The more initiated we become into deeper levels of occult wisdom, the more we are able to influence reality at the metaphysical level and the greater our responsibility becomes to use this knowledge responsibly and selflessly.

Knowledge can be used for good and for evil – there is sometimes a fine line between the two.

Black magic is essentially the misuse of occult/metaphysical power for self-gain, personal gratification, forced growth or to infringe upon the free-will of another. A sorcerer can be seen as someone who attempts to manipulate the laws of reality, for their own self-serving motives – whether that be to ‘manifest’ wealth, a partner or to fulfil one’s desires.

The ego is a great deceiver. It can convince us that we are acting selflessly, even at times when our actions are driven by self-serving interests. It is important to check in with ourselves and be honest about our intentions.

We can either choose to work within natural law and utilise our awareness or the betterment of all or we can succumb to self-serving egoic motives and attempt to utilise our deeper wisdom to gain advantage over our fellow human beings.

As well-intentioned as some people may be in their pursuit of growth, whenever there is an attempt to shortcut development or to force conditions not merited under the law of Karma, this is a form of black magic.

True growth is organic and involves sincerity, honesty, virtue, patience, commitment, and discipline. This is a life long process and not something that can be bought, shortcut or achieved forcefully through artificial aids.

Organic growth is grounded in reality and does not attempt to use higher laws to fulfil lower desires or ambitions.

The organic path respects natural law and seeks to work only within its confines. There are no special privileges and dispensations – all things must be earned through one’s own merit.

When our intentions are sincere, there is no need to force the process through manifestation rituals/techniques, as we will receive exactly what is in accordance with our state of being and level of spiritual development

Forcing something into manifestation, when it is not earned through honesty, integrity and inner purification, is in direct contravention to natural law and has karmic consequences. This is not punishment, but simply the way that the immutable laws of creation operate.

When we attempt to manifest, we are demonstrating a lack of trust in the divine process. In truth, there is never a need to engage in manifestation rituals.

Through divine alignment, we receive exactly what is necessary for us on our evolutionary journey – there is no need for excess, just as there is no excess in the rest of nature.

The true evolutionary path does not grant excessive wealth in the form of money or material possessions, but an inward wealth, which cannot be bought, nor corrupted.
