Quote:17.31 Questioner: I don’t wish to take up extra time asking questions over again. Some areas I consider important enough in relation to the Law of One to ask questions in a different way in order to get another perspective in the answer.
In the book Oahspe it states that if an entity goes over fifty one percent service to others and is less than fifty percent service to self, then that entity is harvestable. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct if the harvesting is to be for the positive fourth dimensional level.
However, I don't understand how this gets "judged" by oneself at the time of graduation. For instance, let's use Hitler as the example. If he were to live his life 99% in service to self, but has a genuine epiphany that causes himself to live the last 1% of his life in service to others, is he harvestable in 4th density positive because of where his heart evolved to when he died?
Or, would he tally his cumulative experiences at the time of death to realize that he was well under 51% in service to others and therefore must repeat 3rd density? Even though his epiphany has caused him to be wholeheartedly in service to others at the time of death, does he have to repeat third density again because of his lifelong experience of being in service to self?
Thanks!

I really enjoyed reading the discussion on this topic and I couldn't help throwing in my two cents.
I don't think that the 51% refers to a count of service to others versus service to self deeds over time. Rather, I believe that the 51% means that you are willing to sacrifice yourself for the good of another. That extra 1% says that when you believe it's the right thing to do, you will serve another even at your own expense.
In your example, I do believe than in a fine moment of inspiration someone like Hitler could become harvestable even after a history of service to self. The components would be a realization that other people are just as important as the self and a willingness for self sacrifice. Then, an opportunity to carry out that willingness. This last deed of self sacrifice would demonstrate 51% service to others.
Anyway, that's my take on it. It's a qualitative thing, not a quantitative one.
Thanks!
