I go along with zz here. IMHO the paths are more similar than different. Each has a striving for the better and has certain incarnated and acquired talents. Those who choose STS do that not so much out of selfishness as for latching onto a STS leader who attracts them with promises of knowledge or power or a happy and fulfilled life. Most of these perhaps are gullible, yet a few look beyond those promises to the attractiveness of the leader's lifestyle.
The gullible are the ones who first become "enslaved" as Ra calls it, although along the way they may recognize clues and drop out. The greedier ones, I'll call them, want to get into the leader's "inner circle" and learn and achieve faster. The smart leader does teach them some stuff to keep them involved and tightens the controls, demanding proof of loyalty by recruiting followers. So in that way, the inner circle ones become the more enslaved. Still, though, they think they are doing great, growing and recruiting more happy followers.
Even the STS leader may see the role as doing right things, bringing more neophytes into the fold and spreading the love. They go down a slippery slope of deceiving here and there for the good of the group, demanding here and there instead of merely inspiring. Maybe it's only when they get into some kind of social memory complex and compare notes that they realize how off the track they have gotten, and maybe then they reinforce each other's selfishness because of the power they attained over the followers. Next they send information through misguided channels to 3D entities to keep the growth, replacing the many dropouts along the way.
So they don't think of themselves as greedy, nasty, baddies. They are doing their part to spread the green STS love, acquire some blue STS wisdom and, if they don't reverse their choice yet, turn a little indigo.
I don't see meditation by going within with silence as STO only. The blessing from that is probably neutral, at least until the student has made the Choice.
All this is pure speculation on my part, after picking up some hints about STS from Ra.
