This question came about today because some of the members here have spoken about how morals are relative. Some hold deeply to their religion, some aren't very religious but are very moral, some like the dark side of everything and seek it out, and some (like myself) tend to be on the amoral side. But what really inspired me to make this poll was that some hold the view that certain morals are strict while others are relative. For example, one person said that murder, lust, and greed are all fixed wrong behavior in addition to any personal views on sin, and if you perform the said sinful actions, that it can screw with your magick and color your karma.

Lust was listed as a "fixed" sin, but personally, I don't find anything wrong with it. And I'm not a perv or sleezy guy at all or anything like that, rather, I truly believe that there is nothing wrong with carnal lust and acting on it. I can droningly say with my mouth "lust is wrong," but I don't truly feel this. I wonder what other sins people here feel is or is not "wrong" in the stereotypical sense.

This poll is in the stereotypical sense, not the kind in moderation. When I say Envy, I mean "gotta have this," almost willing to steal kind of coveting. When I say wrath, I mean bordering on murder. When I say greed, I mean not even giving a nickle to a beggar. Also, when I say indulge, I mean you are tempted and go out of your way to perform said deed.

Also, please refrain from voting "None. I have achieved Dark Enlightenment." when you have also voted for for one or more of the other options. It shows you didn't put any thought into it and just went clicking away. I put that option there in case there was someone that DID NOT have ANY problems with ANY of the sins. The same goes for the "I wish there were more deadlies to indulge!"

When you clarify in the above - that the poll is in the stereotypical sense - then I have to say that they're all sins. But, I hate the word sin, maybe just because was raised on a diet of "Sinners will burn in eternal hellfire!" and koolaid.

However, in any kind of extreme sense, they all impact the movement of energy around you, often in negative ways, or are results of deficiencies of one kind or another that are typically on the harmful side. I don't think that, for instance, an extreme version of Lust is particularly immoral, however, it is typically an indication of a (possibly temporarily) weakened energy system seeking to obtain energy (gratification) from someone/something else.

Whether 'immoral' behavior will impact your magick is hard to say. I think that magick is most effective when you have a balanced and self-sufficient energy system, and that state of energy is conducive towards a particular lack of these feelings in any extreme sense, and many of them not at all.

peace
