The way we think about serving others is that it is somewhat degrading. Well, the thing that it is degrading to is our pride. With some separation from pride we can treat this topic.
All human work is a kind of service. All vocations are a service in one way or the other. Everyone's jobs serves a purpose and at the bottom of it, it is about providing some service to someone.
Serving others seems mostly unfair! That is really what we don't like about it!
But is it so unfair? Seeing that the Cosmic Christ is at the service of human beings, the masters and angels are there to serve human beings is it then really unfair? Is the Cosmic Christ a Being that co-operates with what is unfair? Or is it perhaps a part of life, a value that the movement of life is based upon, in order to maintain life and enrich life? There must be more to it than it being unfair.
The way of pride is to have others serve us while we forget about others, especially about the possibility of serving others. Pride is not so well prepared to serve others.
Serving others just seems so wrong, tedious, against us, boring and inhibiting. Plus we don't get anything out of it. Apparently.
This here is a very interesting point. We come to Gnosis to pay not to be exalted. One thing I have learnt in Gnosis is that the moments of exaltation are only that, they are so short lived, just moments, the real more consistent and constant experience is to be somewhat down, and having to pay and this makes sense as we are under justice and we have karma to pay.
It being unfair is also its major strength. Because through it we can pay our karma and we can develop the essence. Because the compensation or reward of service is mostly internal that is it pays karma or it develops some values of the essence.
We either serve our Being or the egos we have. One way or the other we are a servant, no matter who we are.
What more can we say if our own Being is a servant of It's Father - the absolute, serving Him in creation. Each Being has a function and role in creation - thus fulfilling a service.
End (4101).
