I've walked the dark path in the past, and have interviewed many other highly crystallized dark adepts, and I assure you the principles utilized in meditation are basically the same. The goal is inner silence. This is a platform for the generation of discipline, awareness and the reification of those energy currents one has chosen to adorn themselves with. Visualization and the projection of will are done in the same way, too, with only the desired result being different. Indeed, when you consider the practices of the adept about 80% of it is exactly the same on both sides, because the mechanics of consciousness are the same regardless of your intent. The gateway to Intelligent Infinity is blind to the polarity of those who access it. The differences are largely aesthetic in nature, and, having been involved in both extremely positive and extremely negative practicing groups over the course of my life, it is humorous to watch them vilify each other while engaging in what amounts to the same basic practices.
** I would also note that most of the more public "Left Hand Path Orders" one may easily research and join are actually very mixed in their polarity, and many of the bizarre and somewhat silly practices that emerge from them are not indicative of what you would see in a functional negative order.
