Does trying to get to STO defeat the purpose?

[Ohr Ein Sof]

What if it doesn't matter to us where we go?
Trying to get to STO for the sake of that might defeat the purpose.

Where we are going in the end is the same destination.

That's why it's a path of STO and path of STS.
Path of Unity and Path of Separation.
In the end it will arrived at the same destination.
That there is no separation after all, only one person in the room.

I say live your life, be happy in the moment, and don't be a jerk to others.

Because 'others' do not exist, 'others' is actually a part of your own self.

The path of unity focus to experience more on this aspect, earlier on, than the path of separation.
It's easy to love and accept the lovable part of your own 'self', loving person, kind person, beautiful things.
It's not so easy to love and accept the 'unlovable' part of your own 'self', manipulator, hater, torturer, murderer, tyrant.

That's why the 'aspect' of STS and STO are defined as percentage within a 'mind spirit body complex'.
Every 'one' has both, and decide which that they want to focus and explore more on.

Thus the best advice is actually, be authentic with yourself, find your path and walk it with confidence.
In the end all path shall lead to the same destination.

I think even in meditation, we can help the world.

Actually this world does not need any help, it already perfect with it's contrasting polarity.
Providing ample of opportunity to explore path of separation and also path of unity.

Meditation, prayer, pondering, seeking will help one to be not too attached to this world.
Thus able to see things in larger / zoomed out perspective.
The perspective of his/her own higher self.

And then ultimately realize that this universe is actually a gigantic virtual reality simulation room.
And there's only one person in the room.

Because 'others' do not exist, 'others' is actually a part of your own self.

This also means you too btw.
We live in 3rd density. We literally have one another as a mirror to aid us in this journey. Why would we begin to deny this reality to perceive another reality? We first must master this reality then we may proceed. To accept the Law is One is not to "know" the Law is One. To comprehend Infinity, we cannot truly but we can accept that there is foreverness but we cannot know it in 3rd density. The word, "know" is pretty heavy duty. You accept many things and take them in as a belief perhaps, but you do not "know" all these things. Others exist in the space/time continuum, but only in the mind of God. Truly there is but One mind here. It dwells in Foreverness. Somewhere you can only visit for short periods of "time" within this space and this time. Denying the Laws of this Logos is pretty futile because you cannot really get around them. Even the Masters know this.
