That is very true. And in my opinion, the main reason why those of distinctly STS are able to exploit the system well, to their advantage.
Unless the planners of experiments take such loopholes into count, STS will always have an edge over STO, especially in current earth-like environments, anywhere in infinite creation. That is my humble opinion, and in a way, my learning offered into the fire of the ONE. I have no hatred for the negative though, for as you say, everything is one, for the good or the bad.
May the One Infinite Creator rescue me from this tiresome game of duality :-/
Advantage? Edge? That VERY MUCH depends on how one looks at it. I understand your meaning, but I am pointing out that STO can be seen with a distinct edge or advantage of it's own.
I often wonder how much "awareness" a negative-path-chosen entity actually has. We see our own STS tendencies and generally equate them to our own ignorance or ego-failures. It is said that STO doesn't require awareness, but I think awareness was my first step in choosing a positive path as I assume is the same for most here in forum. I wonder if even the top of the STS hierarchy are aware of wholeness, or if they are simply intensely overly sensitized and clouded by separateness (greed, power, anger, lust, ....FEAR)
Take power out, it is anger and fear. Lust and greed are too similar. Take greed out. Anger, fear, and lust then. But anger is directly linked to fear. Fear and Lust then.
STS- fear for the safety from lustful evil ones vs lust for the fear of freightened ones
STO- awareness that there is only One. One being in one time. Acceptance of the totality of this One.
