Well . . . lets start this new forum off with an obvious. What do people consider to be Left Hand Path?
Of course, this question isn't intending or expecting everyone (or anyone) to agree on a definition . . . or even to be a thread building to a consensus. Only as a way of describing the varieties of the concept - LHP
I'm personally not so fond of the Blavaskian use of LHP as describing a state of immorality (spiritually), nor do I find Crowley's idea that is the failed adept acceptable.
For me, in a very general . . . its the process of developing the self (spiritually and materially) rather then sacrificing or dissolving the self. Being fully and singly responsible for oneself and ones actions. Being entitled to everything one can be (materially and spiritually) And that the world around each of us (phenomonally and spiritually) is designed for personal integration and application. Many aspects of the above are best presented and developed through acts of Love, alturism and compassion. As well, all require self-confidence, a distinct level of self-worth, and a strongly developing self-knowledge.
anyway . . . others thoughts . . ?
