I came across this quote while rereading the Aaron/Q'uo Dialogues and found it interesting concerning service. Weekend 2, Session 6
Aaron channeled by Barbara
"We have spoken at length about negative and positive polarity as service to self and service to others. When there is not a distinction between self and others, you inevitably serve yourself because there is no other self or other. And, truly, even that entity that you think of as a negatively polarized being in service to self, without having the intention of doing so, does serve others because there is no difference between self and other.
Thus, the difference is not in the direction of the service so much as the intention. When there is intention of service to self, it is because fear is present; and greed, needing, and grasping. The distinction, then, becomes intention to serve fear and the solidified self that grows out of fear, versus the intention to serve love and the deep connection that grows out of love."
