Dear All,
We must understand that in polarization there are extremes and direction. And as consciousnesses of free will we may choose our own direction. But we are also bound by the Law of One, which clearly defines that the universe is governed and bound by the One. Our directions are by choice, but the direction of evolution and the Ouroboros is not in our control. There are natural laws by which we must abide, without choice. This is Intelligent Energy.
Ra has spoken much on service to self, and explained it well in comparison to service to others. But in Our attempt to discern it we have missed the aspects of extremity with regard to anything of polarity. Both STS and STO will have extremity. And many here have been so involved in trying to understand STS that they have tried to make it seem like a good path to follow. And they have done so by ignoring the extreme end of that path and its consequences by focusing only on their particular aspect of it. An aspect which involves delving into the negative aspects of their self to truly understand their whole self. They have seen this as advantageous and even beneficial to becoming One with the All.
Ra tells us that STS is a valid path in that it is a good thing to come to terms with one's darker side. To understand those things about us that causes barriers and problems so that we can face them and tear them down if we so choose. And being able to accomplish this is beneifical, when it is done in the understanding of the extreme. To go there to face your demons is one thing. To go there and follow those demons is something else altogether. And this is the danger that has been ignored here for the sake of making it sound like it is okay for one to take the path of STS.
Ra tells us that we bounce back and forth. This is true of all things. The paths of STS and STO are no different than any other polarity that we bounce back and forth on. The struggle, and the goal, is to find that balance whereby the direction we move into is toward the Light, and not toward the dark. Because as we walk in those directions we walk deeper into the 'extreme' of those directions.
The extreme of light is Light, but the extreme of dark is Darkness. When one stands at the mouth of a cave, they can step inside for protection from the rain, and they can come back outside to bathe in the energy of the sun. But if one continues into the depths of the cave, the entrance slowly disappears and the extermity of the cave becomes your only reality. And in contrast, if one travels into the sun without the proper preparation its fire will consume you.
In our efforts to understand STS, let us not try to make it something that it is not for the sake of comfort with it. But let us see it as the mouth of the cave which needs to be explored very carefully while all the time never venturing too far away from the Light that waits outside.
Yes, one can certainly come to the end of cycles by going deep into the cave, but they will not do so in the same vibration and state of being as those who came to the end of that cycle by following the STO path.
On the path of darkness is one way of life, and on the path of Light is another. They are very different experiences, but experiences none the less. It is our choice. And our pointing to this fact is not an infringement on another's free will. It is simply the difference between compassion, and not caring whether you watch someone walk into a dangerous cave without warning.
I stand at the entrance to that cave with a lantern, and I do not impede the way or attempt to restrain. But no one shall enter that cave under decepetion or ignorance because I am a light on that path.
We are the Children of the Law of One; many on the path daring to go into the cave in an effort to learn more about the dark, and many walking headlong into the Light. But some walk too far into the darkness and become lost in its entanglements. Let us not, as brothers and sisters ignore this tragedy as just another aspect of free will, but let's hold our lanterns high so that they might find their way out, or better yet, choose not to go so far inside. They are NOT our enemeies, they are our fellow man making choices that they might regret, and that will not benefit the harmony of our species. That is why, in the change of densities, they will find themselves separated from us.

But who will you be protecting yourself from bridgetoofar? It will not be those of us who walk the path of service to others. May I suggest that instead of having to protect yourself from those who choose the STS path, that you be a Light to them before they go so far down that path that now you need to protect your innocent loved ones from them.
