Curses and Magick Attacks, and How to Avoid Them?

Please don’t let this topic worry or scare you. Most people in this world are genuinely GOOD people, and would never try to harm a fly…

But there are always the few that look to harm other people, either physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

You see, you don’t have to practice Magick to put a curse on somebody. I know that sounds strange at first but let me explain…

Magick, in its basic form, is the control and focus of hidden energies we all have – on a very specific goal. The practice of Witchcraft is simply the “vehicle” used to control energy and send it out to effect things.

If someone who has never even picked up a book about Witchcraft has strong emotions about you (either good or bad), their thoughts (if they are focused and intense enough) can affect you – as if they did cast a spell on you.

Has someone ever been in love with you? Someone who truly wishes the best for you in life? Have you noticed that the more they are “around” in your life on a day to day basis, things in your life tend to go better… you have more luck, you are happier, and you have more fun (even if they aren’t even in the room with you)?

That person is constantly thinking wonderful thoughts about you – and that energy (Magick energy, mind you) is being sent out from them – and it is making your life better, sometimes it can even create little miracles for you.

Now, if this person practices Witchcraft, and is able to focus this positive energy even better (through spells and rituals) – imagine how it can change your life.

But, there is a flip side to this coin.

As with everything, there are always those few who you may run across in life that do not wish you the “best”. In fact, they may have a general “vendetta” against everybody – you included.

Whether these people practice Witchcraft or not – if you cross their path, they can very possibly wish you ill will. With just some focused, intense negative thoughts – this negative energy can affect things in your life…

You can call it a “curse”, a “Magick attack”, or just plain “bad luck”. Any focused, intense negative energy can really bring you down. Here’s a simple example we’ve all experienced…

Have you ever walked into a room where two people have been arguing and fighting (emotionally, with words)? You go into the room, their conversation stops… but the bad feelings don’t.

It’s almost as if you could “cut the tension with a knife” (I’m sure you’ve heard that phrase before). And that tension, that negative energy in the room – affects your outlook. It affects you in negative ways…

And not just while you are in the room, but after you leave…

You see, it doesn’t have to be someone casting an harmful spell on you with Witchcraft… it could be something as simple as a person getting extremely upset with you, and wishing you bad thoughts (even if they have no idea what Witchcraft is!).

Yikes, I don’t like the mood of this newsletter, but I only bring these things up because it is important (and easy) to protect yourself.

Just talking about negative energy was making me feel a little…well… negative – so I just had to write a few more positive energy filled comments! I get more every day, and each one brings joy into my life, and I try to send it back out to all of you!

Anyway, back to the task at hand… protecting yourself against negative energy (even so-called “curses” or “Magick attacks”),

I know that there are some people visiting my blog and reading these newsletters that don’t have much experience with the Craft… on the other hand there are a lot of you with A LOT of experience.

Because there are some beginners reading this, I have to be careful about what I show you, I don’t want anyone getting in over their head.

For now, I am going to leave you a very basic protection you can do to protect yourself from many of the negative energies that can find you…

Stone And Crystal Protection

This simple spell (anyone can do it…it is completely safe) will create something that, when carried with you, will absorb negative energy (such as anger, danger, and malevolence) directed at you, or around you.

STEP 1: It works best with a black crystal, but if you don’t have a black crystal – you can find your own special stone, charm, or crystal around the house (or even in your yard).

If nothing you can use immediately comes to mind, simply go through your house and look for a special charm or necklace that means something to you. If you can’t find anything, look for any stones or crystals in the house that “feel right” to you (it really helps if you have some emotional tie to the object you select)…

If you are still having problems finding something to use, try going outside. Pick up various stones off of the ground. Hold them in your hands, and close your eyes. How does the stone feel in your hand? If it feels good, or “right” (you’ll know), you’ve found something you can use. If not, just move on to the next stone until you find one you feel will work…

STEP 2: Next, find a room or an area of your home where you feel comfortable. It should be a place where you can set up a few candles, dim the lights, put on some soft – emotion based music, and relax. Above all, you need to do whatever you need to do to feel completely 100% safe and secure… and at ease.

Go ahead and dim the lights, set up a few candles, put on some soft music that creates positive feelings inside of you (if you have some, if not that’s ok – music does help though).

