Service to Self individuals

[Minyatur]

How does one make an informed choice of whether to be STO if they don't fully understand the STS choice?

and similarly,

If you truly understand the STS choice and the specifics of what you'd have to be and do to become STS, wouldn't that knowledge aid in becoming more STO?

Light, Love and unity existed a long, long, LONG time before the idea of darkness and separation arose.  

But STO is not that light, love and unity. It is only a polarity of it which rejects it's counterpart thus bringing the illusion of non-unity. Well in a two-way sense where the STS path does the exact same in a different manner.
