I can't deny that the potential for shared reality in a polarized group is enticing.
This below quote always makes me feel like the kid in class that is falling behind and can no longer keep up.

Ra: I am Ra. To attempt to reproduce an initiatory experience is to move, shall we say, backwards. However, the practice of this form of service to others is appropriate in your case working with your associates. It is not well for positively polarized entities to work singly. The reasons for this are obvious.
Well, these reasons are not so obvious to me. Why is it not well for STO selves to work singly? Ideas?
Regarding the above quote, and the specific instance they are referring to, I agree that protection is either a factor or the reason.
In addition, the path of STO and STS have very different foundations of approach to experience. The STS individual is focused on self, and then there are others to whom the self sees as different and in need of the service they can provide from the point of view of their focus. STO individuals seek unity and no separation between self and others. That's what may be obvious here. If an STO-polarizing person works, lives, plays alone, then there is an actual physical/mental barrier set up that may affect the overview. A lot of focus goes into the experience of self accomplishing something alone, which is closer to the STS focus, so can possibly have a depolarizing effect. That is, if the individual isn't already polarized enough to maintain a unifying overview.
Let's say you are an Amazon seller of some product. This can be done successfully with no consideration for the buyer, other than maintaining the good seller standing Amazon assesses. So you have to make sure the shipping is done right, follow-ups are done, and all the work that goes into the back end is correct, and this can be done with no actual love for the buyers who are giving you their money. But another person could be doing the same business exactly, selling even the same product, but this person genuinely cares about the customer, and has compassion and unity with others, so this person follows up and ships correctly, etc. not just because they may lose standing with Amazon if they don't, but because they really care about others. So even when one is physically alone working, even when there is no actual in-person contact, one can still have the embracing energy of unity with others.
