Before we can understand the difference between white magic and black magic, we need to understand who is acting through the human body.

The humanoid form we wear today is only a temporary costume, a biological instrument that allows the spirit to operate in this dense third-dimensional world. The mistake is identifying with the costume instead of the one who animates it.


What we truly are is the divine essence, a spark of the Eternal Source that has descended through layers of creation to gather knowledge, develop itself, and rise again. Our path is a vertical ascent back toward the Source, but not as we once were. We return with consciousness, mastery, and the wisdom earned through experience. We return as gods, capable of directing the forces of life rather than being directed by them.


White magic and black magic begin right here:in the recognition or the forgetting of our true nature. White magic is the work of the spirit ascending and returning to its origin. Black magic is descent due to misuse of the same forces, rooted in identification with the costume and its desires.


Evolution Through the Kingdoms

Our essence begins its vast evolutionary ascent, it first exists as a mineral elemental spirit, a phase in which it obeys the devas of nature, lives within the atomic elemental s that compose the mineral kingdom, and has no individuality of its own. In this state it responds automatically to the primordial forces that shape matter—pressure, heat, magnetism, and radiation.


As its journey continues, the essence graduates o the plant kingdom, becoming a vegetal elemental spirit, guided by the devas of the vegetal world. Here as a pure spirit, it develops sensitivity, subtle perception, and a more fluid exchange of vital energies, learning rhythm, growth, and the harmony of natural cycles.


Ascending further, the essence graduates to the animal kingdom and becomes an elemental of the animal realm, receiving the animal soul (nephesh)—a living principle governed by instinctual law. At this stage the essence becomes partially individualized, capable of experiencing pain, desire, territoriality, emotional impulses, and primitive forms of attachment. The animal devas guide these elemental spirits so they may learn movement, instinct, and the foundations of emotional life.


Each elemental stage refines a particular function of consciousness and prepares the essence for the humanoid kingdom, where for the first time it receives intellect and self-awareness, responsibility, and the possibility of developing the true human soul.

Only as a humanoid does the essence gain the opportunity to move beyond nature’s automatic guidance and begin consciously directing its own evolution, with the possibility of exiting the wheel of Samsara.

Acquiring the human soul is the key to stepping out of the mechanical cycle of reincarnation, a cycle we otherwise repeat unconsciously.

If the essence does not achieve this within its 108 humanoid incarnations, it must descend into the lower realms, where accumulated psychic impurities - ego - are dissolved in the painful processes of devolution. Once purified, the divine essence begins a new evolutionary ascent. Each essence has the right to 3,000 such cosmic cycles, ensuring that no spark of the divine is ever abandoned—only refined until it is ready to awaken.


Our Multidimensional Bodies

As consciousness and spirit, we exist on multiple dimensions simultaneously, even while appearing confined to a single physical life.

In the third dimension, we operate through the physical body, yet our essence is imprisoned by psychological aggregates of the ego—some coarse, some refined, all functioning as chains.

Behind the physical form, we possess a vital body used to travel in the fourth dimension, sustaining life and allowing reincarnation. Beyond it lies the astral emotional body- the body of desire - the lunar vehicle of desire through which we experience the astral world in the lower regions of the fifth dimension.

We also inhabit a mental body, the lunar mind existing in the lower mental region of the fifth dimension, through which we think, imagine, and project.


These inner bodies—vital, emotional, and mental—are lunar vehicles, given by nature and governed by ego, desire, and fragmentation. They are temporary and cannot enter the higher worlds.

To become an immortal human being, these lunar bodies must be replaced by the solar bodies, which can be created only through white tantra - sexual alchemy—the sacred transmutation of the creative forces achieved through the chaste union of man and woman. There is no other method. This doctrine was safeguarded for millennia because only the solar bodies can contain awakened consciousness.


The Kundalini—your own particular Divine Mother—ascends the spinal column to unite you with the Father in the pineal gland; through this sacred union, the rebirth of the solar bodies becomes possible. “That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is Spirit.”


 Kundalini remains dormant in most human beings, coiled three and a half times at the base of the spine. She never awakens in an impure person, nor can she rise without the sexual union without orgasm, where the creative energy is sublimated rather than expelled.

No guru, mantra, or external power can raise your Kundalini.

Only sexual alchemy, united with a purified heart, opens that path—activating the nervous system, illuminating the brain, transforming the DNA, and elevating the humanoid into a solar human.


The Embryo of the Soul and birth of True HU MAN

At our current stage, we possess only an embryo of the soul, a seed that must be consciously cultivated until it becomes a true human soul.


The development of the human soul is achieved only through discipline, the dissolution of the ego, and the successful passage through many ordeals, both in physical life and in the interior worlds.

As Kundalini ascends, vertebra by vertebra, raising the seven serpents within each existential body, it eventually reaches the heart. This is where the causal body is formed and the soul gains permanence, clarity, and conscious will.

Many traditions refer to this stage as Nirvana. In Gnostic terms, it marks the moment when the higher aspects of our Being, our Monad, the divine Spirit from which we separated during the fall in Lemuria, begin to reunite with us.


