Yeah this was my general impression too, I didn't know about the left hand right hand path stuff though. Interesting stuff, kinda reminds me of the distinction Evola talks about for the fully initiated Templars in Mystery of the Grail. He says they would have to insult the cross, deny jesus was a prophet but rather was an ordinary man who died because of his mistakes etc. These seem very 'left hand path' for a Christian Order.

The section I'm referring to is page 127 in that book by the way. I haven't read that whole book too, only that particular chapter because I was curious about Templar-Assassin relations.

That's the way I understood that part as well. With the normal way of looking at things shattered, the Templar initiate is forced to radically reinterpret the meaning of his efforts and spiritual growth.
