ZetaTalk: Orientation

pouring

themselves into the work at hand, able to meet their commitments because they can concentrate and devote themselves fully. This is the environment those in the Service-to-Others orientation find themselves in when living with others of the same orientation, and it is what those humans strongly in the Service- to-Other orientation experience periodically

now on Earth when they have the rare opportunity to be exclusively working with others of a like mind. However, on a

3rd Density world, trust can seldom be placed on others with complete confidence, as trust can be broken even when

intentions are firm and the commitment made by someone who would normally be trustworthy.

Trust can be broken under many circumstances, and thus until one has reached a community where all are trustworthy, one's guard must be up. There are several reasons trust can be shattered:

Even if a commitment was made by one strongly in the Service-to-Other, one known to be trustworthy, they

themselves might be leaning on others who would not come through, thus placing the Service-to-Other

individual in crisis and preventing them from meeting their commitments. Take the example of an individual

who promised to deliver food to a family without transportation. The food is purchased, the individual on his

way with the delivery, when the car breaks down. Another family member who promised to take the car in for

maintenance failed to do so, and lied about the matter to avoid criticism, so the car is now quite dead and the

family waiting for a food delivery are hungry and wondering why they are being left bereft.

Commitments made by the spiritually immature are often difficult to sort out from commitments made by those

strongly in the Service-to-Other, as they sound the same at the time. The spiritually immature will put on a good show, even fooling themselves, until the going gets rough. It is then that their resolve wavers, and the

commitment is put aside in favor of another avenue. The spiritually immature one makes all manner of excuses

to themselves and others, and where they forgive themselves readily they often leave those who took them

seriously aghast and distraught. To avoid such a situation, look carefully at the individual's track record,

especially at their performance when times got rough.

Those leaning toward the Service-to-Self will make commitments readily, with no intention of honoring the

commitment whatsoever. In general, they will say whatever gains them an inch at the moment, so those who

know them are not fooled, but those who are first encountering the selfish one can indeed be fooled and badly

hurt. In this situation, where one suspects they are dealing with a self-focused individual, it helps to give a test

or two. Place them in a situation where they must meet their commitment, putting themselves out in order to do

so, and watch what happens. With remarkable regularity, the self-focused one makes some excuse and tends to

themselves, showing how very shallow their commitment to others is.

ZetaTalk: Divided Loyalties

Note: written Oct 15, 2000

Divided loyalties are a common concept on 3rd Density worlds, where the decision is most often portrayed as a pull

between whether to serve the self or others, or as a decision on which path to follow when opportunities present.

These scenarios are presented often in books and movies as a crisis where the hero decides to risk life and limb in

order to rescue another clinging to a tree in a flood or trapped in a burning building, or an individual struggling with a career opportunity which would require leaving family and friends behind versus taking a greater role in a family

business. Seldom are the real decisions that afflict those firmly in the Service to Other presented, as these would be

deemed boring and mundane by most souls on 3rd Density worlds, who are not so strongly oriented and prefer the

drama of choices for self promotion. What are the conflicts that those strongly in the Service-to-Other most often deal with, which will surely be exacerbated during the coming pole shift crises.

Where those strongly in the Service-to-Other prefer the company of others with a like mind-set, they seldom get this

opportunity. Reliable individuals concerned with the welfare of others are spotted early by family and friends, who

make endless efforts to pull them into service as a loyal employee, a faithful and long-suffering spouse, or a friend

who can be counted upon to be there throughout any crisis. Such relationships are almost always portrayed by the

determined self-serving individuals as benefiting the one giving service, not the true recipient - the onerous boss who tells the loyal employee how grateful he should be to have employment at all in the current market, the philandering

spouse who relays that someone at work found them attractive and flirted or made a proposition. These techniques are

intended to keep the one giving service insecure, hesitant about breaking the bonds and going elsewhere, and firmly in

the service of the self-serving person. Given the attraction that those strongly in the Service-to-Others have for those who would use them for self-serving purposes, how does the Service-to-Other individual prepare for the coming

emergencies that the pole shift will create?

In the normal day-to-day, those strongly in the Service-to-Other work toward the larger welfare to the degree that they can free their time. They may work at a job to earn money, as the spouse and family obligations demand, but pour

their real attention and time into volunteer services that reduce illiteracy or promote green-belts or in some way

improve life for the larger pool of humanity. They divide their time, and most often have some personal resources to

do this. With the coming cataclysms, this will change, with emergencies endlessly presenting themselves and
