I don't think there is any material in the world which is "Pure STO", it would just look like the philosophy of martyrdom.
"Yahweh" was/is a positive member of the Confederation who was "mistaken in its effort to aid", but the Orion group convinced 'the people' that Yahweh wat the one who brought in the elitism. The Old Testament was written by people who had received these impressions. "Yahweh" moved on and changed their name, but the name had already been hi-jacked.
This is distinct from YHVH, which is the highest name of the deity, but which stems from the oral traditions that came before the Old Testament. It seems likely that these letter were applied for reasons other than being a "proper name" of a deity which to Kabbalists was too sacred to be spoken. I suspect perhaps it is not possible to speak it and so a placeholder was chosen or probably "found". Kabbalah is considered by many to be older than the Old Testament in oral form. There are some compelling theories that Kabbalah was developed in Egypt before Moses (some people say Atlantis, or even taught to Adam by angels in Eden).
Keep in mind in a lot of cases oral traditions existed before anything was ever put down on paper and what we see in the form of scriptures or writings are individuals taking those oral traditions and trying to "solidify" them. Often there were still widely different views going on at the time.
According to Gnostic teachings (which is to Christianity like Kabbalah is to Judaism), the god of the Old Testament is a "false god" and a demiurge whom is attempting to usurp the world from the "true Creator".
There is a lot of this sort of thing when you look at exoteric vs esoteric teachings.
In a lot of cases the exoteric teachings will be "pseudo-positive" or have many rules or laws for behaviour. Thus it seems a lot of "outer teachings" tend more towards being influenced by the negative. Then as you go deeper in to esoterics where it becomes more about developing a relationship with the Creator and many of the laws fall away and instead philosophy takes over. Thus you have the other teachings that deal with "the illusion" and then the inner teachings that deal with "the truth".
I think this is the way the dual nature of STS and STO exist side-by-side and can be found in any path. There is a STS and STO side to every major spiritual tradition and I suspect that the side you lean towards depends on your own biases.
Quote:26.6 Questioner: Can you tell me if the Old Testament has any of the Law of One?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
26.7 Questioner: Which has more of the Law of One in it, the Old Testament or the New Testament?
Ra: I am Ra. Withdrawing from each of the collections of which you speak the portions having to do with the Law of One, the content is approximately equal. However, the so-called Old Testament has a larger amount of negatively influenced material, as you would call it.
