    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    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 =...

    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    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...

    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    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...

    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    Mindmaster, Your take on the LHP & RHP is refreshing because it is different than my own; however, I'm having problems with it. Homogeneous divine conceptions shared via groups, Divine law, & Divine retribution - and the scientific method meets this criteria; the scientific method being...

    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    Sorry, Crossfire. Could you tell me specifically where you see me allowing the LHP be defined by the RHP here. I'm really curious and you might be on to something. So if you can walk me through it I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    Adramelek, I really appreciate your post. It is very relevant to my curiosity and offered clarity - please forgive me for not being satisfied and feeling the need to dig deeper. "Awareness of Self and effort of Will are the hallmarks of the Left Hand Pather." I completely agree but, I need to...

    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    I appreciate y'all contributing to my thread. I have a question pertaining to a little thought experiment but, I suppose before I get to that, I need to ask some preliminary questions first. Is consciousness (or awareness) a prerequisite for the left hand path? My answer to this question is...

    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    Sorry, I'm not after 'enlightenment.' I just want to discuss the left hand path without the usual jargon.

    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    The left hand path - where does it lead, and from where did it take you from? Does it have an end or is it an endless path? 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...

    Challenge: Describe what the Left-Hand Path is in Colloquial Language!

    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...