STEP 3: Sit in a comfortable position so that you can see the light of the candles you have set up. This could be a couch, or special chair, or even a comfortable position on the ground or a pad. It is important that you feel comfortable and secure in your spot.

STEP 4: Hold your charm, stone, crystal, or other object in both hands. Hold the clutched object close to your chest – your heart. Now, make sure you relax and try to clear you mind as much as possible. Continue to push any negative thoughts out of your mind until you have reached a state of calm and peace.

STEP 5: Next, you want to think about your belief in what you are about to do. Think about how you believe, without a doubt, that the Magick energy that you are going to build up will protect you from negative energy. You must sincerely believe that your Magick will protect you.

STEP 6: Now that you have cleared your mind, and built up your belief in your spell, it is time to charge your special object with energies of protection. Visualize, in your mind, an egg shaped sphere of white light surrounding you (your eyes are still closed as you visualize yourself surround by this light).

Continue to visualize this image until it is sharp and clear in your mind.

STEP 7: Once the image is clear, slowly open your eyes. See this same clear image of the egg-shaped sphere of white light surrounding you – this time with your eyes open.

Now, hold your object out in front of you, with your palms open (facing up so that you are offering the object out in front of you).

STEP 8: Visualize negative energy coming towards you in the form of drifting, gray, small clouds of smoke. As this grayish smoke filled with negative energy reaches the egg-shaped sphere of white light surround you, see the gray smoke be whisked directly into the charm in the palms of your hands and devoured.

Continue this visualization until it becomes very clear. The gray smoke drifting towards you, and being instantly whisked into your special object as soon as it hits the white light surrounding you – and then being devoured into nothing as it is absorbed into your special object.

You should continue this visualization for 3 – 5 minutes.

STEP 9: When you are done, you will have a Magickal charged “amulet” of protection! Whenever you feel you need protection in your life, carry this object with you. In a pocket, or around your neck. You’ll periodically (about once every month or two) want to do this spell again to recharge the protective energies of your object. ---------------------

This is a very simple visualization spell, but don’t let its simplicity fool you. It is very effective for absorbing any negative energy out of your life – as long as you believe and have focused when you charge your amulet.

Transcending Addictions

From our Spiritual Retreat Center

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, yet nothing can be changed until it is faced.” ~ James Baldwin

Life is meant to be filled with challenges, which are simply opportunities in disguise. This is the cosmic set up which causes everyone to evolve and grow. The real battles you are here to fight are not outside your body with another person, organization or country. This is old school, and how the Neanderthal mind thinks. The evolved being is a deeply responsible and sensitive creature, who knows the real war is fought and won within them, wherever their own personal inner conflict resides. Once you find this true sustainable inner peace that remains regardless of the situation or circumstances you're given, then you've found something that will allow you to truly master this world.

We are all addicted to something. Every single person on this planet is facing some form of addiction on some level. You may be addicted to a lifestyle, money, a person, a feeling like guilt or neediness, and a memory from your past, a victim story, and a repetitive thinking pattern, the high from caffeine, alcohol, sex, cigarettes, food or perhaps depressing thoughts about your life. Whatever you do, don't judge or criticize yourself for whatever you're addicted to. There are a zillion things that the mind can easily get hooked by, yet the real question is, "Are you willing to transcend it?"

What makes someone an addict verses a user (or abuser) depends on their level of avoidance to pain and their attachment to pleasure. An addict won't take a few focused minutes to dive into and through the hard stuck feelings they have inside. They'll find a happy distraction that lets them avoid their feelings. The TV, alcohol, pot or tobacco creates an entertaining escape which provides a temporary sense of relief. The addiction is then slowly formed from the habitual escape route of doing what does not allow you not to face those unhappy feelings which you want to ignore, fix or bury deep inside. The addict has found a comfortable velvet rut in the world of avoidance, and has accepted the idea that their habit is simply who they are. The addict stops reinventing themselves, and lives in a dead fixed ego paradigm that is not open to a field of infinite possibilities.

