The undeniable truth of Darkness and STS

[Monica]

But if someone states that they think that partaking in STS is a great way to learn about one's self, or that it really doesn't matter if someone murders someone or not because we are all One, than I would state that person to be STS oriented. Which is what I found with at least half a dozen members here as they argued their points about exactly that with me.

Aha, seems like a miscommunication here. Perhaps I can shed some light on this.

In this community, we refer to someone as being STS-oriented if they are on the path to a very high percentage of STS polarity - like approaching 90-95% or at least heading in that direction.

Whereas, an STO-oriented person is someone who is aspiring to be at least 51% STO. They might not be there yet, but they're actively working in that direction.

These are the definitions given us by Ra. We have exact percentages required for harvest. Someone nearing those percentages, even if not yet harvestable, would be considered 'oriented' towards that polarity.

According to these definitions, most of our members are decidedly not STS oriented.

Even those with whom you were discussing, who may be fascinated by conversing with one who professes to be STS - they aren't STS oriented. They aren't murderers, they aren't going around killing and raping. They might be naive. They might be going a little overboard in welcoming self-professed STS entities. They might even be a little too enthusiastic about learning about the STS path, but that is NOT the same thing as actually engaging in STS activities that control, harm, and dominate others.

Where I agree with you, Shin'Ar, is your point that some might be rather nonchalant about the STS path. I too have noticed an attitude of "well nothing matters because we're all One anyway" and "please, dark one, tell me more about your dark path! I love you!" and, as I stated in a previous post, they're really NOT loving/accepting STS at all; they are merely loving and accepting a polite demeanor, a mask, which seems glamorous because it professes to be 'the dark side.'

I agree, Shin'Ar, that such fascination could open the door to deception and vulnerability. I agree, Shin'Ar, that enthusiastically embracing those professing to be of the dark path, could possibly result in a clouding of vision, as the path can be seductive.

As I stated, I think, as a community, there is much room for improvement in our acceptance of one another's differences and personality quirks. I am much more interested in that, than in claiming to love and accept an STS entity who is being overly polite, when they clearly aren't demonstrating any STS attributes. What's to accept? Polite people are easy to accept. It's when others get annoyed, or hurt, or when there are misunderstandings or buttons pushed, that it becomes challenging.

HOWEVER, and this is a VERY BIG HOWEVER, the fact that ALL of us here have our shortcomings, ALL of us have indeed fallen short at times, and the fact that some maybe, just maybe, have become a bit fascinated with learning about the 'dark side' and maybe even have misunderstood what it means to 'love and accept' the dark side, does NOT make them STS!

I wish to validate what I consider to be a valid point you have made. I concur that it is a valid concern, and, for the record, several other members are in agreement also. Yes, a few others have told me privately that they too were concerned about an increased fascination with all things STS. One person even used the metaphor of the Pied Piper dancing with his band of merry followers...so eager are they to stumble over one another to be first in line to converse with the - swoon - STS entity who has graced us with his presence. (NOT my words, ok? Just passing it on.)

So, Shin'Ar, I validate THAT point.

HOWEVER, I also wish to be very clear that there has been a miscommunication based on an erroneous definition of the term STS oriented.

Bring4th members are not without flaws. But, most of our active members are most assuredly STO oriented. I am 100% certain of that.

Does this clarify?

Now, about Azrael and that Belial thing...? What's up with that?
