This is a sentence by truly refined understanding of LOO, I am grateful to you for sharing it.
I do believe understanding STS is vital to understanding STO and vice versa. Since they are a polarity, you learn from both by studying one.
Thanks for the compliment. I agree with what you said about understanding with the caveat that (A) it won't be perfect; "understanding is not of this density", and (B) I'm not sure we ever understand these matters on a level we have conscious access to. Are STO and STS coherent philosophies on the order of something we can be said to "study"?
Since from the viewpoint of polarization they are the two choices available to us, and since Ra says that this choice usually happens outside conscious experience, it seems like the study of STO and STS is itself the very work to be done in third density. All of us are doing it; it's what we're here for.
I'm a little concerned at how much defensiveness is being exercised on behalf of people sympathetic to STS. Where is the perceived outside threat that is justifying such a mood? It seems silly... we're all both polarities, so it might be more useful to study *ourselves* than abstractions like STO and STS. Or at least to use ourselves - our individual acts of balancing distortions and catalyst - as the context for such a study.
