Quote:Tan.rar :
Power, self-control, dominance in life. The negative path isn't about pleasing the self, it's about perfecting the self, it's about rising to the top. It's about becoming the Creator exclusively, without others. In that, the negative enjoys much wisdom, cleverness and influence.
At the expense of others – the element through which it qualifies as the «negative» path.
Quote:Lighthead :
How is there competition on the positive path? I can see it on a distorted positive path. Maybe that's what you're referring to.
Tan.rar :
In negative, competition is always for the empowerment of one. In positive, it is for both or many.
My understanding is :
«negative» ''completion is achieved at the others expense. «positive» completion is arrived at one's own personal expense which benefits ALL.
What I personally misunderstand is how the «negative» path equally benefits ALL... in the whole picture. I resist the explanation that it is ''called'' for and desired. It is not logical that anyone ''desires'' the consequences of negative behaviour.

The experience of the ''negative'' path is a tool for learning, that is the only validity I can ascribe to it, it's sole purpose in the bigger picture.
