Hallo all,


Here is a little something from the smoking HPB...


taken from the HPB article
DIALOGUES BETWEEN THE TWO EDITORS 


"M.C. But supposing the evil-wisher to have a very strong will, without being a dugpa, could the death of the other be accomplished? 
H.P.B. Only if the malicious person has the evil eye, which simply means possessing enormous plastic power of imagination working involuntarily, and thus turned unconsciously to bad uses. For what is the power of the "evil eye"? Simply a great plastic power of thought, so great as to produce a current impregnated with the potentiality of every kind of misfortune and accident, which inoculates, or attaches itself to any person who comes within it. A jettatore (one with the evil eye) need not be even imaginative, or have evil intentions or wishes. He may be simply a person who is naturally fond of witnessing or reading about sensational scenes, such as murder, executions, accidents, etc., etc. He may be not even thinking of any of these at the moment his eye meets his future victim. But the currents have been produced and exist in his visual ray ready to spring into activity the instant they find suitable soil, like a seed fallen by the way and ready to sprout at the first opportunity. 

M.C. But how about the thoughts you call "silent"? Do such wishes or thoughts come home to roost? 

H.P.B. They do; just as a ball which fails to penetrate an object rebounds upon the thrower. This happens even to some dugpas or sorcerers who are not strong enough, or do not comply with the rules --for even they have rules they have to abide by--but not with those who are regular, fully developed "black magicians"; for such have the power to accomplish what they wish. 

M.C. When you speak of rules it makes me want to wind up this talk by asking you what everybody wants to know who takes any interest in occultism. What is a principal or important suggestion for those who have these powers and wish to control them rightly--in fact to enter occultism? 

H.P.B. The first and most important step in occultism is to learn how to adapt your thoughts and ideas to your plastic potency. 

M.C. Why is this so important? 

H.P.B. Because otherwise you are creating things by which you may be making bad Karma. No one should go into occultism or even touch it before he is perfectly acquainted with his own powers, and that he knows how to commensurate it with his actions. And this he can do only by deeply studying the philosophy of Occultism before entering upon the practical training. Otherwise, as sure as fate--HE WILL FALL INTO BLACK MAGIC.
