Turtle, I really like the way you integrate these concepts. The quote which led to your "want to fly" comment make me think of trying to use tweezers while wearing heavy winter mittens. I don't have anything else to add because I feel you have such a concise explanation here.
Just as we wouldn't like a musical instrument with one string ten times louder than all the others.
That's exactly the way I take it. The STS path is the attempt to maximize spiritual development with the omission of the green way. This blocks the development of what would we call conscience. It also opens the door to what conscience blocks most people from doing: the utmost of power consolidation to a single manipulative will. I think Ra is pretty outspoken about both the potential and drawbacks of that path. Ra's also clear as well about the ultimate need to abandon it for any further growth. It makes more sense to me to choose a path that will not have to be abandoned, and that doesn't inherently fall apart even before that point.
