thats a very sharp and clear way of putting it.

I don't think that's a lesson required for us to learn in 3rd density.
then, maybe it is one of the lessons of 3rd density ? the density which requires opening up the 3rd chakra (yellow - 'there are others than me, how do i behave to them') to the full ?
holding back yellow from any entity that is considered 'not of the herd' would constitute holding back that chakra.
I've meditated on this a bit. I cannot reconcile the evolutionary behavior with unconditional love, green ray.
But you make an interesting point about yellow ray, realizing self separate from others, and how to treat those others. Unconditional/universal love is of green ray, so wouldn't conditional loving be more considered a blockage of the green ray? Rather, holding back yellow from others could be seen manifesting as completely ignoring needs of others with no consideration given.
Taking Monica's example (I hope you don't mind Monica ), while doing her job she realized other-selves were being "controlled" in a sense. If she had a yellow-ray blockage, I would assume she wouldn't even consider this a problem because what she was doing was procuring resources for her tribe, and she would ignore the side-effect. Having opened yellow, she realized the problem and attempted to free the entities from control. From here she went to green-ray, and met her blockage, reverting to protection of her tribe over universal love.
She offered her yellow-ray, in acknowledging the other-selves' struggle and attempting to rectify it.
Now, as I understand it, our density requires us to open yellow, but not necessarily prefect green. Acknowledging other-selves as deserving of love (STO) or acknowledging self as deserving of love through manipulation of others (STS) could open yellow. Acknowledging other-selves as deserving unconditional love, and living this acknowledgment, would open up green completely. I have a feeling it is a lesson we start to learn in this density, and will have to perfect in the next.
I'm in agreement with you about the Law of Responsibility. No doubt all of us are doing things in this very incarnation that we'll have to rectify sooner or later. But I'm okay with that. To take an example from another thread, Thomas Jefferson had slaves, but fought for abolition. There is still karma involved in his slave-owning acts, despite his fight for abolition. As an occasional meat-eater, I accept the idea that I am responsible for the deaths of other-selves to sustain me. I know that my immense love and appreciation along with my actions taken to ensure the suffering of these other-selves ends, will not completely rectify my actions of eating meat, and I suspect I will spend some time in other lives balancing these acts.
