The source claims to be familiar with the Law of One material and to respect that it is accurate.
The source claims that spiritually, it comes from a peer of Ra, who explores the negative/STS path in lower densities including our own.
The source claims that here on earth, it is part of a manipulative group that uses hierarchical power structures to explore the nature of command and control.
The source explains how the STS life is a spiritual challenge, as is STO, but not as demanding physically as the STO path.
I'd like guidance from a moderator about whether it would be appropriate to post the link, or extracts, here. Is there a way for me to send the link to a moderator?
Question, Questioner: Would you mind sending the link to me?
Thanks.

I'm personally strongly disposed to agree whole-heartedly with you. But then what lessons an entity desires to take on at any given time is another consideration all together.
Perfectly worded, thanks for adding that.
You, know, pphuck, I was lying in my hammock this afternoon taking a break, smoking a cigar and thinking about what STO's can learn from STS dynamics.
First I thought about the Phantom of the Ra'pera thread I started where I'm trying to draw out stories about the dark side of the light side. In other words, you can get hurt playing on this side of the fence as well.
Then I thought about how the road to Hell is paved with fallen gurus. The Rev. Jim Jones had one of the only racially integrated congregations in his area (a darned rare thing in Christian churches anywhere in my experience) and was way out in front in some progressive social issues. A lot of people fell in behind him for very sincere STO reasons.
So, maybe some knowledge of STSness is not such a terrible thing?
