[Aion]

The way that the Dark Lily Society explains it is that the ego is the part of you that cares what other people think, and therefore attaches to outcomes, creating effects in time/space that carry over into space/time. The disciplines of the personality which lead to intelligent infinity, above and beyond the physical.

So I agree with Aeon's definition of ego, with the qualification that changes in the personality/ego also lead to changes outside of the personality/ego, all being illusory. And I point this out because my own subconscious wants to tell me, "No, it will change the way you view the world, but not the world; you are not powerful", which is untrue, and I'm sure everyone starts out with those subconscious doubts.

I'm beginning to understand the importance of non-attachment. Jesus didn't just say to turn the other cheek because he's a whiny pacifist cunt (this being totally incidental), but because non-attachment to the situation relieves its power over you.

"This seeing elicits no response due to catalytic reactions. Thus the entity is now able to become co-Creator of experiential occurrences. This is the truer balance."

Eventually realized the folly of giving yourself to something that just wants to eat you.

Yeah, well, I think of it more like bobbing for magickal golden apples in a shark tank. It's dangerous, but well worth it if you survive. Even the gods were jealous of some of the Jotunn's knowledges, right? The Qliphoth leads to fractal lawlessness, which is infinitely more dangerous, but also infinitely more unlimited. There's a reason why this path is chosen over the slow, comfortable, happy, lawful path. It's not for everyone, but it has its moments.

Wide is the path, but narrow is the gate. I could never claim myself to be 'right handed' in that regard, but there is a difference between my understanding of the left hand and it's more publicized notions it seems.

Odhin discovered high wisdom through ascetic self-sacrifice, but in his attainment of the vision of Ragnarok he also doomed the Gods to death for his vision is both prophecy and fulfillment. For much gained, much will be lost.

Once you cross the gate, regardless of how you got there, it is the same 'unlimitedness'. Dangerous paths will get you there quicker, but they won't all get you there prepared to cross. The same is true for the gradual paths, they do not guaranteed your readiness.

I believe there are 'fast tracks' which do not require traumatization, but do require an immense amount of will. Of course, each will seek their own path and I presume ultimately every path will be chosen by someone.
