...Still, I do believe that is the underlying message from Ra about the equivalence between STS and STO. They are both sides of the same coin, with equal stature to the One Infinite Creator....

Maybe the equivalence suggested is like a junction at a crossroads where one has a blind choice to go left or a blind choice to go right. So being blind one makes a choice and goes in some direction. After a while it either works out with no need to change course, or else it doesn't work out with a need to turn around and go back to the crossroads in order to go the other way to make progress.

Another way to interpret the equivalence may be to consider one style as offering contrast to another style in order to better grasp the relativistic differences. So our experiences with the dysfunctional ways may allow us to better appreciate the functional ways when we experience them, as if we can't have one without the other.

A pattern from nature may apply, that of predator and prey. When the predator eats the prey, then the prey becomes the predator by assimilation which is an equivalence of sorts. As all the prey disappears, then the predators are left with nothing to eat but each other until the last one dies alone from starvation. Then the prey and predators are all gone, and another equivalence is reached within that nothingness, neither is around. The predators and prey share their history of interaction, which is another equivalence, and so on.
