Your whole post makes a heap of sense, and I have very similar concerns about the whole Fear/Love Inflow/Outflow etc. As I understand life, it's partly about striking the balance between service and receiving. Someone that only gives, is not healthy (that I have ever met) and someone that only takes is certainly not healthy either.

If you take the 3 most recent LoA posts, it appears to me that Steve has (talking in the 3rd person is easiest here) developed his ideas on this topic further as he has written more and expanded upon what is there already. Hence the dichotomy you quote earlier Paul (I think)...

Isn't there the common case where someone gives and gives and gives that they are satisfying something within themselves where they don't feel comfortable (for whatever reason/conditioning) not doing so. But isn't that actually 'taking'?

It comes back to another topic, one that Steve has covered about giving and receiving and how they eternally loop back on each other. here?

Anyways, that my 2 cents like yourself...
