Greetings from the Dark

[Plenum]

The Sith know what the Jedi know, but do the Jedi know what the Sith know?   

I know you are using this as a metaphor.

I would offer a different way of understanding it.

The STO path is actually quite interested in how negatives relate.  That is because they see them in themselves.  They are trying accept and comprehend everything that any other-self chooses to do or think.  They recognise the other as being implicitly the self.

Things may be skewed because 4d positives are still engaging in the 'fight' against the negatives; and so it looks like a form of rejection of their choice.   But from what I understand, it is a defensive war (for protecting others), rather than an offensive one, to defeat them, and convince them of the ways of love.

The STO being can try to see why the other-self makes it's choices; whether they are positive or negative.  That's because they've made similiar (although not to the same degree) negative choices themselves as part of their learning process.  Don't forget, the start of 4th Density positive includes beings ranging from 51% to 100% positivity.  The gap has to be worked on in the process of 4d experience.

On the flip-side, I would say that negatives may have a technical comprehension of the positive side of things, but, ultimately, with a heart and a throat chakra that is deactivated, vast swathes of consciousness are beyond their knowing.  This is basically 2/7 of the domain of the deep mind.  Without that experience, there cannot be true comprehension of the other-self.  That's because they're not interested in the other-self.  They're only interested in themselves, and climbing to the top of the heap of the Universe.  The One Lord.  The One Ruler.  The One Creator.  And it's not their brother.  It's not their son.  It's not their arch-enemy.  The One Being, to them, can only be them.  Only one problem with that strategy.  You are not only in nominal opposition to the positive path (not that the positives want to control or change negatives in any way; the negatives view the positives as being the hindrance in the way of dominating the universe), but negatives are competing with every other negative on their plane of existance.  To climb to the top, you have to outbid or outcontest everyone in the chain of command/power above you.  That is an extremely daunting task.  If there is only One Creator, and that is oneself, then anyone above you is an absolute affront to that.  The Universe has to be made to submit to one's will.

I commiserate with your approach - hey, couldn't one become the One Infinite Creator in some kind of isolation or space where only the self exists?  One could try that approach.  But isolation is not really service-to-self in my opinion.  As Illamasqua related, the STO and STS paths only have meaning and significance when they are in the context of other beings.

However, the influences of the true color, green, acting upon yellow-ray entities have caused many entities to revert to the consideration of self rather than the stepping forward into consideration of other-self or green ray. This may not be seen to be of a negatively polarized nature, as the negatively polarized entity is working very intensively with the deepest manifestations of yellow-ray group energies, especially the manipulations of other-self for service to self. Those reverting to orange ray, and we may add these are many upon your plane at this time, are those who feel the vibrations of true color green and, therefore, respond by rejecting governmental and societal activities as such and seek once more the self.

However, not having developed the yellow ray properly so that it balances the personal vibratory rates of the entity, the entity then is faced with the task of further activation and balancing of the self in relation to the self, thus the orange-ray manifestations at this space/time nexus.

reverting to orange-ray, and isolation, is deactivating yellow ray.
