I voted myself as more than 50% STO. Because it is all mostly all I think about, and something I try and put into practice.
For instance, I practically gave a close friend a £50 Kettle the other day. He asked for it, and we have stopped using it in our house so I thought about it and gave it. Even though there was opportunity there for me to use it as barter or say I was going to sell it.
I also have a very strong desire to polarise STO. I think desire is where these things begin.
I can't think of many traps and challenges. Mostly, for me, it's been the part accepting of myself. Using my obsession for information in the correct way. It is easy to get caught up in the sensationalism of the path, and just be doing completely the wrong thing when it feels like you are doing the right thing, such as getting confused with the whole 'soul mate' thing.
