Our definitions of polarity per the Law of One material

[Shin'Ar]

Now here is the perfect example of what I have been trying to underline.

for the most part I agree with your defintions of the two gary.

However I would like to ask anyone following this to go back and read it again with this in mind:

The questioner asked the question like this: "I would like to ask, since "WE" have defined the two polarities as service-to-others and service-to-self, is there a more complete or eloquent or enlightening definition of these "polarities"..."

Ra responded with this : "It is unlikely that there is a more ... eloquent description of the 'polarities of third density'; (not saying polarities of STS/STO).....However, we might consider the polarities using slightly variant terms....One might consider the polarities with the literal nature enjoyed by the physical polarity of the magnet. The negative and positive"

I would like to suggest that Ra did NOT respond by saying that STS and STO were polarities, but in acknowledgment that the questioner should look at them in another manner.

Polarity is the natural division caused by the coming into Being of the One. All polarity is a result of that manifestation.

STS and STO are choices one makes as a fragment of the One. These are not polarities.

This thinking of them being natural polarities is what causes problems when we get to the next verse where Ra speaks of the picnic and personal tastes. Those who misinterpret Ra's explanation of STS/STO as being the natural manifestation of polarity also see it as nothing more than enjoying all of nature's offerings.

And this leads to some who may be looking for excuses to partake, to do so with just cause.

Can you see how this can be extremely misleading and dangerous to the soul of the All?

as you said in your final sentence Gary, "All these experiences are available. It is the free will of each entity which chooses the form of play, the form of pleasure." How you say that suggests that STs can be a form of pleasure. We know by your deifnitions above that is NOT what you mean, and that you mean that some taste it as pleasure and others do not. But the way it is said and interpreted becomes the avenue that many will use to attempt the dangerous.

I think that the candor that Ra uses in trying to be diplomatic, causes their teachings to be easily corrupted. Much discernment is advised in learning from Ra, whereas Hatonn is much less diplomatic.
