For me, the most profound part of the above post is this phrases where Ra states that 'those who can handle this concept in a positive manner are few. I resonate deeply with this idea and it appears to me that most references to STS are defining those who handle the concept in a negative manner. I'm very fascinated by the positive potentials with the STS polarity, for it is after all on the leading edge of creation and its foundationally an expression of STO anyways.

above post quoted Within that which is called the negative path, the consciousness more and more begins to conclude that all power, all glory, indeed, all of the creation resides within the consciousness of the self. Insofar as this conclusion is reached, it is identical to the conclusion reached by those who serve others. The negative path, however, chooses to worship not that which created this universe experienced, but the self for containing all that there is. Those who can handle this concept in a positive manner are few. There is no true surrender, no true desire to do the will of the Creator, but rather the Creator and the self, so co-mingled, become a non-thing, a non-thought, and in the end, an unworkable path of service.

If there was only STO before the veil, it's kind of still the same. The veil being an illusion, every entity exploring STS is still STO at their roots. So polarity is not an illusion in the sense that there definitely is a choice offered to every entity for a path to choose. But it's more like whatever the choice is, it's never really escaping the STO path. Only in illusion it is possible to believe that one has chose a different path of it's own. But in the end it's still the creator exploring all of his different paths.
