Comparison of the two paths

[Plenum]

What would an STO and STS adept have in common? What do people embarking on the paths have in common?

I will quote something from Session 80 which may shed some light ...

Ra:

It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other-selves. Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. The magic is recognized; the nature is often not.

this is something that I have experienced in my own life. When an individual starts coming into their own power and purpose (whether STO or STS), the so-called 'sheeple' and unawakened see this as threatening. It is almost as though they recognise the Truth of their own creatorship deep down, but seeing it being expressed in someone else points to the false aspects of their own lives; they don't want to deal with this at the moment lol.

truly ironic that those who become STO adepts pass through a stage where they are regarded by others as 'separate', when what they are seeking is more unity.
