| |
|
| |
|
| |
| 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.
