As we develop spiritually and go through evolution we are
developing powers that will put us in contact with forces which we are now only
revering to as magical. We need to familiarise ourselves with knowledge of the processes
involved in evolution as our minds unfold and magic becomes science. Will we
use our powers for good or for evil?
a. Black Magicians and White.
Much is said among occult students these days anent white
and black magic, and much that is said is without force, or truth. It has been truly said that between the two
types of workers, the line of demarcation is so slight as to be difficult of
recognition by those who, as yet, merit not the term "knower."
The distinction between the two exists in both motive and
method, and might be summed up as follows:
The white magician has for motive that which will be of
benefit to the group for whom he is expending his energy and time. The magician of the left hand path ever works
alone, or if he at any time co-operates with others, it is with a hidden
selfish purpose. The exponent of white
magic interests himself in the work of constructive endeavour in order to
co-operate in hierarchical plans, and to further the desires of the planetary
Logos. The Brother of Darkness occupies
himself with that which lies outside the plans of the Hierarchy and with that
which is not included in the purpose of the Lord of the planetary Ray.
The white magician, as has been earlier said, works entirely
through the greater Deva Builders, and through sound and numbers he blends
their work, and thus influences the lesser Builders who form the substance of
their bodies, and therefore of all that is.
He works through group centres and vital points of energy, and from
thence produces, in substance, the desired results. The dark brother works directly with
substance itself, and with the lesser builders; He does not co-operate with the
forces which emanate from egoic levels.
The lesser cohorts of the "Army of the Voice" are his
servants, and not the directing Intelligences in the three worlds, and he
therefore works primarily on the astral and physical planes, only in rare cases
working with the mental forces, and only in a few special cases, hidden in
cosmic karma, is a black magician found working on the higher mental
levels. Yet the cases which are there to
be discovered are the main contributing causes of all manifesting black magic.
The Brother of Light works ever through the inherent force
of the second aspect as long as he is functioning in connection with the three
lower planes. After the third
Initiation, he works increasingly with spiritual energy, or with the force of
the first aspect. He impresses the lower
substances, and manipulates the lesser building lives with the vibration of love,
and the attractive coherency of the Son, and through wisdom the forms are
built. He learns to work from the heart,
and therefore to manipulate that energy which streams from the "Heart of
the Sun" until (when he becomes a Buddha) he can dispense somewhat the
force emanating from the "Spiritual Sun." Therefore, the heart centre in the Brother of
the right hand path is the transmitting agency for the building force, and the
triangle he uses in this work is
a.
The centre in the head which corresponds to the
heart.
b.
The heart centre itself.
c.
The throat centre.
The Brothers of the left hand path work with the forces of
the third aspect entirely, and this it is which gives them so much apparent
power, for the second aspect is only in process of reaching its vibratory
consummation, whereas the third aspect is at the height of its vibratory
activity, being the product of the evolutionary processes of the preceding
major solar system. He works from the
throat centre almost entirely, and manipulates primarily the forces of the
physical sun. This is the reason why he
achieves many of his ends through the method of pranic stimulation or of pranic
devitalisation, and why, also, most of his effects are carried out on the
physical plane. He works, therefore,
through
a.
The centre in the head corresponding to the
throat centre.
b.
The throat centre.
c.
The centre at the base of the spine.
The white magician works always in co-operation with others,
and is himself under the direction of certain group Heads. For instance, the Brothers of the White Lodge
work under the three great Lords and conform to the plans laid down,
subordinating Their individual purposes and ideas to the great general
scheme. The black magician usually works
in an intensely individualistic way, and can be seen carrying out his schemes
alone, or with the aid of subordinates.
He brooks usually no known superior, but is nevertheless frequently the
victim of agents on higher levels of cosmic evil, who use him as he uses his
inferior co-operators, that is, he works (as far as the bigger purpose is
involved) blindly and unconsciously.
The white magician, as is well known, works on the side of
evolution or in connection with the Path of Return. The black brother occupies himself with the
forces of involution, or with the Path of Outgoing. They form the great balancing force in evolution,
and though they are occupied with the material side of manifestation and the
Brother of Light is concerned with the aspect of soul or consciousness, they
and their work, under the great law of evolution, contribute to the general
purpose of the solar Logos, though (and this is of tremendous occult
significance to the illuminated student) not to the individual purpose of the
planetary Logos.
Finally, it might be briefly said in connection with the
distinctions between magicians that the magician of the Good Law works with the
soul of things. His brothers of darkness
work with the material aspect.
The white magician works through the force centres, on the
first and fourth sub-planes of each plane.
The black magician works through the permanent atoms, and with the
substance and forms concerned. The white
magician utilises in this connection the higher three centres. The black magician uses the energy of the
lower three centres (the organs of generation, the spleen, and the solar
plexus) synthesising their energy by an act of the will and directing it to the
centre at the base of the spine, so that the fourfold energy is thence
transmitted to the throat centre.
The white magician uses the kundalini force as it is
transmitted via the central spinal channel.
The black magician uses the inferior channels, dividing the fourfold
energy in two units, which mount via the two channels, leaving the central one
dormant. Hence it will be apparent that
one works with duality and the other with unity. On the planes of duality, therefore, it is
apparent why the black magician has so much power. The plane of unity for humanity is the mental
plane. The planes of diversity are the
astral and the physical. Hence the black
magician is of more apparent power than the white brother on the two lower
planes in the three worlds.
The white brother works under the Hierarchy, or under the
great King, carrying out His planetary purposes. The dark brother works under
certain separated Entities, unknown to him, who are connected with the forces
of matter itself. Much more could be
given in this connection, but what is here imparted suffices for our purpose.
b. The Source of
Black Magic.
In
touching upon this point, we are trespassing into the realms of the mystery and
the domain of the inexplicable. Certain
statements can, however, be made here which, if pondered upon, may throw a
little light upon this dark subject.