Once you find out what it is you're addicted to, ask yourself one or all of these questions every morning. They will help you to regain your awareness of the conscious sensitive being you truly are. Ask yourself, who am I without this addiction in my life? Who would I be if I were truly free from this addiction this weekend? What would I like to creatively do with this extra time, energy or money that was once spent on this addiction? When I'm free from this addiction what does my face look like in the mirror? How will my heart feel once it is liberated from this addiction? It may take weeks or months to find your answers, yet keep asking these questions over and over until your mind becomes crystal clear on what your personal answers are.

Freedom from addiction starts with being a warrior for the truth of who you are. You are not your addiction, no matter how bad it seems. The running water of a stream is not the old river banks which keep it flowing in the same direction. Who you really are is a constant flow of energy and consciousness. It just so happens that your thoughts and feelings keep moving in this one particular repetitive pattern. If you really want to liberate yourself, start with finding out what your deepest emotional need is that you are not getting met. What feeling is your heart really longing to experience in life, yet is being masked over by this addiction? Make a list of what feelings, thoughts and sensations you MOST want to experience, and notice what its going to take so that they are actually the priority over your addictive habit.

If you have to have something (or someone) in this world in order to be happy, then that addictive thing, experience or person can only cause you to feel powerless in its presence. If you cannot easily say no and be at peace inside without it, then it is destroying your ability to manifest your dream life. The actual powerless experience is what you've become addicted to and is the real culprit. The physical substance is just a cover up hiding those not-so-happy feelings you are trying to avoid. The real saboteur however is the unconscious rut you're willing to live in everyday.

If you try to push away an addiction without understanding the root of it, you'll only replace it with another "better" addiction or return to the old habit a few months or years later when a stressful life situation arises. The reason for this is that the unconscious mind is still associating pleasure with the addictive substance. It is only when you bring consciousness into your actual habit that you discover that you've already transcended it. You find this old repetitive pattern is just lowering your energy and actually not giving you the joy you're heart is longing for.

Only through consciously meeting with your habit can the mind wake up and truly stop returning to the substance for its pleasure fix. By bringing a conscious state of pure curiosity into your habitual experiences in life, your consciousness will naturally unravel this pattern and slowly free you from the addicted identity you've molded around yourself. When you bring consciousness into any experience in life, you transcend the experience no matter what it is. You stop identifying yourself with the experience and the experiencer having the experience. Something transcendental happens to you, and grace opens the doors for you to enter the divine. You find that you are the awareness that is beyond all experience.

By consciously experiencing the substance that makes you high and crave for more, you have to surrender every bodily sensation to the experience deeply and completely. Once your body has fully digested the experience it will naturally let it go on its own accord. For example, if you're addicted to smoking cigarettes, each time you light one up, do this smoking meditation. Bring all your senses to your experience of the cigarette. Consciously inhale the smoke deeply into your lungs, and let the smoke fill your entire being from head to toe. It’s best to smoke alone so that you will not be disturbed by anyone or anything. Hold the intention to fully explore your addictive substance, as if you were going on a date with your most intimate best friend.

Get to know this smoking energy intimately and whatever you do, don't let the mind focus on anything else but the experience of smoking. Each puff of smoke is a very rich experience and you will want to remain present with it. Just notice how your throat and lungs feel each time you take a puff. Feel all the sensations it brings to your body. Don't let your mind make any assumptions, expectations or get distracted by anything but your smoking experience. This is the golden key to transcending your experience and it can work with any addiction. Once the mind as brought full waking consciousness into your experience, it is fulfilled and doesn't need to repeat it in the future. It then becomes effortless and easy to give up your addiction.

Your system is brilliant and it simply knows on a deeper level what the greatest joy life has to offer. Once you are truly fulfilled with an experience you may try to return to do it again many times, yet you won't be able to. You'll be satisfied and satiated. When you consciously allow yourself to experience any toxic substance fully, totally, and are completely surrendered to it, it can no longer have a grasp on you. Please use common sense with this exercise so you don't overdose on any substance. Physical death would defeat the joy of transcending your addiction. It is the suffering ego trip that wants to die (not you), so this is getting curious about what you can do to bring more love, joy and consciousness into your life.

You are the master of your mind. You are always the conscious chooser behind each choice you make. There is nothing forcing you to continue having your addiction except your own unwillingness to see it for what it really is. If you really want to let it go bad enough, you will find a way to get over it. You already know that it’s not good for you, yet when you let this deeper unfulfilled need to be met from way down inside, your craving will completely lose its drive. You will know exactly where you can find pure joy and happiness again. So be honest with yourself about your feelings. Be real with your pain and find out what truly soothes you. This is the fastest way to finding true freedom and actually transcending any addictive habit.

