2) would trying to be more service-to-others oriented be seen as service-to-self? i know it sounds crazy, but what if deep down inside i'm just being nice to others so i can ascend? this particular question worries me because i think i'm genuinely trying to be service-to-others but who knows whats going on in my subconsious mind. (maybe i'm overthinking it)!
3) can negative feelings be connected with negative energy? if i get frustrated/angry/scared/jealous will that only hurt my progress towards being service-to-others oriented?
