Wouldn't that mean that there has to be a balance between surrender and resistance? This world sure is confusing.

I imagine the society would judge the being as unfit to do so and not allow him entry, for the obvious reason to maintain peace and harmony.
There would be a very tricky dance between freedom and peace. Freedom is inherently chaotic, since freedom means that people are free to do what they want. The challenge is in allowing freedom without the harming of others.
The negative elite wish to create peace by force, and then the elite would be "more free" to do as they wish. In society now, you can see how well that's working out..
I have some ideas.
1. Parenting would change. Parents would be educated as to what it means to be a parent and ready to create children. Older people in the society would assume the biggest burden of care (those with life experience, who choose this honor). The parents would see and interact with their children, but would be free to pursue careers which may be in the form of help in their area.
2. Prisons would become places of healing, not punishment. Criminals would learn there that they are lovable. Their would be gardening, and pets from the shelters to care for, who would show them unconditional love. The keepers there would be kind and loving, and not accusing. Counciling would include ho'opopono work, to aid in taking responsibility and learning to let go of resentments. It would be a beautiful place of healing. I have been asked, But would they all just want to go there? (As if it were some free ride, which it would be.) I say, Great. Let them.
3. All the basic needs of society would be free—food, shelter, and education. Beyond that, individuals could go as far as they wanted. Some individuals would probably do nothing and be "couch potatoes." But after a while, everyone would be so relaxed because there was no more concern for when the next paycheck was coming in, or indignation in taking money to survive (which is the case with welfare), that the creative instincts would awaken and they would want to express themselves in some way and not hide from society like unwanted rats.
4. Education would change, greatly. I could write a book on that, but here I will say that it would include both hemispheres of the brain, it would be a cooperative system, kids would never have homework, memorization of facts (always a dubious term anyway) would not be the basis of learning, and they would teach each other as well as have guidance from adults.
Ideas like this would set the stage for the lessening of negative behaviors. Criminals are people who don't feel loved. As for negative beings—STS—if there are no people who can be used by STS individuals, because they are awake enough and love themselves enough, STS individuals would have nothing to manipulate. They would fade out, or try to use each other.
