What truely makes someone STS

[eccentric1]

Out of interests what truly makes someone STS? I think i have a fairly decent idea on it but i would like to hear other peoples views. I feel that the idea of STS is almost like a super villain or some cartoon bad guy, that is normally given. In this sense i feel that someone is sts when they consciously hurt or abuse someone to get what they want. However i feel there is taboo on many different things that are generally seen as LHP or sts. Drugs, prostitutes, drinking, eating meat and magick. However if someone does those things are but aren't directly harming someone is it really STS?

Take Crowley for example, he took drugs, practices LHP magick, had sex with prostitutes , although some what unbalanced Ra said he was a positive entity. So it makes me think that do we really need to develop such a goody personal life in order to be able to positive and reach 4th density? I found myself trying to give up many of the so called negative general aspects in order to be STO but is that really the case?

If someone is balanced and is seeing the love in the moment, then shouldn't it be easy for them to be able to do all of those things above and not be STS or have bad karma? If someone was to reach the 95% sts, i would think you would need to be a socialpath, someone really evil like Genghis Khan. However what i tend to find is that people who call themselves LHP are normally just breaking social taboos and aren't really hurting anyone and those who are RHP and fundamentalists are really hurtful to many people. So its a fine line between the two paths i think.

 

Great topic & post Matt - One of the things that let's you know you're entering into 4d is your desire for BALANCE - this means you know yourself well enough to know how to help others more effectively - or better yet, your desire to be of service to others in the most effective way possible leads you down the path of defining & refining your individuated self.


I do not believe at all that STS automatically carries a connotation of "negativity" - in Q&A 7.17 (& I paraphrase here) Ra states: 



"The distortion lies in the fact that those who seek to serve the self are seen by the Law of One as precisely the same as those who seek to serve others, for are all not one? To serve yourself and to serve other is a dual method of saying the same thing, if you can understand the essence of the Law of One."


You mentioned LHP & there is a great, great interview (IMHO) with an entity who chooses to call himself "Edward Pandemonium." In it he discusses that very subject & demonstrates how STS can be honorable & doesn't involve using or manipulating others. If you are versed in The Law of One, you will absolutely recognize all of its tenants in this conversation, even though he/they do not mention it or attribute their cosmologies to it. For me, this is required listening for everyone who participates in this forum. (This interview is hosted by Miguel Connor & starts around the 13:25 mark) :

Also, another individual who completely demonstrates STS as honorable is Neil Kramer. If you've heard of him, great! If not, then visit:

& read his essays & listen to his interviews & "Roamcasts" starting with the first...... well, well worth your time, I promise you..... you will come away with a greater understanding of such a thing as STS + !!


You can only ever love others as much as you love yourself..... plain & simple.
