The Right Hand Path

The true Right Hand Path is what the angels follow, not the Abrahamic religions; it is a Path which strongly values lawfulness, virtues, mercy, and temperance. The angels follow the supreme deity, The Source, who is vast and formless, beyond all existence. They also greatly honour Ptah, the creator of this universe and the Queen of Heaven, the supreme mother-goddess of this universe. As for The Source, the angels obey this supreme being without question and honour them always. The angels do not tend to ask questions about their orders, and do not have much ambition or ego; they live to serve the Divine Plan. This, however, is what caused them to have a crisis when Jehovah pretended to be The Source, and began giving corrupted orders, aiming to destroy the ancient civilizations and bring his own plan to the world. Even though these orders were destructive, most of the angels obeyed, since they were fully obedient. Those who didn't obey became demons- the rebels.  Followers of the Right Hand Path uphold the values of mercy, compassion, nobility, truth, and order. They have many similarities with Buddhism, and worship beings such as the angels, Queen of Heaven, the Logos, and The Source. Some followers may even wish to worship beings such as Quan Yin, the merciful bodhisattva who loves all mankind. The ultimate goal of the Right Hand Path is to undergo the ego death, where the individual loses their personal identity and seeks union with the supreme deity- The Source. To do this, they do what they can to discipline themselves in temperance, meditation, prayer, good deeds, valour, humility, compassion, angelic wisdom, acceptance, and selflessness. They seek knowledge to a degree, and may use some forms of magick (especially for healing), but they ultimately choose to obey the will of the One, and don't deviate from the divine plan. Because of this, they don't try to change much in the world, and if they want something major changed, they will often ask for guidance and permission from The Source first. Though overall, they value honourable deeds, selfless service to mankind, and upholding the peace. A lack of ambition, attachments, and passions/indulgences are present among these individuals, as they do not seek to empower themselves but only to uphold the divine plan, as well as the light of truth. Their self-control can be severe, as they often try to live very humbly and to serve their idea of the greater good.  This Path is different form the Abrahamic religions in that it does not support obsession with “purity”, hypocritical behaviours, superiority complexes, and the many false teachings of the Abrahamic scriptures that were used to perpetuate genocides and manipulate countless millions into submission. The true Right Hand Path followers seek to become enlightened enough in life, so that when they die, they may have the opportunity to be merged into The Source, to be part of them forever. When this happens, it's like becoming a cell for a greater being, eternally floating through their vast form of Light. This is good for those who seek to be united with the One and nothing more, but it is bad for those who wish to evolve themselves and have their own destiny beyond death.  The typical moral alignment of people on this path is either lawful good or neutral good. You can still honour other deities and beings if you wish, and seek additional guidance from them.

The Middle Path

The Middle Path's purpose is mostly happiness and justice on earth, for the maximum amount of people. For this reason, it was the most common Path before Abrahamists took over by force. The majority of pagan deities follow this Path, but some exceptions follow the Left Hand Path instead (without becoming demons). In the far ancient past, before written history, it was the dragons who taught the Middle Path to humans, helping them to grow and have an ideal Path in order to be spiritual and a normal person at the same time. The closest religion to these teachings is currently Taoism. The Middle Path focuses strongly on natural cycles and on Balance. Hermeticism also flourishes optimally on the Middle Path. But if a person wants something beyond the “here” and seek higher understanding, they only point to the cycle of reincarnations and karma. If someone evolves far enough, they will eventually have to choose a different Path, to either go Right or Left. The Right leads towards becoming merged into the supreme deity (The Source) and the Left leads towards self-transformation, becoming your own empowered being upon death. The Dragons preside over this path, and they direct the energy of “Heaven” to the “Earth”, forming the Duranki pillars. These Dragons ponder, combine, transmit, and teach these principles to various worlds, including Earth. Sages of the Middle Path receive teachings from the Dragons, and they channel these energies to assist the people on Earth, emphasizing Balance in all things, moral values, and the optimal way to govern a human society, allowing happiness, prosperity, and justice. They combine Severity and Mercy, and favour structure instead of chaos, but they are also open to progress in all things, and keen to promote new avenues of art and Knowledge (both esoteric and material). They promote the attitude of temperance and preservation of knowledge in libraries, and they excel in Alchemy, Botany, and Herbs, as well as Oracles (seeing stones, runes, all types of divination). To gain their difficult and precious Balance, they borrow from the Left and the Right; magick and acceptance, respectively. Individuals of the Middle Path value their self-control, but do not go as far as the Right Hand Path, as the Middle Path allows people to live comfortably to a healthy degree. For example, the Right Hand Path is often against material attachments and sexuality, whereas the Middle Path supports these things since they can be healthy for a happy human life. Too much attachment, however, is encouraged against; there must be Balance. Self-mastery is important, and there will be challenges in order to achieve this, but they are not as severe as the challenges of the Left Hand Path. The Middle Path also teaches an individual to not fight with passions, as they must remain serene in judgement even during conflict. Therefore, the Middle Path combines some elements from both Right and Left, to help humans learn and grow in union with nature. These individuals often try to seek lessons from their past lives, and embrace the cycle of reincarnation, rather than trying to escape it. They enjoy living in peace with nature and living in honourable ways, supporting justice and harmony. The Middle Path promotes the Aristotelian virtues, teachings and parables, Hermetic and Taoist philosophy, the Arts, mathematics, and being in balance with Nature and its cycles. Transcendence cannot be achieved while on the Path, because it focuses on this world and on harmony with it. However, it allows for those few who are no longer satisfied and who are also sufficiently evolved, to make the final leap, either to the Left or to the Right. Only the Void of Emptiness remains before them, and they make their final choice then. The dangers of the Middle Path are very few, that’s why it is the finest path to follow for beginners and intermediate students of the esoteric. Later on, if someone obsesses over their principles, they are in danger of oversimplifying certain patterns; or becoming a bit narrow-minded with regards to the goal of spirituality, thinking that it is solely to preserve a balanced lifestyle and a healthy connection to the world. Whereas these things are important, one should not be limited in their perspectives, otherwise progress will only continue on mundane and philosophical things, but never on esoteric or transformational breakthroughs.
