Polarity

[The_Tired_Philosopher]

If STO and STS do indeed lie at the foundation of the 3D experience, then all of our cultural stories should already be talking about them. That is, we should find it impossible to remove these concepts from our minds. Such is precisely the case with the concepts of good and evil: no matter how our literature attempts to sidestep these concepts, they remain fixed within our species mind.

While this is probably majority-wise correct, it's still well to try and not reference negative as evil (or wrong).  If you believe the Hidden_Hand dialogue, it sheds light that even positive beings will polarize negatively in order to help others, in that case, Lucifer being a positive SMC chose to polarize negatively to offer that much more catalyst to the Human Race as a whole to acquire their capability to utilize Free Will.  Their intentions don't sound evil even if we 'label' their actions as such.

As such it's not proper to label STS as wholly bad in any sense.  In similar ways that a STO being can be selfish and still be STO, STS beings can be selfless and still be STS.  The convolution starts when it's realized that by performing acts of Service to Self Polarization, you are offering a service to another that is not evil, but desired on a higher level.  It's not understood very well down here, and perhaps not even in 4D, but the making sense probably occurs in 5D painting the road to 6D unity.

I don't say these lightly either.  A STS polarization may include killing and torture, at this density of unknowing, it can be for some impossible to comprehend how this is a service.  When you consider Humanity all as One though, the sense begins to come into place.  Those who perform STS may not always want to go to those lengths but be tasked in doing so by the natural Ways required to Graduate to Harvest.  In those instances when one interacts with a highly polarized STS OR STO being, it can be disheartening in both ways.

The STO being will allow horror to occur understanding that is it the Ways of the World at times, in the best instance I can provide as an example, Christ allowed himself to be killed.  Even at the expense of much more good being possible.  Some would call that a poor example of STO mentality, not trying to further the cause.  However, that's not a part of the STO orientation in a sense.  To simply accept, respect, and love might be best attributed to the STO way, with Wisdom being asked to be used by those capable of it.  If the wisdom of the entity dictated it was more proper to allow the STS being to follow through with it's Ways, that IS a STO orientated response.  To struggle and fight against it is another manner of STO but in a convoluted distortion that you are trying to deny another while accept many others.

The STS being might cause the horror's that occur, but they need to.  Their own personal desires to go their own way is tasked, they could very well be loner's or CEO's or nobody's but they need somebody else to polarize.  In that way, their service is most greatly useful to the unknowing entities who fall 'victim' (label) to their service.  To control another is to give them the opportunity to find their Free Will, in this density, THAT IS THE POINT.

Make your Choices.

Both polarities are not wrong, yet in the light of each other, they are.  Everything can't be wrong, and in the light of a STS being trying to grant aid in their specific way, they can be termed evil, but they may not be truly evil, only doing as they must.  Not much different from a preacher who feels responsible to perform as they preach, even if they know their preaching's are incorrect to their personal bias.

With that said, Free Will also cannot be ignored.  One side abides to Free Will, the other tries to control it.

Abiding to Free Will means allowing those to use their unknown Free Will to make choices, sometimes, MAJOR ones.
Controlling Free Will means forcing those to use their unknown Free Will to make choices, sometimes, MAJOR ones.

Once an entity is aware of having Free Will, things get much more complicated.

Allowing Free Will means allowing people to make mistakes, to be as they will be, to do as they will do.
Controlling Free Will means forcing people to make mistakes (even if they don't see such an action as a 'mistake'), to be a certain way, to do as they are told.

On both spectrums, Free Will is preserved in that you can try to hinder Free Will, but you can't violate Free Will.  That's not to say it isn't possible and very easy to violate free will on the STO side, but on the STS side things are different.  Free Will isn't understood as existing on Earth.  As such an entity who isn't aware of their Free Will can't be said to be Free in their own opinion beyond a distorted belief in 'Freedom', in response, the STS being can and will use this distortion to their advantage.  Formulating rules on how to be, what is and isn't wrong, what people must do, OR ELSE.

At the purest levels it's hard to properly reference STO and STS as the same since their means of interaction are subtle in various contexts.
At the lower levels, it's easy to properly reference proper STO and STS interactions.

Let your child make mistakes, that's STO even if you let them put their hand on the burning hot stove, you've allowed them the Free Will to discover for them self.  Alternatively, warning your child to save them from the unnecessary pain as you deem it, is also proper if you aren't forcing them not to.

STS interactions are just as subtle and confusing.  But ultimately, when viewed in the proper light, is still acceptable.

It might be good to remember that Free Will is what makes STO and STS orientations so subtle and confusing for many, as the Law of Free Will is also referenced as the Law of Confusion, it makes perfect sense to me that we are confused on what is and is not a STO or STS action, intention, desire.  At the same time though we should be aware of it enough to understand the confusion that exists, and to try and make sense of it if not enough in our own personal and unique ways to properly ascertain our own biases, desires, and our true intentions behind our desires.

Our cultural mind is a mixed polarity, that views the pure sides of each polarity with distorted view (what is and should not be) when on one end all is as it should be and on the other end all needs to be shown what it is without regard.

Using the cultural mind as a basis can be hard when referencing polarity, the Matrix makes this pretty obvious.

Most people don't even know that they have Free Will, they just blindly think they're free without realizing how much of their behavior is controlled by rules and regulations.  Others believe themselves to be good as they force their children and friends to behave certain ways around them.  Others think of themselves as evil when they simply have considered and accepted (sometimes sadly) others' perceptions (a STO trait).

In the world of Black and White, White is Black and Black is White, there are no grays.  But once introduced, the entire world becomes Gray and Black and White almost seems to disappear except in cases of extremity.  If you've ever worked in an image editing program, you'd know that reducing the opacity to Black or White creates gray, with the White and Black seemingly disappearing up until a certain rate of purity (opacity) is met.  I like to think in the instance of 3D, the purity of white becomes painstakingly apparent around 51% opacity when they're showcased such love and compassion without fail consistently or considerably.  The black is not as easily understood to be purely black until reaching 95% opacity, at that moment it seems stupidly obvious that a person is that way and just putting on a ruse (take note, a STS entity will use facades at much higher levels to get much further, this is the act of manipulation) and as such at those high levels, it's hard to hide such behavior, it becomes painfully clear to the whole. (Not to say STO won't do so, but to get to 51% STO it's not well to use facades as it goes against the principles of STO mechanics regarding the way an entity is 'judged' by it's self, in this instance, blue-ray activation is hindered with lies)

A gray culture will most likely remain gray until those who come along to show it different ways appear.

You could call those who are coming along Wanderer's, but in the case of Earth, it'd be better noted as those with Dual-Activated Body's and those who have already Graduated on Earth and returned.  They're offering new shades of Gray leading up to White (STO) all while performing within the parameters of Free Will vs Free Will, they are not forcing anyone to do anything, they are offering ideas, innovations, and concepts, being aware of things many other's never thought of.

I am really fearful that I've just convoluted polarity for many...  Please ask me to specify if you are confused.  I've given the subtle natures of Polarity consideration but I'm not an expert, and I could be wrong...
I probably AM wrong in some context, in some shape, way, form, or otherwise in this post and my OP.  I'm not an expert, just attempting to publicly make sense of all of this Subtle Context and Mechanics of Polarity; from Personal Context to Societal Context to Whole/Mass Context to Infinite Context (the various levels Ra said we should consider)
