Evil seems to be what negative beings want to be perceived as, and this as a mean to not receive love and compassion from others. It is a mask that hides scars, vulnerability and broken innocence. It is a shell put upon the true self to lose sight of it, because that becomes the way of least resistance.
In some ways I would agree. But to me, evil is just a word, just like negative polarity is just words. Both mean, at least to me, a kind of exaltation of the negative pole -- the pole of the egoic and carnal self. And the same goes for the opposite polarity of good/STO: they exalt the northern pole, which is selflessness.
Well I don't really negate the word altogether, and would even add that it hints toward an archetype of the negative pole. What I consider false is that evil is reresentative of the negative path as a whole.
If you look at the Ra material, evil is only used within 3 questions which 2 relates to the Matrix of the Spirit and where the word is mainly used as a word of misconception, whereas the other is about Lucifier bringing this form of knowledge within the Logos as the true bringer of light, which allowed us to move, work and learn, which broke a path of pre-destination of fate. On the other hand negative is used quite frequently and is said to be literally comparable to the poles of a magnet.

But i'm sure that resentment certainly plays a strong role in polarizing towards the southern pole, as well as anger, frustration and a whole host of other negative mental/emotive expressions.
To quote Ra, "Some love light, and some love darkness."
To paraphrase Ra; There is no some, All is One, You are every being.
So you do love light and you do love darkness, and you are left to understand how you can come to love both. As you are told that there is no polarity and that they are a paradox, the key to internalizing both is to remove separation of them from your understanding of them.

I think what you said here is interesting because I think a lot of people who think they idolize negative polarization fall into this trap of mistakenly confusing their truly desired polarity with its complete opposite. I think this is exactly why so many teens and young adults are so enamored with being a "bad ass" and keeping up their "street cred" and basically putting on a quasi STS image, smoking cigs, doing drugs, stealing, and basically flirting with the more shallow aspects or fringes of the negative polarity because they "think its cool" or they think that is what they want (in reality they are just seeking group approval). The fact is, most of those people eventually get burned by an actual somewhat darkly polarized STS being (who really does enjoy the horrors of negativity) which scares them into seeking what they were truly desiring but looking for in all the wrong places: STO love.
In otherwords, the ones that are seeking negative polarity because they are hurt and confused are not truly STS, they are just lost and looking to get their sense of power back. I think that is what you imagine when you think of STS folks. But basically, I think if you had a multitude of real interactions with really polarized STS types you would see my point very clearly (I know you probably believe you already have, but I guess we are both entitled to our differing opinions). You are free to perceive as you like, I have little desire to change you. I just like to speak my mind every now and then.
Well there are many cases and I do not interact with negative beings outside some disincarnated greetings over the years that never last quite long, especially since last year.
You look at people as if they were just people, they also are a harvest of past experiences and this plays a huge role in one that will seek the negative polarity. The Creator/You, does not close up it's heart to hurt itself over and over again just like that, it requires quite the right cause and effect to lead there. Just like you won't tomorrow decide that you want to be evil, yet maybe if I take you from your earliest years within a future lifetime and make you live a life of sequestration and pain, then perhaps this will imprint within your soul a seed of darkness that will make you seek the negative path in yet another lifetime. If your soul has distilled love deeply enough, this would not necessarily be the case.
Truly you become "evil" through infinite ways, all within the cause and effect of yourself. Yet so long as you seek to perceive evil from an external standpoint, you energize a negative thought form of love not being perceived, once you seek to perceive this same evil as goodness, you are transmuting darkness into it's true form, light.
To see evil is to see illusion, to see the underlying goodness is to see truth. The choice is your own. The perception is of yourself.
