To be honest, my view on what his reaction would be changes on a daily basis. There is also that possibility of him not agreeing with it and nothing changing. If he did agree with it, then he would either embrace the sto part of himself or embrace the sts part. It is very difficult to predict what would happen, or to come up with probabilities of the two possibilities.
As hard as it is for me to predict what would happen, my gut tells me there is a specific purpose that we know each other. Before I knew him, I was extremely cynical. I was cynical of anyone who felt. I thought that anyone who had strong feelings about anything was weak, lame, cliche, etc. When I met him, I saw the other side of that. We connected on an intellectual level, as we can talk about our majors with each other (I am a physics major and he is an aerospace major). This connection made me start to respect part of his perspective. While he is cynical about people making intellectual mistakes, he is not cynical about feeling at all. I witnessed his perspective on things, and it was a perspective that I had never seen before. Eventually, I mixed a part of my own perspective with the aspects of his perspective, which I now found valuable. What came out of his process (I have known him 3 years now) was a new me. Ultimately, this new me found the Law of One material 5 months ago now.
This mixing of perspectives made me much more balanced, in my opinion. However, I feel like he is not benefiting from our relationship like I have. I sometimes feel he is going backwards, which is probably what I recognize now as an sts path. But then, one day, he will act completely sto. I honestly don't know what to make of it.
All of this contemplating about our relationship has made me think about the possibility of there being a preincarnate purpose to our relationship. Maybe we needed to balance each other in different ways?
