free will and other selves

[turtledude23]

Ra said people on the STO path are protected to some extent from negative catalyst, people on the STS path aren't.

I thought it was the other way around? As STO is a path of acceptance there is no protection, as one needs nothing to protect the self from, as all is One?

That wouldn't work, STO people are more vulnerable to manipulation, and they only have strength in a community or common support structure of some kind, they need protection to learn how to pay more attention to others and less attention to themselves. Someone on the STS path needs to learn how to fend for themselves at all times, be entirely self sufficient, not trust anyone, etc. so not having protection helps them learn those lessons. And STS is a very unsustainable path, only a small portion of entities can follow it for the universe to work, if it was protected more people would be on it and the universe would go from a Swedish democracy to a third world kleptocratic dictatorship.

92.33 Questioner: The protection here seems to be depicted as being on the right-hand side but not the left. Would this indicate that there is protection for the positive path but not for the negative?

Ra: I am Ra. You perceive correctly an inborn bias offering to the seeing eye and listing ear information concerning the choice of the more efficient polarity. We would at this time, as you may call it, suggest one more full query.
