Do you think it would be fair to say that certain conceptions of "STS and STO" appear to be a reiteration of the "wicked and righteousness" meme?
I think you added it after my post. Probably, but I don't take from that that we shouldn't discuss what STO and STS actually are. "...it is a delicate matter to be of service, and compassion, sensitivity, and an ability to empathize are helpful..."
What I am suggesting is that if/when we open a discussion about STO/STS without being firmly rooted in the Law of One and Ra's nature and purpose, we are likely going to become confused. And if we continue down that path, we are likely to cause even more confusion regarding the Law of One. It's like trying to teach/learn calculus before we have mastered arithmetic. In this case: 1 + 1 = 1
If we reiterate the same faulty meme that took hold 6000 years ago, we will have worked contrary to Ra's purpose, which would most likely be a disservice, to both ourselves and others. (Of course, there being no real distinction between the two.) Discussing STO/STS is fine so long as we are crystal clear that "self" and "other" are an illusion.
Thus, according to my estimation, we might as well drop the last two letters, and simply discuss: What is service?
