Yes, others are seen as threats. Others are seen as all sorts of distorted images of the Creator. Others are not loved, they are disregarded for reasons...which justify the separation.
I believe a fundamental, perhaps the most fundamental, chasm between STO and STS is the way in which others are viewed and their relationship to self. When I try to fathom what STS sees when they view others, I have a difficult time - especially with the 4D and 5D. Do they come completely from a place of fear where they see every other entity as a threat? Do they have a destructive view towards creation and therefore try to get others to self-destruct? Do they have a perverted or reverse view of human development and see destruction as the more expedient way to return to the Creator? Are they so absorbed in their self to the point where they see others as their play things to get more for their self? Is it simply a feeling of insecurity? In the words of Seinfeld, "What is the deal?" What are your thoughts?
You want to know where they come from? From their own circumstances. Their own circumstances, which separates them from others. They are alone, in a sense, but they have ways of seeing the world, modes of thinking and ways of behaving, which support them through their orientation, strengthen their will, and keep them distant from the energy of the heart-chakra. It's not until something comes along that shatters their power source and scatters it, leaves them defenseless, and then a gentle hand is offered, that they might begin to walk the good path. Everything else keeps them where they are, in the negative orientation, including the way that they live their lives.

What I described there - I doubt that it's the only way to turn an individual from the negative path to the positive path. Maybe all it takes, at the essence of switching from negative to positive, is to learn to favor love.
