Grant advocated for balancing light and dark forces, believing that engaging with qlippothic energies can lead to significant spiritual growth. He often linked the qlippoth to [[sex magic]]and Tantric practices, suggesting these could harness primal energies for transformation. Additionally, Grant suggested that [[H. P.
