Yes, that's the gist of it.
Just as thoughts are meaningless unless supported by action, actions are meaningless unless supported by thought; although, I'm not sure if 'meaningless' is the best word to use here but, it certainly gets the point across... perhaps it is.
Thought without action =...
I understand what you are saying; I've thought about it myself. Allow me to clarify my position.
In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) there are two parts: the cognitive part (changing thinking patterns - beliefs, predictions, & interpretations) and the behavioral part (exposure). In CBT you...
Mindmaster,
I understand and I agree with you. Science requires interpretation and those interpretations can be wrong.
And Crossfire,
I also agree with you; the LHP requires mental emancipation. And I think everyone agrees with that assessment; I don't think there's any argument there. But I...

Colloquially, I'd say it takes you from immaturity to maturity. And this process of maturing is an endless one (and difficult!).
Everyone is born into the right hand path...
Hello All,
I am in no sense an expert, only an interested individual. I've read "Lords of the Left Hand Path", "Demons of the Flesh", "Uncle Setnakt's Essential Guide to the Left Hand Path", "Mysteries of the Temple of Set", All of LaVey's books, A bunch of other works by Stephen Flowers, I've...