Addiction cannot find a place to live in a life that is filled with joy, appreciation and gratitude. To truly defeat addiction in the short and long haul, you will need to increase your vibration and skyrocket your energy so HIGH that you are naturally uplifted about your life. Life is already so amazing in its ordinary state without a toxic substance. The key is the level of consciousness you are bringing to your experience of life. A life filled with consciousness is a life of mastery, lightness and love. You will find success in everything that you do, and only through consciousness can you discover that you have the power you need to move beyond any addiction.

My invitation for you this week is that you bring a deeper inquiry and curiosity into what you are addicted to. Befriend your addiction so that you get to know yourself on a much more intimate level. Discover what painful feeling or memory this habit is covering up for you. Look at what you most don't want to feel. Dig deep inside yourself and let your addiction be the guide that pushes you deeper within. Let it entice you to understand who and what you really are. There is an amazing strength inside you that is powerful enough to let go of your addiction. By getting to know yourself on a very deep meaningful level you're taking back the reigns, and empowering yourself with the strength to let it all go. The discovery of who you truly are is huge and may be the main underlying reason your soul decided to take on this habit in the first place.

Soul Loss and Retrieval

By: Raven Dolick

Copyright: RavenStar Enchantments 2011. All rights reserved.

Soul loss is a spiritual illness that causes emotional and physical disease. We all spend a tremendous amount of psychic energy looking for lost parts of ourselves. We do this unconsciously, and we do this in many ways - generating dreams and day-dreams, experimenting with numerous spiritual paths and creating relationships that mirror back to us our missing parts to name but a few.

Many of us today don`t feel totally whole; don't feel as if we are all here. Few of us live as fully as we could. Techniques exist for dealing with this common human situation, but these methods have either been almost entirely forgotten in modern society or people are unaware of their existence. For tens of thousands of years a practice known as shamanism has brought healing to people in many cultures around the world.

According to the practitioners’ perspective, one of the major causes of illness is indeed this soul loss.

Today we often find soul loss as a result of such traumas as abortion, abuse, accident, addiction, illness, incest, loss of a loved one, miscarriage, surgery, or the stress of combat. It also can even happen in more subtle cases as low self esteem and a over inflated ego and denial issues. The basic premise is that whenever we experience trauma, a part of our vital essence separates from us in order to survive the experience by escaping the full impact of the pain. This in itself is the spirit of denial. Soul loss can be caused by whatever a person experiences as traumatic either in this life or a past life, even if another person would not experience it as such.

The belief is that this part of our essential life-energy can split off and become lost in non ordinary reality. The practitioner will travel or journey for the client in an altered state of consciousness where he or she enters non ordinary reality in pursuit of these lost soul parts. This is usually done by those gifted in psychic surgery or shamanic practices.

The shaman or practitioner will then retrieve the lost soul parts from these non ordinary worlds and return them to the body of the client.

It is important to note that non ordinary reality is different than and not the same as the unconscious mind.

In formal past life regression therapy, the practitioner retrieves the separated (dissociated) part(s) of the past life character and integrates it (them) into the past life character as well as into the client during the healing process. In transpersonal therapy and transpersonal inner child work, the separated parts are again integrated into the client during the healing.

Examples of soul loss are when a beloved spouse, child, or friend dies, and we also `deaden` for a while, we feel as if the light has gone from our world, as if we are sleepwalking. This i how i experienced soul loss, after the traumatic death of my wife and infant daughter over a drunk driver. Others I have worked with return from having major surgery and do not feel as if they have come fully out of the anesthesia.

Some also have been involved in a serious car accident and report feelings of being "spaced out". Or be involved in an abusive intimate relationship and be aware of being locked into destructive patterns but feel too fragile and powerless to move on.

Or in leaving or having left this relationship, they feel as if something would be or is left behind with their partner.

Another sign of soul loss can be a gap in memory to avoid pain. The soul may also leave a child who does not feel loved, or who feels abandoned, by his or her parents. Being sickly as a child or suffering serious or chronic illness can often indicate this soul loss.

