Worship?

[IndigoSalvia]

Are we not all multi-layered beings seeking assurance and protection as well as growth.  The difference, it seems to me, is in how these are proportioned per each individual.

Oh yes, I agree. I think of myself as a dish with ever-changing energetic ingredients in ever-changing quantities, ebbing and flowing between STO and STS (hopefully cumulatively STO-dominant). And, collectively we are an infinite dish.  

Perhaps, due to the resent chaos we are more apt to see first, separation, but that might expand our thirst for unity within our heart ?

I think flofrog summed it up nicely. When we sense safety, we might seek more safety, or seek challenges/growth at various intensities; and vice versa. And what one defines as safety & growth is going to vary. Mind-bogglingly infinite variations. 

Thus, going back to what MonadicSpectrum mentioned: recognizing and building on common ground, despite our seeming differences. When I remove all the 'noise' and distill the energies, I can see a lot of common ground out there among us. After all, STO and STS are both Love at their core, however, they are manifested differently here in 3D.
