity is much more of a state of being. But I believe within the paradox of manyness there is a concept where we have to work with others to polarize and advance within the Octave.  This is where the notion of service comes from. For example, if everyone is learn/teacher and teach/learner, then learning and teaching are basic services in the self realizing the Creator.

What we call unconditional love, which is like the total acceptance of something, is in fact a portion of the spectrum of love. Love itself is actually expressed throughout all the densities and this portion of love relates to 4D. Positive entities experience total acceptance of all things without boundaries, while negative entities experience total acceptance of themselves as mind/body/spirit complexes with a boundary. Service is somewhat always for the self and for others at the same time, as there is only One. This duality being a paradox in which the same love is expressed and which is eventually reconciled. Like the material says, there is no polarity, there is only unity. We chose in our free will to experience an alternative to understanding the completef unity of thought which binds all things.
