>No ones even arguing, there’s no political element and all aspects of modern esotericism study and integrate Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, eliphas levi, Freud and so forth in terms of theories on will, Eros, Thanatos and so forth and others for our symbolic analysis of desire and other such.
I sorta missed that gem of a comment.

What the fuck are you talking about? Theosophy is, by it's very nature, an expression of unconscious processes and contents through an alignment with faculties of the psyche which confer communicative union with the transcendental function.

Are you sincerely claiming that the political left and right have nothing to do with the left and right hand "path"

I would disagree. From my experience it's an inability to control consciously the faculty which identifies meaning in the world. We have a mechanism in our brains which ascribes phenomena meaning and significance based on associations made unconsciously, and in schizophrenics this mechanism appears damaged or maladjusted and incapable of differentiating probabilistic possibilities.

For example, you hear your name in a television show and it provides an instant of fascination which quickly fades to a suppression of the manifested associations, i.e, it means nothing to you very rapidly.

A schizophrenic hears their name on the television and the unconscious throws up all sorts of identical associations, but the schizophrenic cannot consciously control or suppress into irrelevancy the associated feeling toned ideas. There is an activation of complexes and no way to assuage the mind of their significance - all manner of theories populate the field of ego-consciousness to rationalize the images and feelings erupting from the unconscious, i.e, their name on the television is of indeterminate or subjectively powerful significance.

You can't understand people unless you are interested in extracting wisdom from them. You may as well turn your scientific faculties towards literally anything else and you will produce far more useful insights.

>Alternative methods of abstraction.
There are only two faculties capable of abstraction in the human psyche: thought and feeling.

So, I'm inferring an avocation for feeling based abstraction? To what end?
