Unnecesary division

There is indeed much suffering in the STS path

I think it may be incorrect in assuming that those chosing the STS path are suffering, in fact, I would say they are not. It is their intention to avoid suffering. That may be our way of "projecting" as it may be more likely that we suffer in these ways and not them. They avoid feelings of insecurity, worry, sorrow, hurt through perpetration. I do not feel they hate in the same we we view hate as hate may be a true motivator to act on something as if it were a que. Unless I misunderstood what you were saying.

The desire to see STS entities with compassion and in unity with us is admirable, but it must be said that these are entities that have already chosen to live in extreme separation from us

See, I feel it is ok to feel compassion for anyone but wisdom may say to not engage as it is not safe. Afterall, it is our other self. And by chosing to not feel compassion and unity with all of Creation, we are separating. Perhaps it would be better to say we should have a deep, unabiding understanding and respect for both polarities? In this way, we could balance our emotions concerning their choice so that we may release harmful judgements that only effect ourselves. It would be better to release the feeling the other polarity gives (or we give to ourselves when viewing it either way) to us rather than to hold onto it.
As each has its own gifts.
To play with a real STS individual would be frightening but to have understanding from a distant, not so much.
About Christianty, spot on. I have a sister that is a Christian and she wouldn't hurt anyone but when comes to really living within Creation, she has missed out on an entire life of really living and it has all been in the name of Christianity. It is really very sad but it was always her choice. She is so guilted in staying in that religion now I seriously doubt she will ever leave it. Loving her so much but she is by far the most spiritually ignorant person I know.