Chronic depression is another symptom of soul loss. A soul might leave the body to survive physical or sexual abuse.

In each of these cases, the traumatized person literally escapes to survive the ordeal. Shock is the word usually used to describe this condition.

Shock is a normal reaction in itself and no cause for alarm. But often, for reasons we don't fully understand, the part of the self that left fails to return and that is a predicament. Often this fragmentation or loss of a person’s essential being keeps him or her from being able to create a path of love and joy and move on in life. Using hypnosis to access these fragmented parts through past life healing and transpersonal therapy, the practitioner firstly accesses the inaccessible parts of our unconscious mind and then our subtle energy which is non-physical and part of overall consciousness, the corona of energy around living beings. This is similar to, parallel and part of the shaman`s spirit world (non ordinary reality).

This corona of subtle energy holds a great deal of information, well-being or disease, emotional states, mental attitudes and past lives and are often where our lost parts go. A form of psychic surgery and those gifted in this art are very good at this work. The only differences in the modalities used by the practitioner are the form of ritual or no ritual at all.

Through hypnosis, we can access this etheric blueprint or body to retrieve these separated parts and through the various healing processes integrate them back into the client. Shamanism and past life healing and trans-personal therapy provides not only a diagnosis and description of these widespread problems, but also acts as a powerful intervention and treatment.

Now our world is shaken and many practitioners feel and meet common ground that many souls are in the corona state and the only real means of regaining their full potential to move on and be complete is to retrieve that soul part that has been damaged by neglect, denial, or by chance or circumstance. Only then can we be and will we be that Divine source we were created to be. True redemption of yourself is bringing all of yourself back to its original cause and purpose. Where psychotherapy fails soul retrieval succeeds, if the client is willing to go beyond that which their conditioned minds will let them.

THESE MY LOVELIES ARE THE DAYS OF ACTION!
Are You A World Healer
DR Raven Dolick M.s.D.
Jul 12, 2015~all rights reserved

In-Service and Spiritual Service is Today's Sure Path to Spiritual Growth!

In life, you get what you give. By spiritually uplifting the world, you spiritually uplift yourself. People used to gain spiritual growth by becoming isolated from humanity. They would meditate in a remote cave or join a monastery in order to free themselves of the distractions of the world. I have even spent over ¾ of my entire life of 53 years in the remote forests away from human beings.
However, with today’s emerging heart-centered consciousness, everything has changed. Instead of isolation from humanity, the key to progress is now service to others and that means living in the noise and information overload of the modern world. This article I wrote main purpose is to hopefully show you how to deliver effective spiritual service by healing the world.
Never underestimate your power as a spiritual being in a material world. You have the ability to call on the power of spiritual energy to transform the world into a better place.

How to Heal The World
You can heal the world by any of these means.
Prayer – by asking the Infinite Consciousness or the universal Spirit for assistance
Intention – by visualizing and creating a better reality
Healing – by sending spiritual healing energy out into the world
Or... you can make a huge difference by combining all three!
In nearly five decades of spiritual research, the most effective and balanced practice for world healing that I ever found is one I learned in my early days in 1978. This time-tested and proven technique achieves remarkable results through the attraction, conditioning and transmission of spiritual healing energy.

The Nature of Spiritual Healing Energy
Spiritual healing energy is a conditioned form of universal life energy, which is an all-pervasive, subtle energy that is essential to life. It comes from the center of the universe, through the Sun, and fills all of the space around you. As a non-physical, etheric form of energy, universal life energy responds immediately to applied mental pressure. This means that you can use your faculty of imagination to apply mental pressure to attract, condition, and radiate this energy.

Create a Positive Outcome
First, visualize the positive change that you want to bring into being in the world. Even though you are healing something that you perceive as negative, it is important to focus, instead, on the desired positive outcome. If you send energy to something negative, you will amplify its power. By sending energy conditioned for a positive outcome, you make that form of healing possible.
For example, in your mind's eye, instead of a world suffering from strife, visualize the people of the world at peace. When you think of world peace, what is the first symbol that springs to mind – a crowd of happy children, a world without borders? Use that symbol, or, if pictures don’t easily come to mind, simply use the words, world peace, as the focus for your intention.
Or, instead of seeing spiritual ignorance and the suffering that it prolongs, visualize people who are becoming enlightened by spiritual understanding. Use the first picture that comes to mind or the words, world enlightenment.
Or, as another example, instead of seeing people displaced and distraught from a recent catastrophe, you could see aid workers being successful in their efforts to bring relief and medical assistance to those people, or use the words, energy to the aid workers.

