I'm choosing the negative path.

[Sacred Fool]

I'm just saying it's dark, not that it is unwell to be or without worth, just that it is as you name it yourself.

I think we already knew that.

You & I seem to be talking past one another.  You're saying that the two have different content and that they are experientially different.  I agree.  They are not identical.  You also have demonstrated a consistent bias towards seeing only the dark side of negative path and you seem reluctant to accept that both members of the polarity have equal parity and are simply complementary, as the yin-yang symbol so eloquently depicts. 

In addition, there are overlapping aspects.  For example, when King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table proposed a quest to find the Holy Grail, Sir Gawain insisted that they should each go alone and enter the forest where it is darkest and where there is no path.  There was a reason for this.


On the other hand, as sto entities are sometimes discomfited by the occasional dark night of the soul, I wonder if sts entities are discomfited by the occasional illumination of the spirit?
