Is meditation a STS act?

[Oldern]

Think of it this way.

You are meditating. You are a seeker. You are looking for something.
If you are looking to be better balanced, that means you will eventually find your center. You will therefore more compatible with your "other-selves" (the people around you).

Imagine a huge net of energy. We are the individual rope segments, bound together multi-dimensionally. And this life is our struggle. One end ofa rope starts resonating, the whole net starts to wriggle around, resonate and resonate back until the whole mess is a huge piece of resonating, struggling mass.

By becoming silent, by becoming something that has a center, by helping yourself, you basically took one step towards healing the whole net. Because now it wriggles just a tiny bit less. And that is what is important.

Of course, if you are meditating for more wriggle (I want to steal that girl from my friend! I want to get more payment from my job even if that means that boss will have to fire others to get me a higher position! Etc...), then you will get wriggle. And that is not a balancing, restorative act. I do not like the STO/STS definitions, as Ra clearly dislikes it too. At the end, the paths are the same when viewed from a different perspective, as he said it.