How to Amplify Your Healing Power
To practice the simple and effective World Healing Technique, close your eyes and sit upright. If possible, let your hands rest in your lap, palms facing upwards.
Before proceeding, take a moment to recognize your spiritual nature. Know that you are a spiritual being living in a physical world. Take this opportunity to look upwards to higher realms of consciousness and ask God or the universal Spirit for the life energy that you are about to use. Life energy is there for you to use whether you ask or not, but the act of asking lifts your mind above the material world and forges a spiritual connection between you and the higher realms.
Be sure to add heart-centered feeling to your spiritual thoughts. Gratitude is a powerful inducer of unconditional love, so give thanks to the Creator for universal life energy, for everything that you love about your life, and for existence itself. This spiritual connection of heart and mind will raise your frequency of consciousness and this amplifies your healing efforts many times.
Breathe rhythmically and evenly, focusing your attention on your breath. Take several breaths and, with each in-breath, visualize life energy building into a vibrant white light within your body and energizing you with its life-giving energy. Now, we’re ready to use the in breath-out breath cycle to transmit healing energy for the specified purpose.

Transmission of Healing Energy
With every in breath, see your lungs being filled with the vibrant white light of universal life energy. With every out breath, recall your visualization or repeat your intention in your mind and send the power of this love and light out into the world. See this energy as a beam of brilliant white light coming from the focal point of your heart energy, which is located outside of your physical body approximately four inches (ten centimeters) in front of the breastbone.
Perform this as a series of in breaths and out breaths for as long as you wish, then relax and spend some time in the afterglow of a spiritual mission well accomplished.
These are the days of action, and that means service to others. Even better, your service to others also builds your spiritual growth. Action and reaction are opposite and equal.
Every time you send your light out into the world,
you take another step forward in your spiritual growth.

The World Healing Technique in Summary
Sit upright with your eyes closed.
Make a spiritual connection, one which includes gratitude for life.
Intend world healing by visualizing the desired positive outcome.
Breathe in life energy with each in breath.
On each out breath, repeat your intention and send a beam of white light from the energy center of your heart to your intended destination.

About The Laws of Magick
Dr Raven Dolick M.s.D.
Jul 11, 2015
All rights reserved

The Laws of Magick are not laws as in rules or a code of ethics or behavior. They are the basic precepts, or ideas on which the foundation of magickal working is based. I found them interesting and informative. I work it as knowing that the entire Universe does work within its own Laws.
Let’s take the Law of Gravity for instance. You drop a coin what is going to happen every time?…… Dah, it hits the ground. K got it. BUT what makes it do that? That is a Law and when we learn the Law we then can control Gravity. Magick is the same. You haven’t been successful as a power magician because you ran instead of crawled in your upbringing. You didn’t learn the Laws that govern it.
Real magic-the magic which has been practiced and believed in for thousands of years - is based upon laws, if not fully believed by the practitioners, at least adhered to. These laws have been recognized as the governing structure which makes the magic at least seem to work, gaining for the practitioners the desired results, and making people believe in it.
One of the pioneers to achieve a classification of laws involved in magic is Sir James George Frazer in his "The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion." Many others have discussed such a classification including Isaac Bonewits, to whom this writer is indebted for his brief classification of the magical laws, and Richard Cavendish.
The following laws place one in a proper attitude to perform magic:
•The Two Main Laws of Magick
•The Law of Knowledge
•The Law of Names
•The Law of Words of Power
•The Law of Association
•The Law of Identification
•The Law of Opposites
•The Law of Balance
•The Law of the Finite and the Infinite
Today about every hour I will be posting several Laws of magick many claiming to practice never even thought about. Keep checking back as we expand our understanding and move Magick from the fantasy to the reality today.
Dev Leza Avlon. It is God who brought you.
Ja Develehi! Go with God!

