The measure of what is right is what is in the heart, not what the mind believes. Experience has taught me this lesson many times over. One can claim that what is best for the All is right until the cows come home, but unless it feels right, it will have little impact upon the consistency of one's actions.

If your answer is yes, than it is very likely that you are NOT thinking in the mind of the Creator, but in the mind of the self, which is exactly the thing that we should be learning to rise above, and why we cannot evolve further.
This statement seems to be in direct opposition to the very concept of a valid STS path. You are welcome to believe as you like and it is not for me to make any effort to change your beliefs. However, you may benefit from the knowledge that very few people in the Strictly Law of One Material forum will agree with this statement due to the fact that the vast majority of them resonate with the Ra Material which endorses a valid STS path.
Also, upon my reading of the Ra Material, you sometimes seem to conflate the STS path with a severely imbalanced person who, as such, has not chosen any path at all. Indeed, many (probably MOST) rapists and murderers are not STS at all, but a distorted and flailing mess of imbalances. They are, as you would say, addicted to the flesh. The STS path is as much a path of discipline as the STO path is. Addiction has no place in either sphere.

Shall we stand by and avoid saving a child from a murderer so as not to impose on the murderer's choices?
One can save a child from murder without also telling the would-be murderer that he is wrong for doing so. Rightness and wrongness are beliefs and therefore they are in the mind. Actions, however, are in the body, and as such they have consequences. The consequence of attempted murder is often protection of the would-be victim. Again, all of this can take place without attempting to change the belief system of the murderer. The freedom of the murderer to choose what is right or wrong for him is far more important than the freedom of the murderer to be allowed to murder. The murderer will find convenient ways of murdering when he considers the potential consequences of the action, so there is no need to assist the murderer for the sake of preserving freedom. The body is only a tool for the evolution of the mind.
Again, there is no cognitive dissonance in declaring that it is neither right nor wrong to murder while simultaneously choosing to protect victims from attempted murder. In fact, consideration of the Wheel of Fortune and Enchantress archetypes suggests that because the murderer attempts abridgment of free will, it is only appropriate that the response of the environment to the murderer is reciprocal abridgement: anytime you act in your environment, the environment adapts to reflect your action back to you. Or, more simply, what you give is what you get, and sometimes you get it before you finish giving it.
