The more I consider this matter of polarity, I'm starting to think that STS is right and STO is wrong. I mean, there is no "Other", there is only Self -- we're all the same, the separation is an illusion... THE illusion.
One might say that STS doesn't get that S stands for the larger Self, rather than the personal ego Self, but that wouldn't be true for all STS entities and the closer you get to 6 and 7D the less it's true for any STS.
The only way I can wrap my head around this paradox is to say that it is the separation and illusion itself that is "bad"... not the STS or STO paths on their own.
Any input on this subject would be highly appreciated. I don't count myself as STO nor do I count myself as STS -- make of that whatever you want.
I somehow admire this entire post deeply. It closely resembles what I am becoming more and more convinced of lately. The experiment of separation is evil in itself, if evil is defined by the potential to create pain and discrimination for those experimented upon. Why cannot those who do not want to be part of this experience of duality (STO Vs STS; Dark Vs Light) just go home if they want to??!! Why freewill is not being respected in that case? Oh, I know, because I do not want it subconsciously :p And the veil will prevent clear and distinct access to that subconscious:-/ Yeah, logos, pinch the baby and rock the cradle!! Good job and show of your powerful will upon me.

Seriously though, I wonder about the resentment. Did you post about it somewhere? Maybe you are an STS wanderer who wants to hold onto that path but got caught up in this foul and disturbing STO environment.
That made me laugh and cry simultaneously. Nice words, kycahi
