something i've been pondering lately is the difference between a sto action and sto being-ness
a few posts i've read on bring4th recently have commented upon whether an action was sto or sts, and i'm currently reading the introductory chapters of Carla's 101 book which also talks about day to day sto actions, such as traffic courtesy
these comments on whether or not an action is sto have been jumping out at me a lot. i had always thought that the 51% sto requirement for harvesting referred to a beingness of sto, of the entire soul stream, not just this incarnation.
i have assumed that actions grow out of beingness - so you live what you are, sto actions happening natrually from a sto perspecitve. i didn't think of it the other way around, that practising sto actions could affect sto beingness.
so to have so many comments jumping out at me relating to whether specific actions are sto or sts has set me thinking. i'm probably not hugely aware of whether my own actions are sts or sto - indeed i would say i am much more concerned with whether my actions are fair or ethical rather than looking at them from a sto/sts point of view - which might seem broadly the same thing, but in my head it's not.
i guess i was wondeirng what other people's take on this was, whether you look at your day to day activities and behaviour in a sto/sts way, and if you do, do you feel that has helped refine your sto state of being / thinking?
