The Left Hand Path

This book aims to achieve two goals. The first of them, the exoteric goal, is directed to persons who are not on the left hand path themselves but who rationally want to consider what the path is all about. These persons may be parents, teachers, students, authorities, scholars, journalists, or friends or otherwise close persons to those who are on the left hand path. The second goal, the esoteric one, is directed to persons who have a certain kind of need to live on the left hand path. They also have a rational approach towards the path, but because of the intimate relationship to it this approach can be more precisely described as a suprarational one. For these individuals this book seeks to provide a certain kind of metaphysical compass and map of the universe for a journey to its greatest mystery, our own consciousness, the psyche. Whether the orientation of a reader is exoteric or esoteric one, I have aimed to make the book well informed, based on first hand sources and my own experiences, and to give an emphatic view of the left hand path.
