STS viable path toward Unity?

[IndigoSalvia]

That's perhaps why Ra named STS path as path of wisdom.
Which eventually shall came to the point of balancing the wisdom gained (from understanding of the IS NOT perspectives) with compassion.

One intriguing question will be how does those who took the STO path gained wisdom?
Do they then need to take the STS path before 'graduating' to 6th?

One practical event that made me realize this is on terrorist deradicalization program.
The most effective method is to recruit an ex-terrorist to perform counseling.
As only those who has took 'the path' can fully understand the perspective of a 'terrorist' and have abundant compassion towards them.
Those who never took the 'terrorist' path would never ever understand the perspective and resorted to 'punishment' and 'judgement'.

Very interesting, all. 

As Diana shared: the common ground between STO and STS is love; the object (self or others) of love is the difference. 

Many of us have probably recognized STS and STO - a dance between the two polarities - in the moments of our lives. 

And, jafar mentions gaining wisdom along the STO path. I contemplate this often. One of the areas of my own work is to balance out my hyper-compassion (since childhood) with wisdom (discretion, judgment, and discrimination); and start balancing the two here in 3D. 

I personally see Light (wisdom, sagacity in my 3D experiences) as providing clear focus and direction for my run-amok compassion. I pay a lot of attention to Ra's comments on martyrdom. 

These two great universal energies - Love and Light - also dance together in the moments of our 3D lives. For me the key is bringing my awareness to them. 

Thank you all for sharing more nuances and perspectives.
