Ra's Adventures in Wonderland

[Tenet Nosce]

I have come to sense that choosing STO is the same as STS.

I would take it a step further and ask: If there is no true difference between them, how is that a choice?

Choosing to do what you feel is best at any given moment without worrying about "me or that self" is STO

I think what you mean here, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that spiritual growth occurs from simply being oneself, and seeking deeper into the true nature of the self.

Thus, "service" does NOT mean being a servant to false identities. Whether they belong to the "self" or "other" is irrelevant. In the context of the Law of One, service does not mean taking orders from people's egos. Including your own.

Service refers to "what it is" that one is serving. This is not the recipient of the serving, but that which is being served. As in, what are you serving for dinner?

Who you are serving for dinner is irrelevant in the context of the Law of One, since there is only one of us here anyway.
