Dear Gerry:

As I understand it, both the "white" and the "black" magicians have the same
knowledge of how Nature works -- its laws.  

The difference between the two is:

The White ADEPT employs his wisdom to assist Nature. He spends his time and
energy to be a generous and wise compassionator. As a group, they are said
to be growth of wisdom and constructive activities -- that is: concerned
with the Manvantaras and the benevolent, virtuous and cooperative side of
individual human life and Nature. They are said to maintain the several
"schools" for disciples and chelas we read about. The SECRET DOCTRINE is a
partial and condensed record of their wisdom and knowledge.

The "Black adept" uses his knowledge selfishly for his own purposes and for
confusion and destruction. His knowledge obstructs and impedes, not only
Nature's progress, but also, is deliberately used to obstruct the advance of
other disciples and students who may be seeking for the TRUTH. The Black
Adepts are said to preside over the processes that induce the Pralayas.

HPB tries in her days to explain the difference between the "Eye" and the
"Heart" Doctrines. The same difference, of course, continues for as long as
thee are aspirants to improve their "personal" natures and transmute them
into their INDIVIDUAL NATURES where reside the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas
(the Buddha-lands).

[As an example, in the present, we have those who spend their time to devise
the viruses and worms that can attack our computers. The same rules and laws
of construction and computer "know-how" are employed in constructing a valid
assistance for a great number of persons like GOOGLE or MICRO-SOFT.

That's as I understand it.

Best wishes,

Dallas

<<I think this will be found of importance in defining exactly what "Black
Magic" is.>>

Dal, 


I read Blavatsky's article, but came away with no more idea of what
Black Magic is then before. To suggest that Black Magic is Phallicism
doesn't hlep unless we know what Phalllicism is, and she never bothers to
tell us. To suggest that Phallicism may possibly be the worship of the
human genitals doesn't help unless we know what such "worship" entails and
she never tells us. Frankly, I found the article more than confusing.

In her article, she says, "Anthropomorphism in religion is the direct
generator of and stimulus to the exercise of black, left-hand magic." Now,
most Christian fundamentalists believe in an anthropomorphic God
