Say you have a person who day to day lives their lives in service to others, simply because that feels natural to them. They volunteer, they help old ladies cross the road, they aid the poor and in general spend their days spreading love and working to do good for others. The only twist is that despite all of this service, this person eats meat, not constantly, but it is part of their diet.
Is this person STS or STO? Is the apparent service to self of eating meat enough to completely dispel the service to others? Will this person inevitably be unharvestable because of this aspect of themselves? No matter how much good the person might do because they eat meat, they will, for their lives, be serving themselves?
The requirement for graduation to 4D+ is 51% STO. That means one can be 49% STS and still graduate to positive. We all have our dark natures to some degree, and that can vary from person to person. It would be impossible to assess the polarity of another entity, even if that person was an obvious STS (Hitler) or an obvious STO (Mother Theresa).
We can't assess someone's external actions because we don't know their motivations and intentions.

Quote:46.16 ▶ Questioner: What is the plan for use of the catalyst of cancer?
Ra: I am Ra. The catalyst, and all catalyst, is designed to offer experience. This experience in your density may be loved and accepted or it may be controlled. These are the two paths. When neither path is chosen the catalyst fails in its design and the entity proceeds until catalyst strikes it which causes it to form a bias towards acceptance and love or separation and control. There is no lack of space/time in which this catalyst may work.
Ra said a whole lot more than that about the STO path. As I said, the entire concept of STO cannot be reduced to that little snippet. There is much more to it than that.
