The “Best Ways” of Being of 'Service to Others'
The Law of One, Book I, Session 1
Questioner: If an individual makes efforts to act as a catalyst in general to increase the awareness of planetary consciousness, is he of any aid in that direction, or is he doing nothing but acting upon himself?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall answer your question in two parts, both of which are important equally.
Firstly, you must understand that the distinction between yourself and others is not visible to us.
We do not consider that a separation exists between the consciousness-raising efforts of the distortion which you project as a personality and the distortion that you project as another personality.
Thus, to learn is the same as to teach unless you are not teaching what you are learning; in which case you have done you/them little good.
This understanding should be pondered by your mind/body/spirit complex as it is a distortion which plays a part in your experiences at this nexus.
To turn to the second part of our response may we state our understanding, limited though it is.
Group-individuated consciousness is that state of sharing understanding with the other distortions of mind/body/spirit complexes, which are within the evident reach of the mind/body/spirit complex individual or group.
Thus, we are speaking to you and accepting both our distortions and your own in order to enunciate the laws of creation, more especially the Law of One.
We are not available to many of your peoples, for this is not an easily understood way of communication or type of philosophy.
However, our very being is hopefully a poignant example of both the necessity and the near-hopelessness of attempting to teach.
Each of those in this group is striving to use, digest, and diversify the information which we are sending this instrument into the channels of the mind/body/spirit complex without distortion.
The few whom you will illuminate by sharing your light are far more than enough reason for the greatest possible effort.
To serve one is to serve all.
Therefore, we offer the question back to you to state that indeed it is the only activity worth doing: to learn/teach or teach/learn.
There is nothing else which is of aid in demonstrating the original thought except your very being, and the distortions that come from the unexplained, inarticulate, or mystery-clad being are many.
Thus, to attempt to discern and weave your way through as many group mind/body/spirit distortions as possible among your peoples in the course of your teaching is a very good effort to make.
We can speak no more valiantly of your desire to serve.
May we speak in any other capacity upon this subject?
The Law of One, Book I, Session 15
Questioner: What is the greatest service that our population on this planet could perform individually?
Ra: I am Ra. There is but one service.
The Law is One.
The offering of self to Creator is the greatest service, the unity, the fountainhead.
The entity who seeks the one Creator is with infinite intelligence.
From this seeking, from this offering, a great multiplicity of opportunities will evolve depending upon the mind/body/spirit complexes’ distortions with regard to the various illusory aspects or energy centers of the various complexes of your illusion.
Thus, some become healers, some workers, some teachers, and so forth.
The Law of One, Book I, Session 17
Questioner: If an entity wants to be of service to others rather than service to self while he is in this third density, are there “best ways” of being of service to others, or is any way just as good as any other way?
Ra: I am Ra. The best way to be of service to others has been explicitly covered in previous material.
We will iterate briefly.
The best way of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self.
This involves self knowledge and the ability to open the self to the other-self without hesitation.
This involves, shall we say, radiating that which is the essence or the heart of the mind/body/spirit complex.
Speaking to the intention of your question,
the best way for each seeker in third density to be of service to others is unique to that mind/body/spirit complex.
This means that the mind/body/spirit complex must then seek within itself the intelligence of its own discernment as to the way it may best serve other-selves.
This will be different for each.
There is no best.
There is no generalization.
Nothing is known.
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.
Questioner: What is to be the entity’s percentage if he is to be harvested for the negative?
Ra: I am Ra. The entity who wishes to pursue the path of service to self must attain a grade of five, that is five percent service to others, ninety-five percent service to self.
It must approach totality.
The negative path is quite difficult to attain harvestability upon and requires great dedication.
Questioner: Why is the negative path so much more difficult to attain harvestability upon than the positive?
Ra: I am Ra. This is due to a distortion of the Law of One which indicates that the gateway to intelligent infinity be a gateway at the end of a straight and narrow path as you may call it.
To attain fifty-one percent dedication to the welfare of other-selves is as difficult as attaining a grade of five percent dedication to otherselves.
The, shall we say, sinkhole of indifference is between those two.
Questioner: Then if an entity is harvested into the fourth density with a grade of fifty-one percent for others and forty-nine percent for self, what level of the fourth density would he go into?
I am assuming that there are different levels of the fourth density.
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Each enters that sub-density which vibrates in accordance with the entity’s understanding.
Questioner: How many levels do we have here in the third density at this time?
Ra: I am Ra. The third density has an infinite number of levels.
Questioner: I would like to make a point clear now that I am sure of myself.
The people of this planet, following any religion or no religion at all, or having no intellectual knowledge at all of the Law of One, can still be harvested into the fourth density if they are of that vibration.
Is that not correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
However, you will find few who are harvestable whose radiance does not cause others to be aware of their, what you may call, spirituality, the quality of the mind/body/spirit complex distortion.
