What is the aim of self deification ?
When you deify yourself, you cannot enjoy anything, because you would not have any qualities to to experience things because you would become the beyond any quality.
And God separates himself this way, this is what became
“For I am divided for love’s sake, for the chance of union.” The Book of Law
And, why should a person strive to came to same conclusion ? I mean, God will separate himself for coming into being, and it is what we already are.
I don’t see god as separate at all, god IS you, and me, and in all things, experiencing itself through us. I call it the Tao but it’s the same thing.
Self deification is only connecting consciously to realise you are god and omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent now. It is ascension to a higher state of consciousness and means being less separated from living, not more.
But this is not LHP. LHP only means “service to self”.
We have a lot of discussions about what LHP vs RHP is and is not, in the end you have to make up your own mind: I think it means being separated and feeling combative and alone, and in that sense I agree with you.
I challenge this and I don’t agree. More like, “I am divided for love’s sake for the chance of experience”. Reunion is only one form of experience, so this statement is limiting, and god is not limited, we are, again for the sake of experience.
No, in left hand path you create your own universe, you separate yourself from “one”. It is more true to call it “descension”. I have not a problem with it, but I want to know the point
I think that’s entirely up to you. LHP doesn’t have rules you must follow, there is no one true way. It’s not a religion. You must make your own point to suit. If you don’t like what other people say it is, change it.
LHP boils down to this:
“Do whatever the fuck you want to do.”
I don’t understand. I think magic is magic… There are all these labels & I don’t even know sometimes. It’s all magic & I think Lhp have different techniques of once again magic.
It’s very unique, it happens to get a bad rep because it sounds like everybody wants to kill other people haha, but honestly… Everybodys like a my little pony inside.
This sounds exactly like something my mum said. And my uncle too. Do you know anything about how to tap into that higher self? Is it as simple as just believing that you are that higher self or is it more complicated?
Imi, It’s not mental/emotional belief. It’s knowing beyond doubt you are already your higher self looking out through your eyes. There’s no difference, it’s not a separate thing, you are you.
Yes! The total embrace of isolate consciousness. The sacrifice of the self TO the self.
In the words of Thomas Karlson: the right hand path follows the stream forward to the ocean, while the left hand path follows the stream back to the source, making new streams and paths possible.
RHP disolves into Nirvana, while LHP creates its own Nirvana.
That’s seen from a RHP perspective. On the LHP the divine is not separated from the mundane world. It’s a rejection of dualism. It’s kinda like Nietzsche’s higher man/woman. Satanists specific who are on the LHP seeks to become gods of this world.
Much of the so-called LHP is based on Tantric practices. Tantra unlike the most of the other currents in “Hinduism” does not see the “mundane” as you put it as an illusion nor separate from the absolute, but part of the whole and just as worthy of worship and esteem.
I am going to add to what Kristian stated and say that the ancient religious traditions (Greek, Indian, Nordic, Roman etc.) were more concerned with the here and now than the “spiritual” aspects. The Upanishads in the Indian tradition for example is a compilation of rituals and commentaries about pleasing the gods for material prosperity through the fire ritual called the Yajna.
If you look at the Old Testament, “God” rewarded obedience not by a promise of transcendence nor a hereafter, but with progeny, and long life in the here and now.
