I do understand that the so called black magician, has to have fallen from the path. The power is from the LIGHT_. The white magician walks in the light, uses the power positively and in- balance, the spiritual power grows. The black magician, has gained power as a white magician, then falls. Many things can cause the fall. Basicly it is a misuse of one or all of five things_ Power, Money, Substance (drink & drugs), Sex, Personalities. This is called misuseing the light. I have been told it is personalities that can be the hardest to master.

People who are highly spiritualy evolved have great spiritual power. It is not the practice of ritual that gives the power, it is living, and understanding the law. These laws are revealed to those who seek wisdom. It becomes a very narrow road. It has been called the razors edge.

Organizations can have the highest ideals and principles, and still become corrupted. One can practice white magic and never even know it. Theoreticly, one could be an atheist and still possibly be a practioner of either black or white magic. It is not so much a belief system, as it is the way one meets oneself on a spiritual plane of existence.

I have been a student of metaphysics for many years. This is considered occult philosophy. I think it helps me to be a better person. It deffinately makes life more exciteing.

I have never studied the black arts, my understanding is based upon my metaphysical studies, obsevations and experience.

I do know people whom I highly respect and I consider them white magicians, though they might not call themself that.

I consided Aldolf Hitler to have been either a practioner, or user of black magic. Absamma Ben Lauden is a black master.

Most people are not spiritualy powerful enough to be regarded as magical. They are caught up in the material plane. They might attempt to use magic for personal gain, but will have little or no sucess.

The Holy scriptures of the living religions of the world can be interprted as magical texts.

Others may have very different views on this subject. It is a topic of great interest for many.

This is not an easy path, often one feels for every step taken to advance another dozen or more are a slide backward. It has been compared to scaleing the sheer wall of a cliff.

More than from ritual, real magical power is gained by self disipline.
