                            No-one can do or say
                            anything which will lower
                            your life force.
                            However there are certain
                            felt reactions that do
                            in fact lower your life
                            force.
                            These are primarily
                            fear and insecurity.
                            Anything which lowers your
                            life force moves you to
                            the negative.
                            Here it gets complicated.
                            How your brain reacts to
                            the fear or insecurity
                            could lower you more
                            or raise you to the
                            positive.
                            You could for example
                            choose to exact revenge.
                            Revenge is the result of
                            rage. Rage triggers
                            certain thought patterns
                            which for the moment 
                            lift you to a point of 
                            exhilaration but later
                            drop you to uncharted
                            depths of your psyche.
                            You live out your old age
                            filled with regret for
                            those things which were
                            done in haste out of 
                            a disrespect for life.
                            On the other hand, you could
                            decide as the mystics of
                            old that the fear is not valid, 
                            that insecurity is a
                            waste of time and that
                            the only way to help the
                            uncertain souls of others
                            is through unemotional
                            detachment from life's
                            problems. It is only through
                            diligence and patience that
                            true union with all can 
                            be realized. Stand true
                            to your path. Tommorrow
                            will come but what it 
                            brings will be sorrow
                            and much bloodshed for
                            the angry masses.
                            Lift yourself to the
                            positive and bring as
                            many as you can with 
                            you but don't let
                            your path be known to
                            others. To do so will
                            be to give away your
                            very being.
                            Choose your students 
                            cautiously for there
                            are many who think
                            they are going to the 
                            end of the line and
                            are in fact sent of
                            others unbeknowenst 
                            to them to exact 
                            your downfall.
                            I cannot tell you what
                            to look for.
                            I can only tell you to 
                            look.
                            Don't be afraid.
                            Help any who would 
                            let you.
                            Be understanding 
                            of those who
                            ask for your advise
                            but don't take it.
                            The definition of negative
                            is any thought which
                            ultimately lowers your
                            psychic awareness.
                            Positive is now understood.
                            -------------+------------
                            There are no magic words,
                            no mystic spells,
                            no sacred rituals.
                            These are but mere illusions
                            brought forth from man's
                            imagining mind.
                            Man says the word and his 
                            desire comes into being.
                            He says a spell and
                            suddenly another life 
                            changes to his will.
                            He performs a ritual
                            and his mind is instantly
                            filled with peace and
                            contentment.
                            In all instances there was
                            one common factor but
                            he refused to see.
                            He was able to believe.
                            Because at first belief
                            is weak, it is necessary 
                            to start small.
                            As you see the magic work,
                            your faith in it grows
                            stronger.
                            Don't move too fast or
                            you will stumble and in
                            the stumbling will lose
                            what little faith there
                            was.
                            At all times try to move
                            away from dependence on
                            rituals and spells.
                            Else the spell will be
                            forgotten and your belief
                            in it made useless.
                            Rituals in the heat
                            of battle cannot be performed
                            properly and so are a waste.
                            Amulets and talismans can
                            be ripped from you by one 
                            more aware of their true
                            power.
                            These things can help you 
                            build your faith but dependence
                            on them will lead to
                            ultimate misery.
                            It would be better if 
                            you could leave them 
                            off entirely.
                            Ask your god for help
                            in your hour of need.
                            He will always be there at
                            the back of your mind waiting.
                            Do not abuse the gift by
                            over use.
                            Know the truth but when 
                            you give advice to others,
                            speak with your inner voice.
                            If you can allow the inner
                            voice to speak you will
                            always say the thing
                            that needs said.
                            Do not let emotions crowd
                            your mind and make you
                            unable to speak wisely.
                            An emotional response will
                            invariably be the wrong one.
                            You will never know for
                            sure until it is too late.
                            The dispasionate mind is
                            capable of achieving almost
                            anything.
                            If you desire to do
                            evil it will be achieved.
                            If your desire is for good
                            that too sill be accomplished.
                            Place no limitations and the
                            only exceptions will be
                            where you come into contact
                            with people like you.
                            This is where intelect 
                            kicks in. The one with
                            the greater knowledge in
                            the area of concern will
                            invariably win.
                            Stand tall.
                            To lose the battle is
                            to gain valued information.
                            Each loss prepares you
                            for a win.
                            Take no thought for another's
                            existence unless you are
                            capable of doing that and
                            remaining detached.
                            As you grow older and 
                            your awareness of the
                            world around you increases
                            you will be able to
                            do this more effectively.
                            Do not allow failure 
                            to lower your self-esteem.
                            Remember that each failure
                            bridges a future gap.
                            In all things learn.
                            I can say no more on this.
                            ------------+------------
                            In all things, there
                            must be balance.
                            This is the greater
                            truth, the deep truth.
                            The lesser truth is
                            that if man sins 
                            he will suffer for
                            it.
                            And what is sin?
                            Perhaps the wizard, 
                            magus or priest
                            understands sin
                            better than anyone.
                            He knows that a 
                            time will come, as
                            it has before, when
                            all that is evil in
                            the world will be
                            locked up in a little
                            box.
                            He knows that good 
                            without bad gets 
                            old and undesirable.
                            He knows that, eventually,
                            Pandora will come along,
                            reopen the box and 
                            renew the cycle.
                            In each cycle, those who 
                            suffered in the last one
                            will try harder to
                            improve their situation.
                            On the other side, 
                            those who found it easy
                            to achieve their height
                            won't try as hard
                            in this cycle.
                            Where the layman sees
                            the lesser truth and allows
                            the pain and suffering in
                            the world to upset him,
                            the wizard sees the 
                            greater truth and 
                            recognizes the harmony
                            in even the lowest 
                            form of degradation.
                            He may help his fellow 
                            man, he may not.
                            In any event he 
                            will feel little if
                            any remorse should
                            his action result in
                            the negative.
                            It is a learning 
                            experience.
                            Some wizards will work
                            only the positive magic
                            while others will work
                            only negative magic.
                            Still others will work
                            magic on both sides
                            of the fence while 
                            there will be some
                            who merely sit 
                            back and enjoy
                            the show.
                            All are right according
                            to the deep truth.
                            There is no separation.
                            God is man.
                            Man is god.
                            More, All is God.
                            God is All.
                            Take a puzzle and
                            remove one piece.
                            The whole is diminished.
                            God is the whole.
                            By the motion of my pen
                            the universe is changed.
                            That is power.
                            We are all but fragments
                            in the ever expanding
                            crystal of infinity.
                            The atoms are all in
                            constant motion. Change
                            that motion and you
                            change the appearance
                            of the crystal.
                            Should a star a
                            trillion lightyears
                            away blink out, it's 
                            absence will be felt
                            here and throughout
                            infinity.
                            Our limited consciousness
                            can register this small
                            change, imagine the
                            greatness of infinity.
                            Even the vibration of
                            one small atom here
                            has a direct effect on
                            that star.
                            There is no mystery.
                            There is only our 
                            limited desire to
                            understand.
                            The deep truth is
                            the only real truth.
                            The lesser truth is
                            not really truth:
                            Believe what you must
                            to survive.
                            Don't believe in vain.
                            Some will choose ritual,
                            others will choose mind
                            over matter,
                            still others will choose 
                            to be inventive on 
                            their path.
                            None are wrong, so 
                            long as their belief 
                            is not in vain.
                            Stand tall.
                            Don't be afraid to
                            believe.
