Clarification: I meant this in terms of the 2 paths, as given by Ra. The STO path includes service to self. One must serve self in addition to serving others, for all is One. But the STS path is the direct opposite of polarizing positively. The STS path polarizes negatively, while the STO path polarizes positively. So I was asking for clarification as to whether Aion was referring to the paths, or just to the actual action of service.
An STS entity can still serve others, but for selfish motivations, for example. So can an STO entity. The outer action isn't necessarily the same as the polarity orientation.

Monica, politely, that wasn't his point. The way he means it is a bit transcendent of either path in terms of meaning or importance. He's doing what the paths ultimately both lead to. Service to self in the service to self path is still a service to others occurrence in ways in a mirrored way to what he just said as well.
May I also, politely, mention that his remarks on death and rebirth were not very bleak in my view. May I suggest that you reconsider your perception of his post? He speaks of life and death, and I do agree with him. Animal life dies. Plant life dies. There is suffering regardless. One is just more evolved suffering.
It's funny you say it takes a month to detox. It took me two weeks being non-vegan drinking a gallon of lemon-lime infused water (not even with cucumber) a day with 4 heaping tablespoons of hemp seeds in the morning to fully detox. Detoxing feels good actually, it can feel heavy and hard the first few days but then suddenly you're invigorated and full of energy like some kind of clog in your energy system has been removed.
But some take the suffering of that meat and transmute it with love given to those who suffered. Eating meat is a service.
I have gone vegan, and raw vegan for a while in the past, I liked it, and may even return to it in the future if I feel a desire to. But for right now, I am in effort of accepting myself and my habits, all of them including when I eat, meat or otherwise, and thank my food that has suffered once and possibly more than once to get to me, and now once more again, as I destroy it's more basic forms for my sustenance.
3D is a painful density for many. You can't end all the suffering...Sadly.
Gemini, depends on the person, for many it's long and drawn out. For some it's just sudden and you could potentially be dead within two hours (yay strokes D: ).
