it's been my observation that one of the easiest concepts to lift from the Ra material is the STO/STS divide. This seems to be the easiest thing to latch onto, as its a very easy replacement for the Good/Evil dipole that most people implicity have.
but to me, it seems to do a disservice to the richness and the subtle conveyance of understanding that Ra offers in explaining the relative paths of 3d polarization.
if you look at the archetypes, it is the ongoing interplay and choice between light tendencies and dark tendencies; and these sort of culminate in archetype 22, that of the Choice. But is this Choice absolute? The most that we can say is that for positive harvest, a 51% light orientation is all that is required, and for a negative harvest a 5% light orientation is the benchmark.
it is very easy to identify oneself as 'positive', and not consider oneself as having negative tendencies at all. This is the cartoony type archetype of a do-gooder and a well-wisher. It is like the martyr archetype.
and likewise, a negative stereotype would be the tyrant or dictator of nations, someone totally self serving and incapable of having a conscience or acts of kindness and compassion. Another cartoony figurehead that is.
I think the best that can be said is that an individual might have positive orientations, and these can indeed be quite strong. Maybe strong enough for harvest, and strong enough to enable positive experience in 4th Density and higher positive planes.
but it would be an act of absolutism to think that a positive individual is incapable of separative acts and that they do not have negative tendencies latent at every step of the way.
and likewise, it would be a disservice to the Infinite Creator to think all negative-oriented individuals are incapable of acts of loving kindness and acceptance, as rare as those might be. In truth, those who polarise negative enough to harvest to 4D Negative can have a change of heart (quite literally), and switch to the positive path themselves by their own free will.
what I am trying to say I guess is that we can be so in love with the idea of the good/evil dipole that we inherited from our society that we just project this onto the STO/STS paths of polarization. When in truth, the concepts are so much richer and intertwined than they have been conveyed elsewhere.
so yes, there are indeed positive-leaning individuals in this world along with negative-leaning individuals.