Thus, it is not particularly probable that an entity would be completely unknown to his immediate acquaintances as an unusually radiant personality, even were this individual not caught up in any of the distortions of your so-called religious systems.
The Law of One, Book III, Session 67
Questioner: I will ask if I am correct in this analysis.
We would consider that the entity making this so-called attack is offering its service with respect to its distortion in our polarized condition now so that we may more fully appreciate its polarity, and we are appreciative of the fact and thank this entity for its attempt to serve our one Creator in bringing to us knowledge in, shall I say, a more complete sense. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. There is no correctness or incorrectness to your statement.
It is an expression of a positively polarized and balanced view of negatively polarized actions which has the effect of debilitating the strength of the negatively polarized actions.
Questioner: We have a paradoxical situation with respect to serving the Creator.
We have requests, from those whom we serve in this density, for Ra’s information.
However, we have requests from another density not to disseminate this information.
We have portions of the Creator requesting two seemingly opposite activities of this group.
It would be very helpful if we could reach the condition of full service in such a way that we were by every thought and activity serving the Creator to the very best of our ability.
Is it possible for you to solve, or for the fifth-density entity who offers its service to solve, this paradox which I have observed?
Ra: I am Ra. It is quite possible.
Questioner: Then how could we solve this paradox?
Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, that you have no ability not to serve the Creator since all is the Creator.
In your individual growth patterns appear the basic third-density choice.
Further, there are overlaid memories of the positive polarizations of your home density.
Thus your particular orientation is strongly polarized towards service to others and has attained wisdom as well as compassion.
You do not have merely two opposite requests for information or lack of information from this source if you listen careful to those whose voices you may hear.
This is all one voice to which you resonate upon a certain frequency.
This frequency determines your choice of service to the one Creator.
As it happens this group’s vibratory patterns and those of Ra are compatible and enable us to speak through this instrument with your support.
This is a function of free will.
A portion, seemingly of the Creator,
rejoices at your choice to question us regarding the evolution of spirit.
A seemingly separate portion
would wish for multitudinous answers to a great range of queries of a specific nature.
Another seemingly separate group of your peoples
would wish this correspondence through this instrument to cease, feeling it to be of a negative nature.
Upon the many other planes of existence
there are those whose every fiber rejoices at your service and
those such as the entity of whom you have been speaking
which wish only to terminate the life upon the third-density plane of this instrument.
All are the Creator.
There is one vast panoply of biases and distortions, colors and hues, in an unending pattern.
In the case of those with whom you, as entities and as a group, are not in resonance, you wish them love, light, peace, joy, and bid them well.
No more than this can you do for your portion of the Creator is as it is and your experience and offering of experience, to be valuable, needs be more and more a perfect representation of who you truly are.
Could you, then, serve a negative entity by offering the instrument’s life?
It is unlikely that you would find this a true service.
Thus you may see in many cases the loving balance being achieved,
the love being offered,
light being sent, and
the service of the service-to-self oriented entity gratefully acknowledged while being rejected as not being useful in your journey at this time.
Thus you serve one Creator without paradox.
Questioner: Then there is no other service at this time that we can offer that fifth-density entity of the Orion group who is constantly with us.
As I see it now from your point of view there is nothing that we can do for him?
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
There is great humor in your attempt to be of polarized service to the opposite polarity.
There is a natural difficulty in doing so since what you consider service is considered by this entity non service.
As you send this entity love and light and wish it well it loses its polarity and needs to regroup.
Thus it would not consider your service as such.
On the other hand, if you allowed it to be of service by removing this instrument from your midst you might perhaps perceive this as not being of service.
You have here a balanced and polarized view of the Creator;
two services offered, mutually rejected, and in a state of equilibrium in which free will is preserved and each allowed to go upon its own path of experiencing the one infinite Creator.
Questioner: Thank you.
In closing that part of the discussion I would just say that if there is anything that we can do that is within our ability—and I understand that there are many things such as the ones that you just mentioned that are not within our ability—that we could do for this particular entity, if you would in the future communicate its requests to us we will at least consider them because we would like to serve in every respect.
Is this agreeable to you?
Ra: I am Ra. We perceive that we have not been able to clarify your service versus its desire for service.
You need, in our humble opinion, to look at the humor of the situation and relinquish your desire to serve where no service is requested.
The magnet will attract or repel.
Glory in the strength of your polarization and allow others of opposite polarity to similarly do so, seeing the great humor of this polarity and its complications in view of the unification in sixth-density of these two paths.
The Law of One, Book III, Session 71
Questioner: In this session I hope to ask several different questions to establish a point of entry into an investigation that will be fruitful.
I would first ask if it is possible to increase polarity without increasing harvestability?
Ra: I am Ra. The connection between polarization and harvestability is most important in third-density harvest.
In this density an increase in the serving of others or the serving of self will almost inevitably increase the ability of an entity to enjoy an higher intensity of light.
