Beloved Bruce, (This means "I love you.")

Well, psychically attacking people is black magic isn't it?

I can't answer this because I don't study black magic enough to know. I do
"interpret" what I have read on the subject in the I AM literature
differently than you do. For instance, the two beings that created the
animals. Let's say that there were two cosmic intelligences and for the
sake of visualization that they existed as rays of light energy. Let's say
that these two light rays combined their activity in different ways to
produce forms for the animals. Now you wouldn't think of these two light
rays as black magicians, would you? That is because the activity was an
important step in bringing life on earth as we know it into existence. We
all appreciate the animals in our own ways and for our own reasons. I think
that we have developed mentally by watching, studying, and learning about
their lives. What these two light rays did (during the 3rd root race of
man?) was beneficial to our planet. So how can anyone consider these two
rays as black magicians? Probably because if we were to find ourselves in
their presence today, there wouldn't be anything useful for them to do.
What they did was fine in their day and age! If the same action was to take
place today, I can perceive it to be "out of place, unnecessary, and a
reverse or snag in our evolutionary plan."

I was surprised when I read that Mrs. Ballard said that the dinosaurs were
of the sinister force, but I reasoned it out to mean that for our divine
plan and our evolutionary force, they don't belong. What we are doing in
the present root race falls under the direction of a kumara (SD) and also
an archangel. If the archangels, kumaras, and manus of the past races
attempt to exert their influence in a major effort, then as blessed as they
once were to us, they would be stepping out of line and creating conditions
that would not be helpful to us. This is the sense I get from things in the
past having fallen out of use today. We need to surround ourselves with all
of the energies that are useful for our growth today. Don't worry so much
if you hear "black magician" or "sinister forces" because we are capable of
handling the thought, don't you think?

I'm not a sweet old lady, and I think that the women in the temple are very
young looking despite their age. I am in a group with several other mothers
and children and lots and lots of gentlemen of all ages, so I guess I think
your emphasis is out of place.
