LIFE & ENERGY

Don't let the former lesson about the "Law of Three" scare you away.

(but if it does, of course you should feel free to go)

Now that we know that

- we mustn't harm another

- we should be in touch with nature and

- we should do good, only if we feel there is a need to

we can start thinking of how we can do good.

Remember everything in this world has its own vibration,

it starts on the smallest level with the movement of molecules

and goes on to larger entities moving energy through different shaped channels.

It is easy to see that something that lives, has energy.

But what is the definition of LIFE ?

Ever thought about that?

Well, LIFE = movement =

Everything that reacts on light => i.e. plants turning towards the sun

or the reaction of fish diving deeper upon seeing a big shadow

or

things that react on sound => birds flying away upon hearing a loud bang

or

things that react on touch => i.e. certain plants, curl up or retract and

an animal - when touched - may pull away in its sleep, (remember humans are also animals)

or some
things that react on vibrations => i.e. animals running, crawling or slithering away when an earthquake announces itself

The only thing we believe to be lifeless are stones and rocks.

Well I am sorry, but even they contain a form of life and have a sort of movement.

Simply think of piëzo electric crystals that shrink and expand in an almost eternal  similar way.  Or when a mineral gets dissolved by water or some other chemical. Then a process of melting, falling apart or making new connections is set in motion.

This is a form of movement, therefore => there is life.

Doing Good, the sequel...

Apart from the movement in molecules, stones and living creatures, there's also the radiation.

Radiation happens in waves. 

There are all sorts of waves and we can see some of them, but there is much more that we cannot see.  Simply look at the scheme that goes with this article. (click the picture to enlarge it)

Now we have all heard about sound waves that can destroy things. Think about the high pitch voice of an opera singer that can make crystal glassware burst.

Or some supersonic wave that hits a detonator which sets off a torpedo.

Or the Biblical trumpets that made the walls of Jericho come down.

Or an example closer to home:

The microwave!  Which can destroy (or fry) food that has been put in there. 

Easy a child can do it, but make sure that this same child doesn't try it out on his pet cat or dog! 

Now those are the destroyer waves or radiations. But if there's a negative, most likely there will be a positive...  And yes of course... you can make popcorn from maize, which - to most people - is but chicken food.  So that's an improvement.

There are also machines that produce anti-noise, which diminishes the sound of certain heavy machines, that's also a good way of using waves.

There are also waves that can penetrate deep water of even stones and in doing so can change the constructions of the materials by moving the molecules.

Now there is no scientific proof for it yet, but it is said that there are certain people who are capable of doing pretty much the same with their brainwaves or sheer willpower.

Some people in Asia have been seen producing small objects out of the blue. (for instance: Sai Baba) Some Tibetan sages have been able to live on 1 grain of rice for a fortnight and in a book about "The Masters of the Universe" I once read that there are wise men who are capable of picking up a handful of sand and with their mind, they change the molecules of the sand so that it changes into dough or bread.

That reminds me of the story of Jesus and the multiplication of the fishes and the bread in the dessert, and the changing of water into wine on another occasion.

So now you see the importance of you intent.  When in Buddhism they say:

"Thoughts are forces", they mean it!  En when in English they say: "Careful what you wish for; you might get it!", that's also a very big truth.

More on waves

Whatever your experience on the path of witchcraft so far, you need to think all these things over before you act.

Magick is not a switch you can turn off and on at your whim.

It is a formidable force that you build up along the way.

When you cast a spell or develop a ritual, you are throwing waves at reality.

If these waves aren't strong enough, they'll fade away before reaching their target.

If you mis-throw them, they'll arrive at the wrong place to cause effects different than expected, and you will not hear about it, for no-one knows where it came from.

If they're too powerful, turbulent or shady the results may be catastrophic.

If they are not thrown in a perseverant and patient enough way they won't influence reality enough.  And if there's no reality to send them to, where will they arrive, what effect will they have?

To make Magic work you need five things:

Knowledge,

Conviction,

Passion,

Action and

Reality.

Knowledge

You must know what you are doing and perform it properly. Otherwise nothing will happen, or strange and even awful things might happen to strange people in far away places.  Therefore you have to think things through before you act.

Remember: When in doubt >> turnabout.

Conviction

If you don't believe in Magic, nothing will happen. Full stop.

The more you believe in the Magic that you do, the more the Magic will work.

Passion

Magic is like love, if you do not enter it with all your body and mind, it isn't worth bothering about. 

Magic is a dormant Dragon.

If your heart isn't in it, Magic isn't going to wake up for you.

When you perform a ritual or cast a spell, make it come from deep down in your belly, make it rage like an angry wave of the ocean and make it surge through your body to come bursting out your mouth, like the flames of a Dragon.

(That does not mean that you have to shout (although that is not forbidden), but you have to give that magic DRIVE.)  Give it a WAVE on which it can shoot away in the right direction, to the right place with the right intent.  Then Magic will work.

Just whispering as if you are reading things from a book WON'T DO.

Action

If you do not play the lottery, chances are nil that you might win. If you do not play football you will never make a goal.  Well if you never try out Magic - in action - nothing will ever happen.  Don't be afraid to try a ritual, but be careful of how you do it.

When in doubt, check your facts again (and again if need be), before you perform.

Reality

I mentioned above "If there is no reality to send the Magic Waves to, where will they arrive, what will happen to them?"

This might have made you think; "What does she mean, with "no reality"?"

Well let me explain.

What if

You are convinced that a friend cheats on you with another friend.

You might want to do something about their relationship.

But what if you are wrong?

What if there's no such thing as "a relationship" between the two of them?

Then you direct your Magic at something that does not exist, that has no reality.

What if

If you wake in the middle of the night, thinking there's a burglar in your house and you want to cast a spell at him, but there never was a burglar?!  You just dreamt it, or you heard a sound that came from the neighbours.

Then there's no reality to work at.

What if

Some pathological liar has been telling you about his big mansion and lots of land around it and he has complained about a bad crop this year.

Being a little naieve, you might want to help him with his crop, but as he's a liar, there is no such thing as "a big mansion" or "lots of land".  So where does your magic go to?

What if

An acquaintance tells you over the phone that she's very ill and she names you a disease.  You might again want to do good and help her, so after having hung up the phone you decide to perform a ritual to cure her.  But what if she's mistaken and she has a totally different disease? Or what if her doctor is mistaken?  They are not infallible you know. What will your magic do to her body then? Better be careful and check things thoroughly again.

Therefore always check your facts before you act upon it.

And when you act, be careful still!
