You can think of synchronicities as important intuitions trying to come through.

If you are getting repeating themes, pay attention to them. The unconscious mind is much more intelligent than the conscious mind, and the answer to something you've been contemplating might be trying to come through from the unconscious mind to the conscious mind. Be prepared for a *doh* moment.

Crowley obviously considered it to be RHP, and is the one who set the criteria for it.

Nihilistic solipsism? Someone might find a way to make that work. It's not my cup of tea.

Did you miss post #76? :confused:

One more thing concerning Buddhism and the LHP: I'm going to copy and paste a very short sutta called Sabba Sutta: The All "Monks, I will teach you the All. Listen & pay close attention. I will speak." "As you say, lord," the monks responded. The Blessed One said, "What is the All? Simply...

As far as I can discern, Buddhism checks all of the LHP boxes. Buddha himself started out as a LHP sadhu, practicing austerities, meditating over corpses, and the like, and became even more proficient with the practices than his teachers. It wasn't until Buddha started breaking the "rules"...

Separation of the subjective from the objective. (Delusion is mistaking subjectively derived content for objective reality.)

Well, we strive to transcend "nature," if that answers your question. Each individual will assign whatever meaning to "nature" according to their own understanding, so you won't get a clear-cut answer among individual practitioners.

I'm saying that I don't necessarily agree with your original premise, and was asking if it is indeed wise to hold such a premise. (Since your original question was about wisdom in regard to the premise.)

You can trust me that that is the gist of Samkhya or you can check it out for yourself. :) In this case, which came first? The assumption or the analogy? Did the flea on the back of the dog give rise to "Eureka! everything is dependent upon Spirit!"

This would be not losing one's ego (reality principle) to superego's perfecting principle or id's pleasure principle. One is maintaining one's own individual mind here. (Which would be a goal of Western LHP)

That's not Buddhist. Samkhya is one of the Astika schools of Hinduism. (Buddhism is considered Nastika by Hindus) Is it wise to make such assumptions that would then lead to such possibly erroneous models?

Would that would be Samkhya's purusa and prakrti?
