But that is something else entirely from everlasting life.

To me it is the same. To me it reflects what being born again is also saying. I see it is all about the elimination of self. It is merging with creation as a whole.

As at the time of death, the real and eternal self of man, his soul, abandons its physical garment to soar in the realms of God, we may compare the body to a vehicle which has been used for the journey through earthly life and no longer needed once the destination has been reached . . . I'd be glad to know everyone's idea on the subject.

I would be interested as to what scriptures have you read?
The Bible (many times), the Quran, the I Ching, Tao te Ching, the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine, the Tarot and astrology, Crowley's Book of The Law, the Kaballah a bit, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, others I will remember...

I really don't mean to sound so rude. I apologise. I just wish you would add an IMO now and again. I also feel you are not really interested in what others think, except as a vessel for your Baha'i teaching. The fact it involves so many words.

But I do apologize. You are free to post what you want. I will stand back and let others decide, comment, react, whatever. I do apologize for my abrasive tone. This website is mostly just a headache for me ...

We on the Western Left Hand Path prepare ourselves throughout our life so that when our physical self expires we can direct our isolate consciousness/psyche into the subjective universe we have prepared for ourselves to take the throne of.

That preparation for life after the physical death sounds very similar to what baha'is and most of the members of other religions do. That's interesting.

By the way, what is Western Left Hand Path? Had never even heard the name.

Most other religions are Right Hand Path religions. A Right Hand Path is a path of union with some kind of Universal Reality (God/Absolute/Supreme Being etc.). When this union is completed the individual self is annihilated, and the individual Will becomes one with that alleged Divine order.

To absolve oneself self into the Univeral Reality/Objective Universe is antithetic to the Western Left Hand Path goals of Individuation and Self-Deification.


When broken down into its core foundation. The Western Left Hand Path is an antinomian process of externalizing your True Self. The way it works is that we have this ability to experience our True Self, our Full Potential Being, this can be referred to as our GodSelf. It is the perfected you and is your Psyche/Soul/Greater Self. What is referred to as Apotheosis on the Western Left Hand Path does not entail 'becoming' a god per se, it entails realizing one's Greater Self, and bringing this Self into your everyday life in order to become more than Human.

We don't have Divine texts, Messianic heroes, dogma, or an exclusive claim to truth, we are not outdated, harmful to the individual, harmful to society, an impediment to the progress of science or humanity, a source of immoral acts, or customs, or a political tool for social control.

Still sound like Baha'i? ;)

Wow. That's wonderful and now as weird as it may sound, yes, it is even more similar to Baha'i now. Because in the baha'i we are taught that we cannot/won't unite with God; there are no unions as such. It is a process of self realization and discovering our potential plus reaching the presence of the Manifestation. We learn that "human being is a hidden mine of gems but lack of proper education has kept him away from what he has".
That was a very interesting info you shared with me. Thx a lot :)

My pleasure . . . but, just to be clear. We do not believe there is a Supreme Being/God/All :cool:

Ahhh ok I seeee :) now that's our difference. Still, I think we work towards "somehow" the same goal that is to "know thyself" :)
Interesting to know about your religion. Thank you.
