No, I wan't implying anything about you at all - sorry if it seemed that way!
I was speaking in generalities.The LOO is full of guidelines for the STO path. Not infringing on the free will of others is the ultimate prime directive for those choosing the STO path. Since we all have had emotions concerning others, Ra recommended that those emotions be released and transmuted in such a way so as not to harm an other-self. There are myriad ways to do that...physical activities to release stress and anger, using the imagination but not acting upon those impulses, etc. Q'uo has also provided detailed instructions on how to recognize negative emotions and bring them up into the heart chakra, where they can be transformed into love. (I'm actually trying to locate that transcript - it is a very powerful technique!)

Sorry if I misunderstood! I was responding to your earlier post:

(In the greater sense, there is not a distinction between us of course, but I'm the guy on my particular front-line.) I don't claim to choose for others. Like Q'uo and like you here, I offer my opinions.
OK.

Not sure what you're referring to. I'm not uncomfortable...but I can't speak for anyone else.
We thanked the other guy for his service. If he is truly on the STS path, it is a difficult path. However, the LOO is biased to STO, so we do seek understanding of everyone participating in this forum that this forum does have a decidedly STO bias, since it is based on the LOO.
