I have an issue with this whole argument, that being that "STS" and "STO", have never actually been independently defined. "Service" is a word that can come across in multiple ways, and is laden with connotation.
I will also note the blatant confusion considering the fact that Ra teaches that "All is One Self", and all other (sub)Logoi are "Other-Selves", yet chose to define the concepts of polarity as "Service to Self" and "Service to Others". However, "Service to Others", to me, seems to be more instigating of separation, as its "vibrational sound complex" often conjures a reference of "other than Self", simply due to the nature of the word "Other". Of course, with the explanation that we are all Other-Selves of eachother, does that mean Service to Self means serving only the desires of the consciousness of your physical body? Or is it a manner of thinking with intention, are you seeking to fulfill your own desires (which arguably must be part of the total Self), or are all your intentions on others, and giving to them, and "guiding" them (whatever that really means)?
They also implicitly state over and over that "All serve the Creator in their own way." They also state that there is a point of Non-Polarity, which is of Light, which is another point of confusion for many people because there's "Light/Love", "Love/Light", Limitless Light, Visible Light, Astral Light, etc, etc the word Light is thrown around like candy nowadays. In the same way, the word darkness, or evil, is thrown at anything that someone finds threatening or fearful, or in the excuse of the STO harmful to others.
So, where is the line, WHO exactly has the authority to define WHAT is in the "greatest Service to All"? If anyone here would so claim they have the answer I would instantly spot out as someone who is in Service to Themselves, afterall, must not all of our realities be honoured? Where is the line drawn?
Have we not yet learned that words are illusory?
