A few question about STS

1. Do STS-Beings progress slower or faster than STO-Beings? I heard people say both so I'm confused now.

From this transcript:

You see, my friends, service to others is actually service to self, for as you serve others, you learn. If you serve yourself first, the learning is so much harder and comes so much more slowly. As you give, so you receive. As you put yourself into difficulty, so you discover peace. As you remain serene within yourself, so you maintain all of [the] peace that you can. Note, we did not say, “may.” There is only so much that you can do in service to entities others than the self. This is due to the free will of each individual.

2. Do STS-Beings have more free will than STO-Beings? I was thinking if they are going towards spiritual entropy they would become more and more predictable as they are moving towards the lowest state possible which is matter, correct?

In some sense, yes. The Confederation sources often describe the positive path as a surrender to a greater will, or rather yielding to the will that comes from a larger identity that partakes more of unity. Meanwhile, the negative path seems to be a doubling down on the free will of the entity as a separate entity. So to the extent that free will is precisely designed to butt up against distortions, the path that emphasizes grosser distortions emphasizes more "free will".

There's probably some sense in which what I said is wrong, but consider it one point of view on the matter.

3. How do STS-Beings progress? Do they do it alone since they can't let anyone help them or do they simply join the Orion Empire?

There are master/servant relationships that seem to reproduce STS adept hood, but it isn't help so much as mutual interest in progress. The master wants the servant's power for his own, and the servant wants to learn keys to increase their own power, which for a time redounds to everybody's benefit. Eventually there would probably be a contest similar to what is described in negative social memory complexes by those of Ra.

However you are correct that their entire orientation is one of being alone, of marshaling the Creation to their end. To the extent that they see themselves in any other, they must not grant that other freedom, but instead manipulate or eliminate them from the equation.

If they join the Empire what decides their rank? I mean Genghis Khan was probably one of the most powerful people on the planet in his time yet he only got a position as a shipping clerk. Who or what decides that?

Their relative ability to harness and direct light to achieve power would determine that. I wouldn't read too much into those of Ra's metaphor with respect to the rank.

4. How do you develop willpower? That is a general question I have. Sometimes I can feel my willpower deplete. I'm not sure if it's a real feeling or just an excuse. Does it have to do something with etheric and astral energies and is willpower limited? I've noticed that when I try to control thoughts, actions or feelings it works well for a time and then it becomes harder and harder and sometimes I can feel myself being drained and then I get weak. Is it simply a matter of practice or is there something deeper?

My thought on this is that you develop your desire. How do will what you don't actually want? So higher willpower may dovetail with understanding a purer and purer concept of our own desire. This would also have to do with polarization, I would think: as we reinforce the choice of polarity we've made, we build a clearer and clearer concept of that which draws us forward.

5. How do you heal trauma from the past? Also a personal question. I think I've got a few of my chakras blocked and I've tried meditation but most of the time my mind goes blank and then I fall asleep.

The balancing exercises are the conscious way. All other experience, including dreams, are the default way. We are continually presented with new opportunities to work with our traumas or triggers. You can also manifest a desire to work on those things you choose to, I believe.

6. How and where do you learn? Do other higher dimensional beings simply teach you or do you have to experience and learn everything by yourself?

By learning I mean learning about the other planes of existence and their laws like the etheric and the astral realms or as some call it hyperspace and how to navigate and control them...

I think those of the Confederation say that dreamtime is the venue for most lessons like that. See this transcript for more details.

7. As a 3rd dimensional being what is a realistic goal that can be achieved in this lifetime in regards to enlightenment?  

See this transcript:

We wish each to remember that this incarnation is most special, for at this particular, what you would call, time, those wishing to participate in the polarization of consciousness upon planet Earth are far more than the opportunities for animals which may house these consciousnesses. Therefore, souls to move into these human-being animals are chosen by seniority of vibration. This means that each of you is capable within this lifetime of achieving a harvestable attitude towards love. That is, each of you is capable of caring more for another, more for loving another, understanding another, comforting another, consoling another, forgiving another, than each cares for being understood or being loved or being consoled or being forgiven. This sacrificial nature of love, where one spends more of one’s time concerned with aiding others than one does concerned with aiding oneself, is a tremendously helpful way to move in polarization ever closer to the point where, when you do enter the larger life after the death of the animal which has carried you about, you shall be able to use the requisite amount of light from the infinite Creator.

My emphasis, and that was in 1989 so it's even more true now. Hope this helps!
