is an empire negative or neutral a term?
Those in favor of empires may see it as a "good", needed, necessary, or beneficial thing. But it is a term that is wholly negative in the sense of being a model of reality built upon the service-to-self philosophy.
Ra describes the negative path as seeking control, manipulation, domination, subjugation, and enslavement of other selves, stealing their power for the increase of ones personal power. An empire is a system of this on a collective level, though with varying degrees of negativity.
It's definition here doesn't examine the concept in depth, but gives an idea:
