So I recently was confronted by some one who was hesitant on the left hand path because of being raised in a christian family, and even after much reconciliation still pushed back on any practice concerning the left handed path.
They viewed it as not beneficial, evil, abnormal, and even to the extent of damming (ie; christian hell and all that).
Rather than fire back with a mirror, as I love to do with right hand path practitioners concerning their moral self righteousness, I offered a different approach which I will share with you now.
His argument was that if you look at basic biology, the fundamentals of life, even DNA, you will find bias like this. That the Sun only manufactures right handed Glucose, that the majority of life is right handed, that (and the list went grueling long) yada, yada, blah blah blah continue for two hours.
Then I asked if he new about left handed DNA. Very shocked and argumentative, this person doubted my scientific inquirey, so I offered the advice on Z-DNA or “left handed” DNA.
You see DNA usually follows a set of rules. It has a double helix, it has 10 base pairs every turn, and almost always when spiraling away from you, is right handed, or turns in a clockwise fashion. This is known as the “B” form and will usually be what you see presented when viewing anything concerning visuals of DNA.
However there is another form of the helix. A rare form of helix. A “left handed” helix.
Yes you heard that right… Left handed helix DNA. It’s actually a scientific fact.
Instead of 10 base pairs per turn, it has 12.
It is high in salt content.
It is called Z because its bases don’t perfectly follow a perpendicular line as in “normal” or “B” DNA.
They instead follow a “crooked” path
“So as you see my friend” I responded, “Not everything in life is right handed and this left handedness serves very important purposes.” I then continued, “allow me to self create a spiritual proverb tying the left hand path to nature”…
Z-DNA often forms near promoters or actively transcribed DNA
(left hand path magicians promoting new culture or philosophy)
Z-DNA absorbs torsional strain for normal DNA, allowing stabilization
(Left hand path magicians serving as scapegoats in culture war or society)
Z-DNA often functions in immune response, RNA editing, and antiviral defense.
(many left hand path magicians become left hand path magicians due to life traumas, injustices, or as a form of protest when mainstream beliefs create injustices, aka viruses in the system)
Z-DNA creates new mutations and genomic expression
(this one I feel speaks for itself, similar to going against the grain or none conforming)
So I know this was a rant, but for anyone hesitant about the Left hand path or looking for some form of meaning, I thought it would be a cool post to draw a correlation for its necessity as seen in nature regardless of how “unrelated” it may appear
Much love
