Had to look this stuff upāinteresting!Ā 1\. The "left hand path" and "right hand path" are terms used in Western esotericism to describe different approaches to occult practices.Ā Left Hand Path (LHP): Focus: Individualization, self-deification, rejecting dogma and conventions. Approach: Breaking taboos and abandoning set morality for personal gain or esoteric knowledge. Practices: Often associated with darker or destructive magic, and working with spirits, deities, or demons to achieve goals. Goal: To become a god oneself, achieving a divine level of power over one's life.Ā Right Hand Path (RHP): Focus: Adhering to ethical codes and social conventions, spiritual growth, and benefit of others. Approach: Following moral systems (e.g., "harm none"), practicing "white magic" for the good of others, and emphasizing community. Practices: Working with gods, angels, and other higher powers, often for healing and protection. Goal: Achieving "death of the ego" and unification with the divine, or a higher power. 2\. I think, if Iām not mistaken, this is about power. Magic or the occult is about empowering the self for oneās benefit. Iām a Christian so perhaps my perspective isnāt clear but it seems that magic comes from āDo what thou wilt,ā and stems from a self-centered desire for lifeās luxuries. Contrast that with prayer. Prayer is about power too but not my own. When I pray, I pray for Godās will to be done. Sometimes, that means I suffer. Sometimes, when I pray, I get what I want and itās destructive. I pray for courage and all of a sudden scary things happen. I pray for patience and then Iām overwhelmed with annoyances. Sometimes I pray and I donāt get what I want. Most of the time, I donāt get what I want and that leads to the death of my ego. Therefore, Iām gonna have to go with RHP.

I've tried to pay attention to how much of media pushes us to the left hand path.Ā The left hand path leads to conflict between EVERY man, woman, child, race, etc.Ā Advertising equals propaganda equals public relations equals the left hand path.Ā I dare say that today the left hand path is de rigueur.

much of the hubbub about war, politics, economy, race, religion, nation statism and so on is the result of the full frontal left hand assault.

This is an excellent synopsis of this pattern.Ā Thank you for sharing this with us.Ā I would have had to look it up myself, without the sensitive insights...greatly appreciated. If one were looking for 'balance' in all things patterns, then it might be wise to take the two fold path on this? A balance or blend of the two as we mature over time?Ā Ā One path may be more dominate at any one time, but having access to both would seem ideal. Your take on prayer is quite interesting to me.Ā Not sure that we agree on this, so it makes for an opportunity to see if we can synthesize the 'energies' involved and see if we can come up with something 'evolutionary'?Ā In no way diminishing your pattern for prayer, but I am curios if you would be willing to learn a new form of prayer? And then be willing to share that with others?Ā The invitation... The pattern of 'prayer' seems to be nearly universal, yet....and huge yet here....we don't seem to be able to do it very well...yes?Ā The results seem quite random....at best. However, what if there was (not were) a pattern that could help your health and energy levels...and have that be one ideal of prayer? It would be great to hear your take on this.Ā Again, most of the people I know are Christian, and I don't want to alienate anyone who might be open to the advances of new patterns...especially as it involves health. Again, thank you for sharing your insights with us....greatly appreciated.š Peace.

Do you mean the freudian ego?Ā The self?Ā Ā What do you think you'll get if you pray for the death of your ego instead of other things?
