How could I better appreciate the those walking a negative path while REMAINING posit

[Plenum]

Maybe it's cause the STS path is "self reliant" and I'm still living with my folks? Maybe I'm just afraid to walk a path of self reliance? I dunno... I am REALLY trying to figure this fear out.

the two paths are configured around a relationship to the other-self.

Service to Others: respect, honoring, mutual relating
Service to Self: moving ahead, disregarding, cannibalising, subjugating the other-selves around them

Both paths require an amount of 'self-reliance'.

In fact, self-reliance is pretty the aspect that Ra pinpoints as the Primary Energy Centers (chakras 1, 3, and 5).

The even numbered chakras (2, 4, 6) are more aspects that point to management of the inner wellsprings, the true creative potentials.

These are broad generations - of course.  

But a lot of people want to be 'self empowered'.  That's not inherently negative.  It all depends on how the Relationship is structured to the people around you.

Is there mutual respect?  Or is there basically disregard and over-riding of other people's concerns?  Think of a military organization, or a mafia captain.

Once you 'join' a negative organization, there's very little leeway to say: "oh sorry - this isn't what I wanted.  I want to leave now."  There's basically massive punishment and coercion to stop you from leaving.  It's a control structure based on enslavement of the people at lower rungs of the ladder.

Of course - there's a strong desire to become independent.  Having resources gives you so much more Experience!  You can travel.  Eat out.  Have good times with others.

It's good to become an adult
