<big>Magies blanche et noire et magiciens (''leçon 125'')</big> | |||
=== en cours de traduction === | |||
You ask me to tell you "to whom or to what I refer in making use of | |||
the terms White and Black Magic." In contradistinction to the terra "white | |||
magician" the terra "black magician" is now applied to any devotee of the | |||
negative or evil principle of life, and as prefixes, the terms white and black | |||
are so applied because of the difficulty experienced in finding words in the | |||
English language that will exactly interpret Sanscrit terms generally used | |||
to designate interior orders of life. For instance, the terms "Arhat and | |||
Dugpa," indicative of the embodied spiritual intelligences of two degrees | |||
of life have been for long centuries unknown, misunderstood and | |||
misrepresented or repudiated by narrow sectarian devotees of orthodox | |||
forms of religion. | |||
The word "magic," from the root "magi," bas been used for ages in the | |||
far East to denote a sacred science which is inseparable from religion. | |||
An Arhat is one of a very high and powerful order of intelligences | |||
comparable to one order of the Archangels referred to in Biblical lore. | |||
A Dugpa is one of a correspondingly powerful order of intelligences, | |||
who uses his power for selfish purposes, even to the debasement of his | |||
fellow creatures. | |||
During one definite period of time, the middle of a Maha Yuga or | |||
great age, a Dugpa might exert as much or even more power over lesser | |||
orders of life than the Arhat, but the power of the Dugpa is continually | |||
waning, from that period to the end of the age, while that of the Arhat is | |||
increasing. | |||
From the description given by some writers, a Dugpa and a devil | |||
might appear to be synonymous terms, but the wise one knows that there is | |||
a vast difference, for the latter is an irresponsible creature, being one of a | |||
lower spiritual order – the fire elementals – which have never yet been | |||
incarnated in physical bodies. | |||
Evolutionary law makes use of the Dugpa for the testing of a human | |||
being, but it does not willfully or blindly create him for such a purpose. | |||
There is a fine line of demarcation to be found between good and evil, | |||
white and black, positive and negative forces, although not always | |||
perceptible to the average man. In the consideration of White and Black | |||
magic that line is exceptionally fine; it belongs to the order of "little | |||
things" frequently referred to by us – original causes of cosmic-wide | |||
events. It is said that the two paths of White and Black magic run side by | |||
side, and this is true, for a long distance, but there is a certain | |||
definite point where they meet and cross, and one or the other must | |||
disappear from manifested life at that point. | |||
It is a great mistake to dwell upon the thought that any mischance, any | |||
wrong act or antagonistic thought is directly the work of a Black Magician, | |||
for while such may or may not be the original cause of some untoward | |||
event, if it were true that such a cause were set up, the added force | |||
supplied by the secondary vehicle in the form of individual thought, word | |||
or act, may be all that is required to turn the balance of power and bring | |||
into materialized form or action the negative force dominating the | |||
mentality of the black magician, and only waiting a suitable vehicle for | |||
representation. Unfortunately such an entity is liable to find the needed | |||
vehicle in some associate who may have hitherto been all that could be | |||
desired in the way of a friend or comrade, who has been deceived or led | |||
into over-consideration of the importance, or fear of the results, of some | |||
specific action threatened by a black magician. You would neither fear nor | |||
despise a live wire as long as you knew the electric energy passing through | |||
the molecules at any time could not leave that wire and leap into your body | |||
without such a conductor as you atone could supply. | |||
If you will all strive to render yourselves, body and mind, immune to | |||
such entitised forces as the black magicians have been rightly termed – the | |||
great Disintegrators, you will deprive them of so many victims. The words, | |||
"by their fruits ye shall know them", are peculiarly applicable to those | |||
entities, for all the power at their command is used on fines of separation ; | |||
and in no instance may you feel so sure of their malignant presence and | |||
action as when you see some body of former friends or comrades being | |||
torn apart for no sufficient cause. The ability of those entities to | |||
manufacture and furnish what appears to be sufficient cause for such | |||
action, and its ready acceptance by the majority of human kind, is truly | |||
phenomenal. | |||
When a realization of the underlying cause of all human woe and | |||
suffering dawns on the mind of a deep student of life's mysteries ; when | |||
even on the greatest heights of bliss attainable by human kind, there comes | |||
to him the consciousness that such bliss is meaningless, worthless and | |||
transitory unless it can be shared with others ; when one who loves his race | |||
comprehends that he must remain outside of the real life of every other | |||
soul, until he has broken down forever the barriers between them and | |||
himself, and that no effort of his in any other direction can change that | |||
fact ; when he understands that even if he were able to open the physical | |||
heart of a beloved friend and imprison his body therein and close up the | |||
entrance, he would be no nearer the real self of that friend ; understands | |||
that notwithstanding all the longing, the praying, the hard striving, | |||
all the ambition and battling with nature forces to gain something that | |||
never can be gained by him in his present state of development until he can | |||
break down those watts of separation, i. e., union with and perfect | |||
understanding of the thing or creature his desire has been fixed upon ; and | |||
at the same time comprehends that the ultimate cause of all that anguish | |||
and all the suffering, all the loneliness, the useless effort, is due clone to | |||
the separation of soul from soul – of the created from the Creator the | |||
Father – Mother from the child ; THEN – and then only he comes to a | |||
realization of the awfulness of the and the hideous, dastardly, fiendish | |||
work of the Black Magicians and the conscious or unconscious disciples of | |||
the latter, who have been made vehicles for the transmission of this deadly | |||
power. | |||
Only Divine Love can sound the depths of the horrors of that sin, and | |||
only the highest love of which man is capable can possibly sense the gulf | |||
that lies between separation from and unification with God. | |||
Tear down the barriers, children of my soul ! Shut out from your | |||
hearts nothing in the Universe save the thing or creature that would | |||
separate you from other human souls ; for only in union with those other | |||
human souls will you ever find God – find Love Incarnate – find Peace | |||
and Fulfillment. | |||
Every barrier you build between other human souls is a barrier | |||
between your God and your own soul, between your Higher Self and you. | |||
