One does not "want" whilst serving others. Whether the want is for the safety or health of another, in reality this is still wanting for the self. Giving to another for how it makes you feel is still self servitude. This is the disillusion of many whom give to "feel good" and believe they are "doing good".

The "mirror" reflects all. To hurt another is to hurt the self. To give - to truly give - to another is the same. The universe is in perfect balance, thus if something is truly given, then by universal law, an equal return shall be received. And this returns us to the "faith" or "belief" as we have discussed previously.


Perhaps I might point out that the STO polarity does not imply slavery by consent, or any such similar notion.
That said though, one should not expect the asking or the task at hand to be either pleasant or enjoyable. It may be, it may not. It also depends on the individual - things need not feel miserable despite the (perceived) circumstance.


The objective is to see self as it is without the bias instead of seeing what one wants to see or is conditioned to see.
Relate this to conscious self awareness if you will.


Yes that is correct enough with language limitations.

"Must" is a considerably limited concept. But if you "must" then you must let go of this "trying", "wanting", expecting.

Perhaps either an example situation to consider or return to the concept to understand for the next move...
