It is not rocket science; these terms were chosen by Ra and both 'paths' were deemed equally valid due to their having transcended polarity in the highly evolved state of being they hold at their current nexus. It is necessary to filter these terms so as to better apply them to our world, and when this is done the following definitions apply:
STO = displaying and acting from a place of kindness, compassion, seeking to assist others for any reason in any way
STS = self-gratification at the expense of others, perceiving no value in others other than how they may be of use to you, manipulation, greed, extreme arrogance, actions stemming from such unskillful states of mind
Thanks for these clear definitions.
