Well we will have to disagree on that![]()
And conformity is a very specific word, it has different implications than harmony or unity, as it suggests an enforced bending of ones will to transform oneself to an ideal (and who sets the ideal?). The ones who demand conformity in this realm are definitely not positive types, or are at least very distorted (religious/cult types).
Just to add an analogy to my thought, I would view STO as choosing to be among friends, and STS to be more like being part of a corporation. Both have aspects of 'conformity', which is why I feel it's a loaded and imprecise word.
Yeah all of this is why STS reasoning(and perhaps certain STO distortions like martyrdom and self denial) can only be justified up to a certain point, that point being the realization that there is actually no conflict between oneness and individuality. That requires accepting paradox. Some people, including higher density beings, just aren't even at that point yet, and still...well you could definitely say "conform"... to false dichotomies. This would be like the Orion 6d STS that think their STS path is so libertarian/non conformist...well that's just a self-righteous and deluded crock of buffalo s*** if I ever heard one. It's ridiculous and laughable recruitment propaganda. I know better as a matter of experience.
