My understanding is that your "negative orientation towards other selves" would have to become a deeply ingrained part of your character to get you caught up in the planetary vibration. The occasional deviation from an otherwise predominately STO habit of thought and behavior won't stop you from going home after this incarnation.
Thank you for the assurance. I'm doing my best to do what I feel is right. I'm serving my mother when I can by taking her places she needs to go. I serve my pets by taking care of them. But I'm not a vegetarian. I tried to go there, but found it a challenge. So I might be lacking in compassion of animals there. But I do my best to thank the animal for its sacrifice when I do consume meat. I do believe I have a predominately STO habit of thought. I want what's best for myself and others. I serve in a different fashion than Mother Teresa for instance. But I want my service, whatever it is, to be purely out of love.
It's good to know there isn't a jealous God who will punish me for my sins because I don't follow Christ that closely. The bible says the only sin not forgiven is blasphemy against the holy spirit. I'm not sure how accurate the bible is compared to reality, but I've never done that anyway. I don't even really curse that much.
