Service to self / service to others

I thought that idea would be to make the transformation to sto, thereby coming closer to the idea of unity, that we are all one.

This is understandable; almost all religions and spiritual schools place themselves in a cosmology where the whole point, the whole reason for believing in the first place, is to be one of the good guys and not one of the bad guys -- however their moral system constructs that. One thing that differentiates the Law of One is the philosophy's absolute embrace of free will.  As portions of the Creator, we have a totally free choice of what path to tread, without judgment or condemnation. Evolution can occur both on the left hand and the right hand path, and progress back to the Creator can take a circuitious route through darker parts of the Creation. To quote the material:

In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.

So why even have STS and STO to begin with, if it's all an arbitrary choice? Apparently, we need a certain amount of focus to our spiritual power -- our thought, our desire, our will -- in order to continue our evolution back to the Creator. There are two poles on this axis of focus: to commit to the reality of unity, or to marshal almost our entire will or being towards the cause of denying unity. Our current experience in third density is like a gym where, in the same way you lift heavy things to build muscle, you deal with difficult situations to build your focus towards the way you wish to think of yourself, otherselves, and the Creation.  Those of Ra admit that the inherent bias in each of us that makes us choose one path over another is a mystery.

All the above is my opinion / interpretation, hope it helps.
