I think you're very right in that there's something primal about STS. I believe we can put in the context of natural selection as seen from our perspective. STS in 3rd density is about considering the physical world to be what matters most (this is so even in the case of black magicians). When an entity looks at the physical world, it sees chaos, struggle, survival of the fittest, and hierarchies of dominance and power. This is the way that life works, they think. And so, they decide to continue the brutal and seemingly cruel cycle that was the driving force of evolution during 2nd density. It's a logical conclusion that is not unreasonable in any way if one is applying logic to the extreme, in detriment of the heart.
Q'uo says that even to become STS harvestable, some kind of faith is required. Faith that power and control is all that the world is about. Faith that there is no meaning and no purpose whatsoever in love. The STS entity needs to operate on faith in order to make the decision to suppress the side of themselves that yearns for love before they properly and faithfully embark on the STS journey.
This is incorrect. A recent daily Q'uote explains it well:
"We feel that the true selfishness is to choose the path of service to others, and we are not playing with words here. We have found it to be the quicker path, the easier path, and by far the more joyful path. We find the increasing lack of competition to be most satisfying, and the ability ultimately to merge together as one creative, collaborative being infinitely gratifying."
The fact that we feel good when loving others has nothing to do with negativity/STS. It's simply a deliberate way in which the Creation was designed to incite its individuated parts to help the evolutionary process of the All. To serve others is to serve the self. That's how it is, by design.
We are not any more selfish for enjoying the pleasures of STO than the cells of our bodies are for doing their task.
