Food for Thought

My thirst to learn more about Ahriman and other Ahrimanic magickal techniques led me to

meet Brian Sharp and the others in his group. I have done all of this backwards. I hadmany conversations with Brian and attended two rites before I interviewed him, and I

interviewed him before I read the book. So I literally was a witness to what I can only

describe as miracles at the second rite before I got to read Brians book. It is hard to beobjective after that. But as Hunter S. Thomson said about objectivity, it is the reduction of

reality to its lowest common denominator.

I am first and foremost on a quest of discovery; my favorite food is food for thought.People chastise me because I make my own choices and live with the consequences. If you

know anything about me, you know I dont do what I am told, and people often

misunderstand me. But this is not about me, it is about the LHP, which really is about me

and you and each of us. Not as a nameless, faceless, indiscernible mass, but as anassociation of individuals thinking and working outside of societys little box, with goals

which seem so bizarre to the people who have bought into the Consensus Reality white-washed and tainted with the RHP philosophy. I am not the only one here breaking taboos

that push the envelope of what we are told is safe and sane.

I am reminded of a geometry model from a book I read. It was Geometry, Relativity and

the Fourth Dimension. Yes, I am nerding out here, but bear with me; this is a paradigm

that relates to those of us on the Left Hand Path. I will keep it simple; it described a two-

dimensional entity whos behavior seemed strange to the other flatlanders when he realizeda kind of knowledge that the ordinary flatlanders did not know about and could not

perceive. He had become aware of three-dimensional space and all that it implies. I amsure there is a YouTube video all about it. What my point is, is that what we are doingseems strange because we indeed possess a special knowledge that most people will never

see, so we will always seem strange to ordinary people.

The difference is we see beauty in diversity and individuality. Our acceptance of each

other is not an agreement of ideas, but the understanding that we are all striving for our

own personal excellence. Indeed, conflicts arise, but the Left Hand Path embraces conflict

as an opportunity for growth, where whoever is left standing has learned something.

Unfortunately, the greatest source of conflict that I see is indeed the taint of Right Hand

Path paradigms and philosophies. The problem lies in behavioral conditioning; notknowing how to be truly free, like an ex-slave recreating the chains that once bound him

and calling them something else.

The books by Michael W. Ford initially introduced me to Ahriman in a very personal and

profound way. Before that, I was always annoyed by Zoroastrianism because I was mad

about the duality thing. I tend to think of duality as essential polarity, like negative and

positive charges in an electromagnetic field; there is no electromagnetism without both

charges. The thing that really tipped the scale for me nearly twenty years ago is that the

Right Hand Path is all about indulging the good side to a sickening degree and barely

tolerating the dark. How was I to develop and become my true potential if I was neverpermitted to fully explore and express both? There is no personal field of power without

both charges.

That being said, I have learned much and now possess an understanding that I never

thought possible. Now, I hope you are following what I am saying, because honestly there

are not many people who can understand what I am saying once I get going. The bottomline is this: There is no substitute for thinking for yourself. Not the cult of personality, not

any motto and not any god. That is what the Left Hand Path means to me: Thinking for

oneself.
