It's time to understand that as much as we would love to make a narrative of our personal development it's only a story for our personal enjoyment.
The spirit that is alive within you does not need a false sense of importance to exist, it exists as is, which is really the state of things worth looking into beyond mere intuitive suggestion. Once we stop using unnecessarily flowery language in social situations as a substitute for actual understanding and stop framing our personal experience as a cosmic struggle rather than a human trying to make sense of the world, we become much more human. And this, perhaps counter intuitively, is actually what allows us to become more "spiritual" in Ra's sense of spirit.
This false dichotomy of STO/STS hurts people greatly and promotes all sorts of black and white, us vs them thought patterns which aren't all that helpful or beneficial and it actually really hurts me to see people get swallowed up in all that. I'm not saying to go to the idea of "all is one no sts exists in unity", it's important to acknowledge the distinction between things, but it's also important to see things as they are rather than what we would like them to be.
Good luck to you GWV.
