So, I recently joined a forum and made an introduction, and shared that I'm interested in LHP. There was a response from someone who basically told me to ''stay away from the LHP'', unless I have ''years of magic.'' And then stated ''heed the warning.''
Is this just one interpretation of the LHP? What do you make of it?
My understanding of ''black magic'' isn't the same as what I think he was referring to. I'm not interested in learning or performing magic, to be honest.
When someone warns you of black magic, or other actions you shouldn't do - I think they're almost begging you to do it in your flirtations with the LHP.
Three ways to look at it -
1) It is a psychodrama or cathartic process, thus removing psychological obstacles in your way.
2) It is the process of aligning your subjective world with the real world, thereby getting what you want.
3) Energy/Theurgic process, you tap into the "forces" you desire and use them to get what you want.
In reality, an individual may use any or all of these processes at the same time. I think at the moment you think any of that is "dangerous" you have no business telling anyone anything about the LHP. It's not the belief in magic that is the sticker, it's allowing the irrational fear of it to limit you that makes one a hypocrite.
Someone truly walking the path must not be afraid of anything under the sun whether they be the actual demons, or the demons of their mind. The person you met used to be referred to as a "charlatan". They are not on the path but happy to try to lead others to ruin for their own amusement, or profit. That doesn't mean you have to "do magic" to be working along the lines of the LHP, but rather you should know why you do or why you don't.
