Service to self / service to others

[APeacefulWarrior]

Another way to look at it is that the STS does perceive Oneness - they just see themselves as being that One, and everything else as being extensions of themselves. Which is an attitude that is... not totally incorrect, but still fundamentally distorted. But then, a sufficiently STO-oriented 3D or 4D entity could easily be so self-less that they perceive the Creator in everything except themselves, which is also fundamentally distorted.

Both are attitudes that can point one towards the idea of unified Oneness, but neither attitude has all the answers yet.
