The two paths aren't separate, but the two polarities still exist. You're basically trying to talk your way into a third path, but that's not really how things work, especially in regards to the negative path. For one thing, it seems like you're still wrestling with dualistic concepts of morality, since the question of whether STS people are "bad" seems to weigh on you. In fact, it seems like much of this is trying to provide a framework in which a "bad" STS can actually be "good."

But that's not how this works. They aren't good or bad. They simply ARE. And the nature of a sufficiently STS-polarized entity is to be an energy vampire of sorts, gaining strength by weakening those around them in various ways. Many of them would undoubtedly not even recognize themselves as being fundamentally STS. Take, for example, the archetype of the incessant whiner who's consistently self-deprecating as a way of fishing for compliments. They *weary* the people around them, just by being there and being themselves, and without deliberate action.

That's a form of STS behavior. And, of course, that's without mention the more overt forms, like the happy sociopaths who'll lie through their teeth because they get off on the pure manipulation. Or the passive-aggressive nag who simply can't mention another human being without casually insulting them in passing. (see also: "Well, bless your little heart" in all its many smarmy variations)

This is simply how they are. There IS no good or bad. They attempt to extend themselves through domination and depletion, and their polar opposites attempt to extend themselves through embrace and osmosis. And that's what you're trying to do here - embrace and merge - but it takes two to tango. What you're offering is not what they want, no more than a guinea pig would want fish food.

The two paths run parallel to the same ultimate end, but that does not actually make them the same. And that fundamental tension - the "battle" of energies between the two polarities - are basically one of the dynamos that keep our entire cosmos running, productive, and full of catalyzing experiences for the Creator (and his sub-forms) to learn from.

Conflict is an UNAVOIDABLE part of that system. It's baked-in. You can't reconcile the two pre-7D, because it's one of the most fundamental dichotomies\distortions in our existence.

You're positive. Others are negative. Such is simply the way of things.
