I do not disagree with you. I just do not take any problem with Ra's description of the STS path, either. Of course it is paradoxical, almost all of this is, that is the point. And of course STS offers a much more varied, in-depth, multi-faceted view of creation. And yes, "service to others" involves a high degree of "service to self", that's why those words are not meant to be taken in their singular definition, either. I mean, we can use different descriptions, like "one who spends 3rd density opening the heart chakra" and "one who spends 3rd density bypassing the heart chakra". One of these is deliberately denying a portion of its being, but in doing so offers a gift to the rest of Creation to make it more varied. Paradoxes all around!
I believe the STO path is solely service to self ultimately. The distinction does exist within illusions.
On a sidenote I believe what is required for a negative entity to repolarize is nothing more than healing. This might hint on why love also is the driving force behind that path.
I also believe the STO path includes as much resistance to truth/truths as the STS path does but through different focuses.
