What truely makes someone STS

[Plenum]

However i feel there is taboo on many different things that are generally seen as LHP or sts. Drugs, prostitutes, drinking, eating meat and magick. However if someone does those things are but aren't directly harming someone is it really STS?

I think you're referencing 'spiritual correctness' there.

Take Crowley for example, he took drugs, practices LHP magick, had sex with prostitutes , although some what unbalanced Ra said he was a positive entity.

probably a bit more than 'somewhat' unbalanced.

So it makes me think that do we really need to develop such a goody personal life in order to be able to positive and reach 4th density?

not at all.  Your life plan will be constructed with the life goals you had in mind.  For a negative entity, they will program their life situations to offer the greatest number of opportunities to continue progressing on that path.  For a positive entity, there will be ample opportunities to continue positive service.  Even though we are on 'this side' of the Veil, doesn't mean that we are in a sea of directionless.  Our life has been deliberately constructed with the opportunities we thought we needed to continue.

I found myself trying to give up many of the so called negative general aspects in order to be STO but is that really the case?

Trying to control impulses - which is what 'giving up things' is - only causes a rebound effect.

If you understand why the impulse is there, then it will generally fall away by itself.

If someone is balanced and is seeing the love in the moment, then shouldn't it be easy for them to be able to do all of those things above and not be STS or have bad karma?

STS is about the effect you have on others.  As is STO.

However what i tend to find is that people who call themselves LHP are normally just breaking social taboos and aren't really hurting anyone and those who are RHP and fundamentalists are really hurtful to many people. So its a fine line between the two paths i think.

there are labels and generalizations.  Ever investigated the druidic path?

Out of interests what truly makes someone STS?

When Ra speaks about negative polarization, then it is reference to the orange and yellow energy centres.  Both positive and negative have an open red-ray (ideally).  That means both sides are maximally open to new experiences and opportunities.  They both have a zest and love and joy in living and experiencing.

The blocked patterns for the negative path reflect two things:

orange ray blockages: control of the personality.  Control of the sexual impulse (not allowing it to be freely expressed).  Control of the emotions.

yellow ray blockages: to be able to maintain a superior standard of living, as befits a sts individual, they also control the people around them.  Finding ways of making income without actually doing any work is something that all negatives aspire to (being at the top of a pyramid scheme that funnels wealth upwards to the top).  They ain't interested in sharing; they want a position where they are able to dictate the flow of events.  Organised crime is a great example of this.  Being the mob boss means you have a whole gang of underlings, and when someone disagrees, then violence is readily imposed.  Blackmail, bribery, and mistreatment of others is also part of doing business.   Everyone wants to be the mob-boss, but there is usually only one.  Everyone else is enslaved to the boss.  These gangs also run sexual trafficking rings, sell children, etc etc.
