individual ponders another’s circumstances, most likely because the other’s circumstances reminded the
individual solidly in the Service-to-Self of his own past. At these times the individual will quickly correct
themselves, getting back to the business at hand - self interest. Where the person firmly in the Service-to-Other
orientation will of course have occasional preoccupation with self, and even give the self priority at time, the
person firmly in the Service-to-Self continually takes this posture.

ZetaTalk: Animal Rights
Note: written Apr 15, 1997
Humans with a deep concern about the mistreatment that animals receive at the hand of man are well on their way to
operating in the Service-to-Others orientation, a fact that would not surprise either them or those who know them.
Horrific mistreatment occurs in the handling of animals destined for slaughter, in crowded conditions in which they
stand and lie in their own waste and are pumped full of chemicals that soften their meat but add nothing but the pain
of injections to their lives. The pain that laboratory animals are subjected to is even more horrific, in surgery and post-surgical care with the comfort of the animal the least consideration to deliberate chemical poisoning. None of this mistreatment is necessary in the least, but is defended as a business necessity or to further human health - all lies. The real reason for the mistreatment is the insensitivity of control oriented barons who run these businesses, who cannot be bothered to consider the pain they are causing if it takes a minute out of their day or a penny from their pocket.
However, those concerned for animal rights are not necessarily operating fully in the Service-to-Others, where they think of others at least as often as they think of themselves. The true test of orientation comes when the entity must
make a choice between themselves and another. Under conditions where caring for another is not truly a sacrifice, but perhaps merely an inconvenience or even a pleasure, a true test has not occurred. Caring for pets is almost never a true test, as they are kept for the fun factor, not because they are a burden. They romp with or otherwise amuse their
owners, are an extension of their owners egos, and build a sense of power in the pet owner due to the master-slave
relationship. Caring for pets is a safe Service-to-Other practice, one where the human holds all the cards, and thus not a true test of the decision to care for others on an equal basis with caring for the self.

ZetaTalk: Original Sin
Note: written by Jul 15, 1995
An age old issue - one that comes up in religious circles, on original sin. Humanity is viewed in its various life
situations. The babe born into a wealthy household, its every care attended to. Contrast this with the babe born into
squalor, where the food is inadequate but worse than that is the neglect by its caretakers and the battering rage that
swirls all about. Are these babes equally innocent? Is karma at play here? We feel we need an explanation for the
differences, and seek to find this. We are made uncomfortable, seeing the babe in distress, and are in a dilemma.
Should we neglect the self, step away from our busy life to attend to the needs of another? Should we get involved,
when our offer to assist may be viewed by an angry person as interference? To comfort ourselves, we tell ourselves
that the victim brought this upon him or her self.

ZetaTalk: Sin
Note: written Aug 15, 1995
One of the tools used by the religious elite to keep their minions in control is the concept of sin, by which they keep everybody nervous and hold the key to salvation. The rules, such as the 10 Commandments, which guide these matters
are almost entirely focused on actions not to be taken and how to stay in line. Apparently, immobilized, the devout will be thus saved from damnation. Who benefits from this? Those in positions of authority within the Service-to-Self
orientation, both human and alien. It is no accident that Church and State are frequently allied. Both want to control, to limit independent thought and action, to focus attention away from freedoms by describing the dangers therein. How
does this benefit the Service-to-Self? In two ways.
First, when humans are concerned more about following the rules and limiting repercussions, they are not thinking about how to help others. One need only be in a crowded theater when fire breaks out or on a sinking ship to see what
happens to humans when eminent danger is near. Panic, fear, me first, and all thought of helping others is put aside
until the self is safe and secure. It is the rare person, the exception, who thinks of others in these situations, as the treatment and attention these heroes receive attests. They are given awards, even post humus. How does the concept of
sin, as publicized by the religious elite, serve the Service-to-Self? By limiting concern for others.
Second, when humans structure themselves around a set of rules they are giving power and authority to those who set the rules and, in essence, giving themselves as possessions to those who set the rules. They are owned. They are not
free. Blind obedience does not entail any options or qualifications. Blind obedience is not what occurs when someone
runs a red light in an emergency, knowing that Stop and Go lights are simply a practical way of preventing collisions
at intersections. Blind obedience occurs when the flock follows the rules, so as not to sin, and lets the religious elite rule on when infractions have occurred. Who will be the judge? Not God, but those who own and possess the sinner.
This is all practice for life in the full-blown Service-to-Self orientation, during 4th Density. There the pecking order is rigidly established and the rules by which one may be punished are utterly arbitrary. The strong, who set the rules, deciding not only what rules should be established but when infractions occur. Rather than going to Hell because one
sinned, one tends to go to Hell because one worries so very much about sinning.
Rather than focus on the rules, humans would do well to focus on whether their behavior is helping or hurting others -
the true importance of their actions.
