This thread is an exquisite example of what this new forum is for, IMHO. 
Per the LOO, the parallel path is only for a few densities in, I presume, this one octave. I wonder if perhaps the Ra and Confederation complexes, having long made their STO choice, betray their bias by the words they chose about the STSers, e.g. enslavement and separation. Makes me wonder what the Orion folk would use to describe the STO camp. Pretty derogatory, I bet, like no organization, no one in charge, incoherent babble, loose canons etc.
Anyway, I think that after a few (dozen? thousand?) 3D incarnations, I would feel a natural inclination toward a choice. Say if I feel full of myself and see lots of other folks as ripe for the picking, I would give STS a try. I probably would not even consider this choice at the time as anything but going to where my inclinations and talent lie rather than a selfish power-grab.
If I find some success at gathering followers, not slaves yet, who look at me as a solution to their puzzlement, I might get to liking this role and go down the path of consolidating my control and separating my followers into a hierarchy. OTOH, if I see things about this scheme that look like a mistake, I would back out and give up my power.
Even as a power consolidator, I might think of this STS scheme as just natural, where I recognize the differences of people by their enthusiasm and talent, with me on top. And if I don't qualify to be on top, as most STSers would not, I might choose to walk away from STS or just accept my place down the chain as a follower of the more qualified one(s).
As these STS roles settle into place, maybe none of those folks think of themselves as slaves or masters, just enthusiasts who get comfortable in their "proper" levels. Eventually, as Ra said, they get to the point where the STS lifestyle stops making sense, so they cruse on over to the STO crowd.
Until I started writing this, I never gave STS much of a thought. I just was satisfied that STO was the way to go for me, and those others were on their own. I don't want to minimize the threat to my/our lifestyle those STS types might pose if I let my protection down, but for now I will ponder this and see where it goes.
