I wanted to remark, in the instance of a child being beaten against its will, that this is the perfect example to illustrate that perhaps, there is'nt such a thing as free will. Reading some books about mind control will inform you, that there are evil people, with evil intent, that do evil things to victims who are pure and innocent. Those victims, in no way could have chosen such a dire circumstance. Their death only illustrates that absolute presence of evil, here in our world, destroying people. I cannot say if, in this destruction of these innocent people, if something is done for their souls, some positive repercussion. None of that is known, all that is reported, is that Satanic acts do happen, frequently, and that children are always missing.
I believe an argument discussing STS or STO is moot, for a few reasons which I will explain. If you are someone who is prone to doing evil things, like molesting and terrorizing others against their will, then you are an evil being. If that is not your intent, and if you do not wish to harm any, than you are not evil at all, (and perhaps evil has tried to stick its foot on you).
We as consciousness, that is aware in a physical body, has to be service to self. We have to pay attention to the body's physical demands. We cannot state, that we would be STO, and then deny ourselves of something proper like food, clothing or shelter? Everyone is seeking these basic needs, whether they have them or not. This search is not about STS, just about being aware that the body needs certain comforts in order to survive. In regard to STO, I believe that we, as aware, truthful, kind and sincere people, we are naturally STO oriented.
I honestly, want to see to see evil eradicated. I would love to live in a world without evil, I think it would be much more pleasant! I think that this is an assertion, that other truth seekers may share with me. We would love to see the world change, because we naturally are intending the best for others in their circumstances. This could be called STO thinking, though instead I would state that this is a natural inclination perhaps, of some inner truth that we have discovered. I have often felt unsatisfied with STO, because I could never help enough, and it was important to realize that all human consciousness is trapped in the physical body on Earth, and this trap results in an immediate desire for STO, just for survival. The contradiction between such a limited viewpoint is apparent.
Either one is choosing to align themselves with evil, or one is naturally drawn to the truth.
In one side note, I will reveal that I have often contemplated suicide, from this evil and deceptive world. I am currently not considering this at the very moment, because I would sincerely like to see a change in my life time. Maybe it will not happen, though I know that by choosing to live, I am allowing myself both more good and bad experiences, I also have made this decision because I realize that I do not know if there will be further entrapment after death.
If you are a truth seeker, than you may be naturally drawn to share truths with others. With the STO extremes, it is encouraged that others do operate outside of themselves, and help others. This is not something that typically happens, most people in need are not given the help necessary. So, I do not believe that others can create such a dichotomy, as service to self, and service to others, when those in need are not given the help necessary. If they were, than there would be such a thing as those, operate of service to others. However, we as consciousness, trapped in our bodies, can only sustain the life force we have. We can also only choose our outward actions towards others, either with a sincere heart, or with malicious intent. I have never aligned myself with evil, and I know that is not something I will ever need to do.
I have read about the material stating, how there should be a balance, between light and dark. I think this may have been written with the intent to guise darkness from its evil state. True beings do not need to have any evil influence, true beings are tortured by evil unjustly, and they can only wish for something as fair as BALANCE.
Peace, Tracy

I disagree. Actions cannot possibly define an individual. It's like saying that if I choose to molest a child and violate his/her freewill, that single act would make me STS oriented.
No I did not say that Good/Evil exist. Sure, one can commit an act that would violate an individuals freewill, but what if an individual chooses that his/her freewill be violated? Would the being who complied with this request be 'evil' or 'STS', or would they be 'STO' and 'good'.. or just something else entirely?.. seeing as the former individual used his own freewill to make a conscieous decsion to have his/her freewill violated. Perhaps this is the excepection? Perhaps this is an impossible question?
If you don't want your freewill violated, then do something about it. Inventing some false faction to blame your own weaknesses on is simply a crutch.
