"good works for the wrong reasons"

[Minyatur]

STS is nowhere near being false. The duality of polarity exists from self existing among other-selves which in turn makes both polarities valid paths and true in themselves.

If you want to talk about being cut off from our true nature, then what is false is many-ness. We never were many, we always were One exploring the delusion of being many. In this sense, both paths are equally false in themselves as they both explore the illusion of not being alone in an endless void with self being the only thing there is.
