Technically, I think that is actually a characteristic of the 4th density. Ra said the following in 19.10 --
Quote:There is one necessity for third density. That necessity is self-awareness, or self-consciousness.
That is why it is the level of making the CHOICE. The choice of appreciating the same ONE self in others, or denying it.
My humble opinion, of course.
Yes, this does look confusing. I interpreted it this way: In order to qualify for 3D, you must already have "mastered" 2D, awareness of self.
Now in 3D, as you refine your awareness of others, you reach the decision point, or the Choice. We know, thanks to the Ra material, that 3Ders make the Choice before Harvest to 4D, so it's easy to think that making the Choice is a big, big deal. Well it is, but there are no trumpets or drums marking the occasion. You just, upon some reflection, decide that with so much awareness of others and all things being equal, you want to be of service to them, "At least when it won't cost me anything."

OR, you have all that awareness of others and decide that, heck, they are sheep waiting to be fleeced and I might as well be the one who does the fleecing.
Neither of those, at the time of first choosing, is a big life changer. That first STO choice is a kind of "me first but then share if I have extra" thing. Likewise, the STS one is, "I'll mind my own life primarily, but if some other person looks like easy pickings I'll seize the advantage." If the first choice works well, the entity continues and hardens that style. If it seems like a losing proposition, the entity will decide the other path and see how that works out. Such waffling might last years and even lifetimes, I'm guessing.
Please note that I came up with these interpretations just to keep the information straight, and I'm not trying to persuade others. I was all by myself when I read those LOO books, and my mind was not strong enough to keep the details clear until I organized them with highlighters and notes. Ra didn't deliver the information in textbook form, so the bits and pieces were not in ideal order for me in the beginning. I like the style now because it delivers the information in pleasant and surprising ways.
