The Left and Right Hand Paths with James Tunney (4K Reboot)
New Thinking AllowedAug 24, 2026
Barrister, poet and mystic James Tunney joins Jeffrey Mishlove to unpack the esoteric distinction between the 'right-hand path' of submission and tradition and the 'left-hand path' of antinomian, ego-centered self-deification. Tunney argues that the left-hand path's extreme leads to black magic, elitist contempt for 'the herd,' and ultimately transhumanism, while the right-hand path risks rigid repression. He makes the case for a zigzagging middle path, drawing on figures from Mary Shelley and Coleridge to Gurdjieff, Krishnamurti and Bruce Lee, and insists that malevolent spiritual entities are real.
