I read the entirety of this thread a few weeks ago and set aside some excerpts I wanted to comment upon or offer an excerpt from TLoO books.

My response: any reaction of fear when reading of the activities of service to self entities, I would offer, is a creation of the reader's, not the material's. In other words, I would not assign responsibility to the material itself for producing any fear in your heart. Which is not to say that fear is not a legitimate and understandable reaction, because being misplaced in negative time/space, from my standpoint as a positive entity, is just about the worse possible scenario I could imagine.
In my own limited studies, Ra, and to a lesser but not less profound extent, Q’uo, speaks rather objectively about the service to self path. Ra especially chooses very precise words so as to be as objective, technical, and emotionally neutral as possible, eliminating to the fullest possible extent of our language as much distortion as can be eliminated. (Except in the often overlooked excerpt when Ra says, "Entities of the service to self polarity? What mind/body/spirit complex invited these buttwads to the party?")

Quote:The interresting thing here is the text written on that card which roughly says : You are far on the path and thus you feel separated from the others, but this is an illusion because all is one.
RESPONSE:Session #80
Quote:QUESTIONER: Could I say, then, that implicit in the process of becoming adept is the seeming polarization towards service to self because the adept becomes disassociated with many of his kind?
RA: I am Ra. This is likely to occur. The apparent happening is disassociation whether the truth is service to self and thus true disassociation from other-selves or service-to-others and thus true association with the heart of all other-selves and disassociation only from the illusory husks which prevent the adept from correctly perceiving the self and other-self as one.

Quote:We could say the same for someone who is more STO , who is nice with ppl etc etc, maybe he is a nice person , but maybe he is still not on a spiritual path.

Quote:Prior to the veiling process the measurement would be that of an entity walking up a set of your stairs, each of which was imbued with a certain quality of light. The stair upon which an entity stopped would be either third-density light or fourth-density light. Between the two stairs lies the threshold. To cross that threshold is difficult. There is resistance at the edge, shall we say, of each density. The faculty of faith or will needs to be understood, nourished, and developed in order to have an entity which seeks past the boundary of third density. Those entities which do not do their homework, be they ever so amiable, shall not cross. It was this situation which faced the Logoi prior to the veiling process being introduced into the experiential continuum of third density.

Quote:In summary, I think that those things we do not understand, we are more likely to fear. I also believe that many quotes from Q'uo and Ra have resulted in some amount of fear of STS on the part of STO entities. I felt it myself, for example, when reading about the possibility of Carla being trapped in STS time/space and needing to incarnate and advance in STS space/time due to the trickery of an STS entity. Although Ra is clear that "all would have worked out well in the end", did it not create in you the slightest feelings of fear or anger for their wanting to be so deceptive? It did with me, and thus began my quest to better understand STS, and lose my fear and anger.
