STS, trying to understand

[pphuck]

Questioner: Why is the negative path so much more difficult to attain harvestability upon than the positive?

Ra: I am Ra. This is due to a distortion of the Law of One which indicates that the gateway to intelligent infinity be a gateway at the end of a straight and narrow path as you may call it. To attain fifty-one percent dedication to the welfare of other-selves is as difficult as attaining a grade of five percent dedication to otherselves. The, shall we say, sinkhole of indifference is between those two.

The questioner assumes that the negative path is harde, and Ra does not contradict! Instead he answers from that premise. Although I can't figure out exactly what he's saying.

Apparently it's easier to go STO than to go STS. Which is absolutely logical if you look at what happens in the world if you close your heart. It's basically like trying to navigate unfamiliar surroundings with your eyes closed. You tend to bump into things you do not see.

I get the feeling that the STS crowd is considered a different crows because Ra states "To attain fifty-one percent dedication to the welfare of other-selves is as difficult as attaining a grade of five percent dedication to otherselves" Which seems to contradict itself. Unless the missing hyphen means anything... It's like saying running 20 kilometers per hour is as hard as running 5. Unless he means that 5% is as hard for the STS guys as 51% is to STO oriented guys.

It's interesting to hear it stated this way, mathmatically speaking you are completely correct! It would seem to make no sense at all, at first glance. I think if you place your beginning point in between 5 and 51% it makes more sense. That is to say, perhaps your average, spiritually un-enlightened or sleeping entity who is not overly STO or STS in his actions rests somewhere close to 23% STO. Making conscious efforts to go higher or lower than that number is difficult, and becomes more difficult the further you move away from 23%. In that sense it would be equally hard regardless of what you do. (and I am assuming this is only true of thrird density). Just some speculation. Cool train of thought you brought up!

I believe this is easier to understand from the perspective of 2d entities progressing into 3d, and then onwards to 4d.

13.21 Questioner: Then how does the second density progress to the third?

Ra: I am Ra. The second density strives towards the third density which is the density of self-consciousness or self-awareness. The striving takes place through the higher second-density forms who are invested by third-density beings with an identity to the extent that they become self-aware mind/body complexes, thus becoming mind/body/spirit complexes and entering third density, the first density of consciousness of spirit.

In 2d, an entity becomes aware of self. In 3d an entity becomes aware of the STS/STO choice. An entity just becoming aware of self is in general not going to be of the STO kind straight out of the box, first of all it needs to learn how to handle the self-awarness/consciousness.

I wouldn't say that they're explicitly "23% STO", but they'd be pretty far away from the needed 51%.
