Selfishness of STO

[Plenum]

Hello, fellow members of the forum.

greetings!

I was thinking recently about STO polarization and came up with random thoughts regarding that one which I want to share with you and hopefully hear your opinions on them to gain more knowledge about this topic.

certainly.  Would love to offer a mirror to your thoughts

Let's suppose you are the one who progressed through 1st and 2nd densities over time and now you're in 3d (it might be or might be not your first incarnation), and you somehow became aware about Law of One. You have two paths to progress through: STO and STS.

that's a good premise.  But it would have to be understood how delicate the environmental and social factors are for such a 'new' individual.

Peer pressure becomes a greater force in those cases (much like a child being imprinted and impressed with their parents habits), rather than with an 'older soul', whose biases are much more deeply ingrained.

STO path may appear on the first glance as unselfish and even self-sacrificing. You acknowledge Oneness of everything and decide to live a life consciously taking actions to polarize towards STO by helping and giving to others. Is it really unselfish and self-sacrificing as it looks like? Are you helping and giving to others just because you know it will help YOU to positively polarize and graduate into higher density as a result? It seems to me that you are following STS path instead of that, because you might be giving to others out of fear of not graduating or thinking you won't polarize enough to graduate.

I think, conceptually, it's been easier for me to approach things with a different 'labelling'.

Firstly, there are indeed 2 distinct paths by which the Creator may know themselves ever more deeply.

Path of Acceptance
Path of Control

The first includes the STO polarity, which requires 51% to graduate from 3d, and then the graduation from 4d is not based on STO polarity at all.  It then becomes a more nuanced understanding of the dance of Creation.  

The Path of Control includes STS as a means of isolating oneself from other-selves.

So in the example you gave, rather than trying to evaluate the 'motives', 'intent', or 'outcomes' of certain behaviour, it's much easier to go straight to the heart of Acceptance/Control.  That will reflect the internal movement of energy/consciousness, much more so than any external self-justifications.  Much charity work, for eg, could be done out of a sense of superiority, and re-inforcing the disparity between two strata.

Since it was stated by Ra that you need at least 51% to polarize positively too graduate and at least 95% to polarize negatively to graduate, are you taking a selfish shortcut to have better odds of easier polarization therefore acquiring easier graduation?

No - the two paths are equal in terms of 'difficulty' and deliberate application of Will, to know the Creator in a certain way.  The percentages are misleading.

One could quite easily come back and say than 'control' is easier than acceptance; and hence it's easier to build up negative polarity for graduation.

The fact is, for 51% STO, one has to have moved the kundalini point at least into the mid-point region of the heart chakra.  That kind of 'acceptance' means being able to recognise at least 51% of your reality is universally loved by that individual.  Do you know how much distortion, cruelty, domination, disregard goes on on this planet?  To be able to love/accept/acknowledge 51% of that in a positive fashion is no small feat.

On the other hand, 95% STS just means becoming more and more selfish, and not giving a crap about others, and the consequences of one's behaviour on the feelings/emotions of other-selves.  It takes a tremedendous drive and will to become so self-interested, and to be able to shape one's reality and physical/social circumstances, where 95% of what takes place, is a result of others conforming to your wishes/whims/pleasure.  You can imagine that luxurious wealth/political power is the easiest means to that.  Much easier than raising an army/kingdom in today's social climate.

On contrary, I think that true STO would mean that you are helping and giving to others just because you want to help them expecting nothing in return (even not expecting to positively polarize or graduate as a result of your actions). You just consciously self-sacrifice yourself for the sake of others, not expecting to graduate or not graduate just live the life helping others for the sake of helping. You shouldn't even need to be aware of LOO or polarization to follow true path and in fact I think this is how positive polarization is truly meant to work. Will you choose to sacrifice yourself in blind faith of believing you're doing it right by doing what you do for the sake of compassion and love (not for the sake of knowing about LOO, polarization, harvest etc)? Or are you just choosing the lesser of both evils (I will help others to help myself because I fear I will not polarize enough to graduate, thinking you are following true STO while you do not)?

Again - we are talking philosophical profundities here.

For the situation that you cited at the beginning (new entities), these issues may not be so clear.  As I said, peer-pressure, for such folks, will be the more over-riding drive in terms of setting a 'trajectory' for polarization.

These individuals also would not have chosen earth as a base in the last century.  The necessities of the principle of seniority of experience (those who incarnate at harvest are the ones who can most benefit from being in Harvest times) means that the collective influence of Wanderers has been to support conditions of sharp, delineated opportunities to make a definitive choice.

Please think if you are following true STO path or just blindly following the path of helping yourself first by helping others and expecting that the God will give you bonus points for that later.

That's probably more a religious way of motivating the people.  To use fear as a drive for conformative behaviour.
