The self is also the One Infinite Creator, and therefore very real and capable of being loved. The One Truth is that which is beyond all division. After this comes the true and the false. The true is just as True as the false because neither is unified except in the One Truth. To explore the false is just as much a seeking of Truth as to explore the true. Therefore, exploration of falsity is as viable as exploration of truth. It is false that we are separate. It is true that we are unified. But neither of these statements is True because both of them imply the Many, which comes after the One. In order to find the Truth, the true and the false must be appreciated as identical.
Shin'Ar Wrote:Both STO and STS experience positive and negative polarity inclusively.
This is true. All experience is fundamentally constituted of an interplay between the positive and the negative. To choose a path is to choose a method of service to the One. STS serves the One within (or below, if you will). STO serves the One above. It is all the One. The path when walked will present myriad instances of negatively and positively polarized experiences. It is up to the walker of the path to decide how these experiences are to be integrated and used to walk further along the path.
