i heard that the timeline split being based on STO/STS was "loving misinformation"

[schubert]

im not a big fan of the sto/sts way of viewing things. would it not be MUCH simpler and clearer to simply judge a being's level of development based on their level of empathy? something like an empathy quotient. empathy is the key underlying quality, empathy being defined as awareness and consideration towards others. (you could also say awareness is the key quality, they go hand in hand, more empathy means you have more awareness, more awareness means you gain more empathy. awareness is perhaps a more fundamental term but i'll use empathy for now since it conveys the idea of being more considerate and loving to others which is the whole point of having more awareness.)

the more empathy, the more accepting, forgiving, loving, etc. a being is (traits associated with sto). the less empathy, the more controlling and less loving (which makes one selfish) a being is (traits associated with sts). the more empathy, the more self responsible a being is as they realize it would make no sense to want another being to do their work for them as they are that other being. the less empathy, the more other responsible they would be as theyre still entertaining the illusion of separation. this is what i mean by it's the key quality.

if it's all about empathy, then why not just measure empathy? is that not the whole goal of this game? to develop one's level of awareness/empathy and reach unity consciousness? seems like a good way to view things to me cuts right to the chase. yes, i like it quite a lot!
