Seeing the Creator in All Entities

[Black Dragon]

I don't exactly see others as the Creator. It's likely a matter of semantics for me, but also a concept. I don't need to see others as anything like a Creator, or being part of the Creator, or me, to understand that another entity is struggling and in pain (as Flofrog said). Maybe what I do is seeing the Creator in others, but I perceive it more as seeing through the lens of this reality, and through the lenses of those individuals here in the human drama. To me it's enough to recognize that all life is sacred and equal in importance. And given the challenges of this veiled existence, and the lives that so many people have to live—without love, some without enough to eat, some without any support system, etc.—it takes only a moment to recall this and judgments fall away.

I include all life forms as entities. Not just humans.

Well, to me, that's a mark of true and authentic empathy. I see others now both as the creators and as their individual selves(sometimes embracing a bit of paradox helps), but as a child/teen long before I was totally aware that everything is one, I was able to empathize with others and see they had needs and feelings that were just as valid as my own, because all sentient beings being equal on a fundamental level was a truth that I discovered before oneness of all things. Even in some theoretical universe where were all completely separate, I would still fundamentally value others as equal to myself.

The STS path takes until mid 6d where they are bludgeoned with the immutable truth of oneness into somehow finally getting the concept of empathy, which comes naturally to others before they even fully conceive of oneness. Part of it has to do with being an independent thinker and intuiter, the age-old issue of listening to the heart and being one's own authority. The STS path just accepts the authority of the apparent "Demiurgic" structure of the illusion(survival of the shittest, dog eat dog mentality), until they are finally slapped in the face by the larger authority of the truth of oneness. That's why I always keep saying the STS path tries to sell itself as very "libertarian" when it's really about conformity. Those who are their own authority have an easier time simply being themselves and naturally letting their heart chakra open.

As for some of the other points made on this thread about it being difficult to reconcile being one with STS beings. Yes, it's definitely difficult. It's a bit of a paradox. To me, from a big picture view, it's not hard for me to accept that all that reconciles and I'm one with those beings after mid 6. It's just hard to feel as one with them before that point, even if it's the underlying truth. We may be fundamentally one, but in this free will universe, the reality I want to create/co-create is very different from their own, so I will(do my imperfect best to) move in ways that are consonant with my ideals and the reality I want to create, even if it undermines the reality they wish to create. Doesn't mean I'm required to hate anyone. Just means I'm not required by my free will to support them in creating their ideal reality or support their principles at all. In some ways when it comes to the illusion, I'm going to be their adversary. Hell, even if I took no tangible actions in the illusion, I couldn't help but be what they'd see as their adversary just by being myself. So be it.

A freewill universe works both ways. Most of us don't like what the STS beings are doing, but we've got to accept their right to free will. They've got to accept they can't always control everyone and everything, that STO has a right to co-create rather than just 100% passively accept, and if STS beings don't like what we co-create, then BOO FUCKING HOO.
