[Rules] [FAQ] [Fringe Guide] [Ranks] [/fringe/] [/asatru/] [/edgy/] [/4chon/] [/lel/] [/ask/]
RIP freedomboard.kirara.ca.
SERIOUSLY GUYS STOP BREAKING RULE 2
The rules are simple and only apply to the creation of threads on /fringe/: 1. Don't make duplicate threads of topics that already exist unless the previous thread has hit the bump limit. 2. Don't make threads just to ask questions, actually present substantial information if you're going to make a thread. 3. Don't make a thread purely to shitpost (you will be forgiven if it's a major GET), just shitpost / loosh farm inside of threads that already exist. 4. Post threads that fall under the subject matter of /fringe/ (creepypasta FYI generally does not fall under /fringe/'s very broad subject matter, look at the sticky to see what subjects we discuss on /fringe/)

I'd like to share my opinions/advice that I've formed over the years of browsing /fringe/(from 2013 bb), and of course doing my own research on "Esoteric Wizardry," magic, or whatever you may call it.

Concerning the left-hand and right-hand paths when you strip away the crap they boil down to:

Right-hand path:

>forfeiting life/servitude

>dismissal of responsibility(someone makes the rules for you)

>Using the physical plane as a conduit to grasp for the spiritual

>may acknowledge reincarnation; seeks to avoid it

Left-hand path:

>Taking hold of life, and embodying the ego

>Acceptance of ultimate responsibility(becoming god)

>using the spiritual plane to empower yourself upon the material plane.

>acknowledges reincarnation; seeks to focus on now

This is what I understand to be true.

Know that we are of the material plane I can't understand why those of the Right-hand path seek to separate themselves from it.

I'm 'John Doe.' Sure, when I die 'John Doe' will be gone eternally, but the essence of spirit, or soul, not carrying his persona luggage will continue on.

If we are of the material then why not embrace it? If we die when our essence leaves then separation is surely true, and while all is one the opposite is also true because that means our Spirit/Higher Self have a different motivation then our ego('John Doe.')

Buddhists appear to be some sort of contradiction where they reject their earthly life, but their spirit that they call to wills them to keep reincarnating.

So why not embrace the earth when you're alive, and the embrace the heavens when you are dead instead of rejecting both sides?

You've "discovered" something anyone with half a brain cell already knew. Since 2013. Congratulations.

I almost feel sorry for you.

Thanks anon

Is nice to see this

I kinda know it but you put it in word's

Like the matrix, if I understand right, the matrix is a collaborative collective though form that is compose by all our toughs, culture, and personality.

I want to hacked it to make it serves me instead of serving it .but to hack something you need to understand it fully and is kinda huge to grasp .

Also how to walk the middle path?

I'm guessing you can't go the full way of feeling sorry for me because you have nothing to share yourself. Please, teach me.

More than inflating my e-peen I would of also liked a little bit of discussion.

Wanting to attain nirvana is understandable, but paranirvana seems extreme.

I'm inclined to believe most people do walk the middle path. Most people don't fast and aren't celibate(these practices do have some benefits though.) They don't punish themselves for being material.

An example going the opposite way would be getting involved with hard drugs often, which not many people do.

The middle path is the common path.

I don't think this means though that the left-hand path is over indulgence, and that the right-hand path is self-mortification.

They appear to be related, but as far as I understand are different concepts.

So there is diferent grades of Nirvana?

Cool I would like to get that but from the lowest and step by step

Becose I know drugs I know alter states or the mind can be adictive so I tink Nirvana may be like that and I don't want to fall in a trap , like the heroine addicts they talk about their trips in terms of meting God and the like I am afraid (I know I shouldn't becose what you are afraid you call it) that the experience became so Good that I don't want to be involved in the world anymore, I know eventually the divine will call us and we will either ascend or die but I don't want to rush that, I want to do it slow and steady and have material pleasures first sex , drugs ,food then in old age when everything lost his apea,l ascended and take it from there, no hurry at all.

I belive that with all the information that we have now a day the middle path is common, but in past times because the lack of information right or left were more transit

>paranirvana seems extreme

Upon attainment of a nirvana state, you can choose to be reborn as a boddhisattva instead of exiting into parinirvana. Upon death, if you don't wish to limit yourself into the apparent form of the singular entity that a boddhisattva is, you may choose to merge with the very aspect of compassion/wisdom itself for the benefit of sentient beings.

>I'm inclined to believe most people do walk the middle path

Correct. Virtuous people pursue the golden mean whether they realize it or not.

>I know alter states or the mind can be adictive so I tink Nirvana may be like that and I don't want to fall in a trap

Nirvana cannot be addictive because it is the end of desire.
