Messengers of Love

I admit to being naive. To me the negative path seems like so much work. Some might think that being STO means that serving all is more work. But the little I remember of my path on the negative side is that work is pretty much all there is.

It's not about exploring the STS path, but understanding those who do (incarnate or otherwise). Because if you can understand them, and how they operate, you will less likely be a 'mark', let alone a victim, or be subtlety subject to their influence (and this could simply be the act of promoting ideas that keep you naive about them). Not understanding how they influence/control the environment around you may subject you to their plans and pitfalls. You may never be at risk of getting 'turned', but you can certainly be kept in limbo or suffer other hardships without realizing. It's essentially being street smart, you don't need to be a thug, but it helps if you know the lay of the land and the rules of the game. And even if everything remains ideal for you, being wiser can help you better serve others.

(Note I am not suggesting anyone visit any dark alleys, or dwell on the negative aspects compulsively, but you can safely read about it here to at least be mildly informed. And my apologies if this all sounds rather dark and ominous, but I prefer being straight about these things, I don't take it lightly...pun intended?)

That is not the area I believe to be naïve about.  I have great confidence in my abilities to spot STS influences (having walked that path myself to its conclusion).  Where I am naïve is in thinking that knowledge of the Law of One would automatically highlight how ridiculously more difficult the left hand path is compared to the right hand path.  Maybe for one having only a purely materialistic perspective, the STS path will seem like the easiest and most comfortable.  I cannot fathom what led me, eons ago, to walk the left hand path up to 6d.  I did not bring that awareness with me here.  So that makes me naïve about the reasons one would choose that path.  Maybe it's just the pleasures that it brings.  That I do remember.  The pleasures of power over others in all sorts of "sick" twisted ways.  I guess my diatribe basically answers my own question in the end. Work is not all there is on that path.  

Anyway, in retrospect I do not believe we absolutely need to understand why the STS path is chosen but how it interacts with the STO path.  I can understand the interests in knowing more about the negative path per se.  I did have a thread in the past trying to shed some light: Understanding negativity with The Law of One

EDIT: I also found this old thread again, wow I can't believe I wrote that: Are you awake? We change so fast !
