How Do STS's View Other Selves?

[Immortalis Vigil]

As one who chooses to identify as STO, I can see other entities as sparks of the One Infinite Creator, as other versions of myself, as souls at various states of consciousness all seeking to reconnect with that creative infinity, etc.

I believe a fundamental, perhaps the most fundamental, chasm between STO and STS is the way in which others are viewed and their relationship to self.  When I try to fathom what STS sees when they view others, I have a difficult time - especially with the 4D and 5D.  Do they come completely from a place of fear where they see every other entity as a threat?  Do they have a destructive view towards creation and therefore try to get others to self-destruct?  Do they have a perverted or reverse view of human development and see destruction as the more expedient way to return to the Creator?  Are they so absorbed in their self to the point where they see others as their play things to get more for their self?  Is it simply a feeling of insecurity? In the words of Seinfeld, "What is the deal?"  What are your thoughts?

I walked the STS path for a time, so perhaps I can be of assistance in answering this question. I have not read the other responses, so I apologize if my response is redundant. STS requires the aggrandizement and service to the individual ego that makes up ones identity/perspective. Other-selves are loved and valued to the extent they serve the ego, but generally not valued for their own sake. Genuine love of other-self may arise, but such relationships are fraught with difficulty, as the STS paradigm is incompatible with genuine unconditional selfless love. 

One must remember that the individual who treads the STS path takes the path that is not. The ego that makes up the sense of self is an illusion enabled by our finite sensory perceptions. This puts the STS individual forever at odds with the creation and his fellow beings. Walls must be built between self and other-self to reinforce and strengthen the individual ego. The inevitable moments of empathy and love that arise between beings as a reminder that all is one, are an assault on the ego derived sense of self. Therefore, these moments are avoided, and the STS entity instead creates moments and relationships that highlight their differences. Preferably in a manner that flatters and reinforces the individual ego identity.

For the STS entity other-selves are a threat, because their mere existence challenges the concept of self as a separate atomized aspect of creation. But ironically, the other-self is also needed as a means of comparison, competition, and manipulation, to prove the self as separate and superior. It is a path founded in illusion and maintained with great irony.
