As you know Abstikron,
I would not agree with this. In my understanding, the left hand path is known in most of the eastern cultures as the divine Feminine path of seeking the Goddess within.
I think the modern usage of it as selfserving has resulted in the modern occult followings saying that they follow the left hand path and they do so inappropriately and in defiance and ignorance of ancient teachings. the left hand path would have as its goal the sacrifice of self in order to achieve transcendence from the physical.
Just my thoughts and opinions, not preaching any particular religion.

But so what? You made one decision and you drew one archetype into your experience. You made a different decision and you drew a different archetype into your experience. Why the emphasis on "success" or "failure"? It's just another manifestation of duality.Trying something different, that is what really counts!
Tenet is right in my opinion. this existence is designed around duality, and because of that all efforts and experiences within it are ones of trying to avoid going to the extremes of any one opposite.
I think that success would be achieving a direction that would lean toward beneficial evolution, as opposed to incarnations that either slowly achieve or do not seem to learn lessons at all.
But in a universe of natural duality how can one claim success without stating that they somehow altered the universe into a state where it is no longer one of duality?
