True, but when is the last time you ever heard an STO hippie (much less an anywhere CLOSE to harvestably positive one) describe themselves as "driven" and "determined"?
As though they are fighting against some sort of adversary or struggle? That is a VERY STS way of looking at it.
The STO way is more "Going with the flow" and surrendering to the universe. Tell me, how is going with the flow "driven" or "determined"? How is surrender "driven" or "determined"?
Ah ! Well you see this is what an STO person can gain from that foolish leap of faith I discussed in my last post.
After an STO person throws themselves into the unknown, with faith and trust, and gives themselves up to the One Love, they emerges out of this experience with the seed of the awareness of the need for disciplining the personality so that you can ever become a more useful instrument.
You are choosing to discipline yourself, not to gain more precision for yourself, but because you recognize that the Creator, who is now in control of your fate, is molding the instrument that you are so it can accomplish its perfect will on this planet. The impetus you feel to discipline certain aspects of your self comes from the One Love who is shaping you up.
In other words, the foolish STO hippie eventually manifests the One Infinite Creator in flesh on this planet. The power for this lies within which STS is so afraid of and will by choice reject as being the ultimate foolishness.
