To serve the self is to serve all

[βαθμιαίος]

I don't quite get the STS philosophy, is serving their master only for the purpose of learning to appreciate serving oneself? Do they want their subordinates to be STS or STO, or it dosen't matter as long as they can enslave them? From the quote above, it seems STS entities want to or turn their subordinates STS, is this because their subordinates then can enslave more people, or do their subordinates have to turn to more STS even if their master don't want to?

Ra said STS sees the world as that which must be put in order. In their philosophy, the more powerful control the less powerful. So they're, in their minds, genuinely helping others by teaching them how to obey.
