So many of you are out there looking to be whole, wanting to be perfect, trying to live within the Higher self you were meant to. To be only pure and clean and lightfilled.
I hate to tell you this but it just aint never gonna happen! Nope no way sorry! I don’t care how many seminars you go to, how many cleansing you pay for or how many soul retrievals you have, your never gonna lose that dark side.
Why cause it’s a part of you, as surely as the light side. You were created in perfect balance and born with both a front and back, it is from this that your perfection comes. You must learn to balance both front and back, black and white, positive and negative, aligned energies and mis-aligned. For that is the true magick, balance, harmony and self control. You can not rid yourself of either side and expect to attain the needed qualities to lift yourself to the higher perfect self.
Inside you lies all colors of being from lightfilled to the darkest blackest void that one could ever feel. It is all a part of you and none can be cut out, with out loosing a vital part of the self. Yet what you must do is to concede that such energies exist with in you and make choices as to work within the lighted half. To advance the soul and the essence as best you can. Remember we can only do as good as where we are evolved in life, as we grow and learn more we do better. So do not look back and say "oh how bad I have been", you did the best you could for the time we were at in your life. Now look forward and say "What is the best choices I can make at this moment in time with all that I know" Work out of that perspective and expect only good things. Accept nothing less than the very best from the universe and it will give it to you, for you are the key to the balance and your energy returns what it sends out.
Now lets address the Wiccan Rede
So many of you strive to live by the Wiccan Rede and the words within that say "Harm Ye None" These are wise and admirable words and I agree with them with all my heart. One should never start a fight or initiate the hurt of another. Yet there are words that follow in the Wiccan Rede that people tend to forget. They say "Lest in Self Defense it be, ever mind the rule of three" What this says is that you don’t always have to be the down trodden one, the martyr. You don’t have to be helpless if you are being hurt, you can strike back. You can invoke whatever events you feel are equal to what was done to you. Here karma allows for you to balance the situation before it steps in. You are in charge and are not only able, but have the right to defend your self, your honor and those you love without the fear of the law of 3 coming back on you (law of three what ever you put out in to the universe comes back on you 3 to 10 times) Self defense is allowed!!!!
Does Self Defense make me work in the Gray light?
No it is simply your right to defend yourself. There are no levels of color in magick, there are only conscious choices a person makes to either advance the soul/spirit or not. If one chooses to work only in magick that is greedy and causes pain and is hurtful then that soul becomes twisted and does not advance. If a persons choice is to do the best they can and work with the intent of love and caring but also understands they can defend themselves as needed then they are working towards growing. The soul becomes more and more enlightened and they advance in a positive way. Such choices are highly personal and must be respected for each individual is on their own personal journey and are learning at their own rate of speed. We can offer advice and share our teaching with them but in the end it is still their choice and soul/spirit.
Conclusion
So when you are thinking about what it is inside you that drives you and that makes you up to be the person you are remember that you are a multi faceted unique soul. That you are both dark and light. Velvet blackness and the vivid brilliant light of creation and as such you can work within a multitude of perspectives. That the essence of you is all things and the evolution of your spirit/soul rests on your ability to accept this and to work in a conscious manner to the positive higher self.
Blessing on your journey
