With all respect, I am not writing this to discredit your or anyone else's opinions. I am merely putting forth my own opinion. First, (IMO) there is
no black or white (nor any other colour) magick. There is only single force, and it is unknowable. There are both physical and psychological aspects
of this force which impatient consider to be magick. There is no magick in the sense of supernatural as there is no supernatural. Even God, if
there's one, is perfectly natural. But there are powers beyond our comprehension, but do not call it supernatural or you are misleading yourself.
Do not take this short comment as an attack against your beliefs. After all, there is no need of insulting in me, neither there should be reason for
getting hurt if you are certain about your claims.
It is just that (having tried to discover the "magick" for about three decades), it is bit disturbing to see people glorifying this "force" into
somekind of supernatural. I'd like to see people talking with clear expressions, not some mental conceptions that leads people to think incorrectly.
But again, who am I to say what to think?? It might just be that I am feeling like this because I failed to discover the "fantasy magick", casting
fireballs through fingertips and so on
I am not even sure why I typed all this, and I almost felt like deleting it, but I might as well post this.
I am not denying magick - I am merely pointing out that there is alternative interpretation for magick. Not necessarily those "quaranteed effect"
spells, but more delicate, psychological type. Remember, before you try to discover external magick, you need to discover the internal one. That is
basically told in phrase: "Know yourself, and you will know universe and it's gods.".
But to deny all I written above, I state that I don't know anything and I might just reconsider my "views" once someone walks through the wall and
says "hi!" to me
Take care, really!