Two Main Laws of Magick

The two main laws in magic are:
1.Mind Over Matter
2.Belief.
Every good magician knows that it is the mind which controls the body, if it does not, he's in trouble. This is why the magician must know himself and his art. Without such knowledge he has no art, for knowledge gives control.
The second essential law of magic is belief. One must believe in what he does, for without belief there is doubt. To use magical power one has to feel it. This applies to everyone whether one is calling down a deity in a magic circle or praying for a miracle in a church. Doubt leads to failure, belief leads to success, perhaps not always physically, but always spiritually.


The Law of the Finite and the Infinite

The Law of Infinite Data states that there always new information for one to learn. The sources of knowledge are limitless if one wishes to tap them. This law can stimulate one to improve his capacities. It can also serve as a warning that one cannot learn or know everything, so it is best to limit one's visions at times, as new dangers can always appear.
The Law of Finite Senses states that one's senses are finite. They are limited to the amount of information which one can absorb and process at any given time. Simply put, one is pretty sure he does not have all data available on which to base a judgment.
The Law of Infinite Universes states that each person sees his universe or world a different way; therefore, no two people have identical views of the world. All people do not receive the same information or data; if they do, they view it differently, thus making for an endless number of universes.
Under this Law of Infinite Universes are two other laws: the Law of Pragmatism and the Law of True Falsehoods. The Law of Pragmatism simply states, "If it works, it's true." This is a very useful law because it avoids moral arguments with oneself and others. In this case, therefore, truth has a functional value since it works properly for the person. Such a law allows different responses to the same or similar situations which is the interplay of the Law of Synthesis.
The Law of True Falsehoods simply stated, "If it's a paradox, the paradox is probably true." This law will hold until a better answer or solution can be found.


The Law of Balance

The Law of Balance is simply a statement for conserving personal energy and achieving the greatest proficiency. One's energy or power level must be kept on an even keel, too much or too little will kill oneself.
This energy level is best maintained by avoiding extremes in thinking and action. One must be open minded, able to consider all alternatives, but strong enough to determine one's personal course in life. This requires the right amount of flexibility to be able to examine new ideas or concepts in order to keep the ones which would improve one's life and reject those that would not. In short, one never goes off on deep ends.
Note: Sometimes in magick, one must break the Law of Balance in order to tip the scales in your favor, and to achieve motion in a different direction. This will cause an expenditure of energy and a certain amount of chaos to be dealt with until a new balance is restored.
The Law of Opposites

The Law of Synthesis, or the Law of Opposites, states that the synthesis on two opposing or conflicting ideas or pieces of data will produce a new, third idea that will not be a compromise of the original two.
This law is used more in mysticism than magic. It allows one to simultaneously hold two opposing ideas without feeling anxiety or cognitive conflict.
The Law of Polarity says anything can be separated into two opposite parts with each part having its own essence. This law is essential to many mystical statements and arguments. Also, it is essential in denoting characteristics of objects. Examples of these are: white and black, up and down, right and left.

Peace and Beauty

They are a Choice

Peace resides in the human heart. Inner peace creates outer peace in your relationships and in the effect that you have upon the global consciousness.

Peace is a choice.

It respects your boundaries and it respects the boundaries of others. When you set your boundaries and stop others from intruding into your space, when you respect other people's boundaries and do not intrude into their personal space, then it is possible to move on to the next step, a state of mutual cooperation.

Mutual cooperation means that you support each other in ways that come from your heart. You help people because you love the spirit within them. Their outer personality is not the important focus here; it is their inner light, their inner spirit that you can always love, regardless of their outward actions. This, then, is the foundation for unconditional love.

The best model for unconditional love is right above you in the daytime sky. The Sun shines on everyone alike, without any judgment. It even supplies all life without EVEN BEING SPIRITUAL....... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Love and support are the key requisites for lasting peace. The more people embrace peace in their own lives, the more they affect the global consciousness that we all share on this planet.

Beauty lasts forever because it lives within the human heart.

True beauty can be seen in your eyes and sensed in your aura. It is that secret, 'certain something' that exists within people who radiate great personal magnetism. People with loving hearts radiate true beauty wherever they go.

When you allow unconditional love to flower within you, when you love the spiritual spark that is within yourself and within other people, then your beauty shines for all to see.
