Magic

Magic is the capacity of the consciousness to influence nature in its four kingdoms: mineral, plant, animal, and human.

Are your thoughts, emotions, and desires real? Our psychology is interdependent, since if you sincerely observe yourself, your thoughts, emotions, and desires affect others on a moment to moment basis. When you learn to master your own mind, you can learn to positively influence others through an awakened consciousness: one that knows how to relate to others with ethics, compassion, and divine love.

There are three forms of magic or priesthood: elemental magic (health, healing, and protection through the souls of plants), ceremonial magic (the Eucharist or Gnostic Unction), and sexual magic (alchemy or the perfect matrimony).

White magic is called "white" because of its purity. It is the ability of the consciousness to express divinity for the benefit of others. White magicians always respect people's free will while maintaining the highest ethical conduct and obedience to superior, divine laws.

Black magic is called "black" because of its impurity. It is the coercive influence of our egotistical desires, which seek to gratify their most subconscious, unconscious, and infraconscious impulses at the expense of others' energy. Black magic therefore violates the harmonious balance of divine law, resulting in further conditioning and suffering.

In the short term, learn the conjurations, invocations, and prayers of the Gnostic tradition, which are proven methods for rejecting negative influences in one's life. But ultimately, the best protection is to eliminate all of your psychological defects: pride, lust, envy, etc., since those are the tools that black magicians use to hurt you.

Fear and anger make us vulnerable to attack, whereas compassion and understanding makes one strong and invulnerable. Learn to use expedient methods or prayer and mantra to defend yourself when necessary.

In most cases, this occurs when the student is physically asleep. Learn to protect your mind, environment, and home on a daily basis by using prayers, mantras, incense, meditation, and other practices.

As students develop light, the forces of darkness become aware of their efforts. Do not fear attacks of black magic, because there can be no progress without resistance. If you are being attacked, it is also because you still have vulnerabilities in your mind: observe yourself, discover your defects, meditate on them and eliminate them.

Practical magicians work daily with the three priesthoods: elemental, ceremonial, and sexual transmutation.

The real priest is the Innermost, our spirit and divine magi. However, to become a priest or priestess of the Gnostic Church, a student must be a member of an established Gnostic school maintaining the three chamber system of Samael Aun Weor, and undergo many years of preparation.