Thus in this density, we may say, it is hardly possible to polarize without increasing in harvestability.
The Law of One, Book III, Session 73
Questioner: Thank you.
I would like to thank Ra at this time for the opportunity to be of service to those on this sphere who would want to have the information that we gain here.
You stated that free will, one-pointed in service-to-others had the potential of alerting a great mass of light strength.
I assume that the same holds precisely true for the service-to-self polarity.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect but subtly so.
In invocation and evocation of what may be termed negative entities or qualities the expression alerts the positively oriented equivalent.
However, those upon the service-to-others path wait to be called and can only send love.
Questioner: What I was trying to get at was that this alerting of light strength is, as I see it, a process that must be totally a function of free will, as you say, and as the desire and will and purity of desire of the adept increases, the alerting of light strength increases.
Is this part of it the same for both the positive and negative potentials and am I correct with this statement?
Ra: I am Ra. To avoid confusion we shall simply restate for clarity your correct assumption.
Those who are upon the service-to-others path
may call upon the light strength in direct proportion to the strength and purity of their will to serve.
Those upon the service-to-self path
may call upon the dark strength in direct proportion to the strength and purity of their will to serve.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 82
Questioner: You have stated in a much earlier session that it is necessary to polarize more than 50% service-to-others to be harvestable fourth-density positive.
Was this condition the same at the time before the veil?
Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full query of this working.
The query is not answered easily, for the concept of service to self did not hold sway previous to what we have been calling the veiling process.
The necessity for graduation to fourth density is an ability to use, welcome, and enjoy a certain intensity of the white light of the one infinite Creator.
In your own terms at your space/time nexus this ability may be measured by your previously stated percentages of service.
Prior to the veiling process
the measurement would be that of an entity walking up a set of your stairs, each of which was imbued with a certain quality of light.
The stair upon which an entity stopped would be either third-density light or fourth-density light.
Between the two stairs lies the threshold.
To cross that threshold is difficult.
There is resistance at the edge, shall we say, of each density.
The faculty of faith or will needs to be understood, nourished, and developed in order to have an entity which seeks past the boundary of third density.
Those entities which do not do their homework, be they ever so amiable, shall not cross.
It was this situation which faced the Logoi prior to the veiling process being introduced into the experiential continuum of third density.
May we ask if there are any brief queries at this working?
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 89
Questioner: All right; I’ll have to do that.
Ra stated that a major breakthrough was made when proper emphasis was put on Arcanum Twenty-Two.
This didn’t happen until Ra had completed third density.
I assume from this that Ra, being polarized positively, probably had some of the same difficulty that occurred prior to the veil in that the negative polarity was not appreciated.
That’s a guess.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. In one way it is precisely correct.
Our harvest was overwhelmingly positive and our appreciation of those which were negative was relatively uninformed.
However, we were intending to suggest that in the use of the system known to you as the tarot for advancing the spiritual evolution of the self a proper understanding, if we may use this misnomer, of Archetype Twenty-Two is greatly helpful in sharpening the basic view of the Significator of Mind, Body, and Spirit and, further, throws into starker relief the Transformation and Great Way of Mind, Body, and Spirit complexes.
Questioner: Were some of Ra’s population negatively harvested at the end of Ra’ s third density?
Ra: I am Ra. We had no negative harvest as such although there had been two entities which had harvested themselves during the third density in the negative or service-to-self path.
There were, however, those upon the planetary surface during third density whose vibratory patterns were in the negative range but were not harvestable.
Questioner: What was Ra’s average total population incarnate on Venus in third density?
Ra: I am Ra. We were a small population which dwelt upon what you would consider difficult conditions.
Our harvest was approximately 6 million 500 thousand mind/body/spirit complexes.
There were approximately 32 million mind/body/spirit complexes repeating third density elsewhere.
Questioner: What was the attitude prior to harvest of those harvestable entities of Ra with respect to those who were obviously unharvestable?
Ra: I am Ra. Those of us which had the gift of polarity felt deep compassion for those who seemed to dwell in darkness.
This description is most apt as ours was a harshly bright planet in the physical sense.
There was every attempt made to reach out with whatever seemed to be needed.
However, those upon the positive path have the comfort of companions and we of Ra spent a great deal of our attention upon the possibilities of achieving spiritual or metaphysical adepthood or work in indigo ray through the means of relationships with other-selves.
Consequently, the compassion for those in darkness was balanced by the appreciation of the light.
Questioner: Would Ra have the same attitude toward the unharvestable entities or would it be different at this nexus than at the time of harvest from the third density?
Ra: I am Ra. Not substantially.
To those who wish to sleep we could only offer those comforts designed for the sleeping.
Service is only possible to the extent it is requested.
We were ready to serve in whatever way we could.
This still seems satisfactory as a means of dealing with other-selves in third density.
It is our feeling that to be each entity which one attempts to serve is to simplify the grasp of what service is necessary or possible.
