The theory is that LBM can inhance GBM workings, such as using symbols and ritual chambers in the excersise of Greater Black Magical workings. I have found this to be true. But can GBM be used to enhance one's LBM workings or techniques
Lesser Black Magical workings are about minor alterations in viewpoints or outcomes of events in one's life, and is used in influencing the minds of others (the moral or ethical use of this technique is open for debate). Religions, political parties, and/or human movements use LBM all the time.
I think we agree pretty much on what kind of uses LBM has, and some of the techniques used in LBM operations. My own personal definition of Black Magic in general is the manipulation of Power, which is not actually about influencing "minds" -- or emotions as we might undertand them in these days of the science of Psychology. Power does not seek permission from ethical standards or morality, in my view. Power cannot be faked. A powerful person is recognized as such not only by associates who might stand to benefit by their association, but even by detractors who might hate the powerful person, and what they represent, down to the very core of their beings.
Someone who can successfully touch power, borrow power, or create power for themselves, by means of LBM would need to use some of the same techniques on themselves in GBM operations, I think.
Greater Black Magic is about changing the structures of both the objective and subjective universes, and changing the structures of the soul or psyche itself for a greater ability to affect, enjoy, and understand all things within and without.

What I would call GBM does not have much in common with yours, as I am sure you know. Philosophy and New Agey introspection are good things, but do not require the efforts of magic.
