Subject: The Left-Hand Path
by Kevin C. Phantom
_________________________________________________________________
Being a Black Magician, I feel it nesasary to define the
difference
between a Right-Hand Path religion and a Left-Hand Path religion.
I will begin by explaining the goals of the RHP. The RHP is
concerned
with submiting ones self, psyche,or soul to the will of the
Universe or to nature or to a god or whatever. They belive that
by
submiting ones self to the will of a higher being or force that
they
will ultimatly achive a "NIRVANA" or "heaven" like state of
being.
Most practitioners of the RHP feel themselves to be inferior to
the
forces of nature, and most are correct in this assumption, so it
is
that they find that following the RHP is a lot less difficult
than
following the LHP. Today there are many religions that belive in
complete submission to a higher being or god-like creature. Among
these
is Judaism(the very definition means submission) Christianity,
Budhism,
Wicca, Hindu etc... The fact is that most people are and will
continue
to travel along the RHP whether or not they conciously
acknowledge it.
The Left-Hand Path is based on individuating ones self against
the
Universe. We belive in the strengh of our own isolsolae Will to
create
change in the objective universe. We look at ourselves as
seperate and
independant entities apart from the objective universe.
We see no need for sumission and shun terms such as equality. I
find it
degrading to say to two different individuals that they are
exactly
the same.The Left-Hand Path promotes a rational enjoyment of life
and becoming all that one is capable of becoming and beyond. For
limits
were meant to be trancended. We belive in strength, pride and all
of the
things that the RHP considers to be "corrupt" or "evil". In
short, the
LHP is far more difficult to travel than that of the RHP.
Both paths are being practiced conciously in the universe. You
will have
to decide which path your goals falls into. In this as in all
things,
the choice is yours.