At that point, the lower human returns to its origin not as a mechanical creature of nature, but as a regenerated soul capable of expressing the will of its own inner God, with dominion over the four elements. That is when the true human is born.


The White Magician

The white magician is the priest—the initiate who works in harmony with the divine laws of creation. Through chastity, purity, and conscious transmutation, he collaborates with the elemental spirits of the kingdoms, the devas of nature, and the forces of the four elements. He does not dominate or coerce; he aligns, invokes, and elevates. Elemental beings respond to him because his vibration resonates with the Christic force. His magic restores, heals, harmonizes, and uplifts, always expressing the will of the inner God.


The Black Magician

The black magician works with the same cosmic forces, but through inversion. Guided by ego, like desire, pride and ambition, he bends the elemental spirits toward personal will.


Instead of collaborating with the devas of nature, he manipulates or coerces, awakening the negative polarity of the Divine Mother as Kundabuffer—the snake that tempted Eve in the garden of Eden also called the tail of Satan, who leads consciousness downward into the infernal dimensions. This is how humanity fall during Lemuria epoch. That is when we, as essence, slowly separated from our own monad, our higher self, the Father.

Black magic fragments, enslaves, and binds, crystallizing the ego and separating the soul from its own inner God.


Kundabuffer and the Descent

Kundabuffer draws consciousness into the lower dimensions, the inverted reflection of the higher worlds, where the internal black magician resides.


We all carry both light and darkness; the forces are the same, but how we direct them determines whether we ascend or descend. In this final phase of the human race, it is dangerously easy to misuse sexual energy and fall instead of rise.


Yet descent is necessary in order to liberate the trapped fragments of consciousness. While still on Earth, we have the opportunity to voluntarily enter our own darkness and recover those fragments that remain imprisoned within the psychological structures of the ego. This is what many call shadow work, and in Gnostic terms, it is the dissolution of the ego.

Just as a seed must be buried before it can sprout, we too must descend into the lower levels within ourselves in order to reclaim what has been trapped there.


These inferior regions—known as the underworld—are where psychological aggregates crystallize under heavy, dense vibrations. Each ego lives in the region that corresponds to its frequency: anger sinks to its level, lust to its own, pride to its own. Part of our consciousness already exists in these realms; the law of affinity gathers every fragment where it belongs.

We must descend voluntarily through inner work -shadow work - otherwise nature drags us there through the Second Death, the dissolution of the ego after we exhaust the 108 human incarnations.

There are nine such infernal dimensions, described with precision by the initiate Dante in The Divine Comedy:

Vestibule – The Indecisive - Those who never chose good or evil, drifting without direction.

Circle I – Limbo - The unbaptised and the virtuous pagans; spiritual stagnation without transmutation.

Circle II – The Lustful - Souls driven by uncontrolled passion, desire, and sexual impulses.

Circle III – The Gluttonous , pleasure addictions- Excess, addiction, and the lower appetites that imprison consciousness.

Circle IV – The Hoarders and the Spendthrifts - Attachment and waste—two extremes of material obsession.

Circle V – The Wrathful and the Sullen - Explosive anger above, and silent resentment below, both drowning the essence.

Circle VI – The Heretics - Those who denied the spiritual reality of the soul and rejected the sacred.

Circle VII – The Violent - Violence against others, against oneself, and against the divine order of nature.

Circle VIII The Fraudulent Seducers, deceivers, hypocrites, manipulators, false spiritual guides.

Circle IXThe Traitors - Betrayers of family, homeland, guests, benefactors—frozen in spiritual inertia.


CREATION

Creation is governed by the Law of Three, as describe by every religion or esoteric knowledge:

Christianity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit;

Hinduism: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva;

Kabbalah: Kether, Chokmah, Binah

Sacred trinity can be seen at the core of every creation in the cosmos as is represented in the atom: active force (proton), receptive force (electron), reconciling force (neutron). Father–Mother–Child. Nothing is created without these three.


All creation is organized and structured through the Law of Seven, visible in the seven chakras, the seven tones, the seven planets, seven minds seven hermetic principles.


Our reality, which we create in every moment, is formed through the same three forces. Since the universe is mental, creation begins in the mind with thought, which is then energized in the emotional center and expressed through action, materializing the creation.


Speech is action, and it completes creation through a vibrational wave. As we ascend to higher dimensions of ourselves, the creative sexual energy center is moving upward, and that is why we hear that the sexual organ of the Gods is the throat and they create with the Word, the Verb: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.”


Divine beings create through sound, just as we create physically through sex. Hence the power of mantras, sacred sounds.


Karmic Wave and Return

This is also how black magicians create (spells) and how negative psychic influence functions. A negative thought forms a vibration; emotion energizes it; words project it outward, completing the trinity of creation and sending the spell to its destination.


Law of Causality operates through every level of existence.

Whatever we project—thoughts, emotions, or actions—moves through the living field of energy we inhabit and eventually returns to us, often magnified.

Like a stone thrown into water sending waves back to the shore, everything we put into the field comes back in its own time and form.


What we give is what we receive, and what we wish to receive must first be offered.

This is the cycle of karmic entanglement—an ongoing loop until consciousness learns to create intentionally and with inner purity.
