This discussion regarding the left or the right intrigued me. There
are many shades of gray regarding the "right" path, relatively
speaking.
Who's to say that the right-handed path is not really the left-handed
path or vice-versa?
What is your reasoning for saying that the left-handed path is a
valid path if it leads to a more delusional state of mind? Isn't
that the path of insanity?
How is it that the right-handed path can lead to confusion? Perhaps,
those who are in confusion on the right-handed path are really on the
left-handed path. A sure-footed fanatic who thinks he is on the
right-handed path may not be where he thinks he is at.
I would like to know what you think of my questions.
