Just like when we use the saying: You lose site of your goal when you focus too hard on it.
But people make the opposite mistake - saying we need to hammer ourselves with the negativity of the world in order to evolve, that we need to drown ourselves in negativity in order to fuse our "magnetic centers" which should in turn attract us to our next level of evolution, that we need to prepare ourselves to survive life under slavery - all of which I think is baloney. I'm talking about the QFS for example, and some Gurdjieff schools. There are doomsayers like those at zetatalk, Major Ed Dames, and disinformants like Strieber -- all who either ignore talking about the positive side, or else feed a false version of it.
I think it's a fallacy because by neither seeking the positive nor studying what it is and finding it within yourself, all that hammering (negative emotional shocking by choosing to view the truth that way) either makes you go in circles or wears you down. In other words, when you hammer a nail, you gotta know where to point the nail. Saying "I'll study all the negative stuff first, and one day I'll be wise enough to even comprehend the STO mindset" is asking for self-defeat. It's like saying "I'll hammer this nail for a while, and one day I'll know what to pound it into." In the meantime you smash your thumb to pulp. I think one must do both - hammer and point. Learn both the gritty and the uplifting things about reality, or fall over from the imbalance.
Balance is key as always. Yes, learning about abductions, conspiracy, the matrix, mind control, corruption, etc... is necessary - but simultaneously one can also acquire knowledge concerning the positive stuff. And by positive I'm not talking about fluffy New Age talk, but rather practical, enlightening, frequency raising, and hopeful material that shows you the light at the end of the tunnel, shows you how to shake that invisible hand guiding you through life and sweeping you from certain death.

These are some books I have read which I consider STO-oriented material. There are many others out there, I'm sure. They are characterized by being balanced, practical, truth ringing, uplifting, empowering, and not diluted or fluffed up. They address the negative stuff but in a balanced manner.
We discussed some of this already on the STO/STS thread.
Acquiring fringe knowledge is like digging for diamonds in a mine field.
