He is a very capable and exceptional magician, Yes, he is human and he as anyone else, make mistakes but he is not a beginner. Everyone seems to be giving him advices or pointing the incident as if he was not capable of doing it well.<br />My support on him in this case, is not to be solidary on what happened to him. I already show my solidarity even though it was just a post on his blog. My support to him this time, is to remind all of the people that he's a good magician, so...please don't let's get lost in the translation anymore.<br />Another thing I disagree (I'm not an expert whatsoever) is the fact that some people want to "psychologize" magic, saying that these are "parts or complex of fomeones's personality". These are independent beings, they are DEMONS that have their own existence so therefore, they do exist and they are real. I don't care if you believe in God or not, the truth is that a third part of the creation were these beings, the so called "fallen angels". Don't confuse the fact that the magician has to get a certain level of conciousness to achieve the communication with these beings, with trying to "psychologize" the reality saying that these spirits are "part of the magician's compexes" or whatever psychological problems do you want to point at.<br />RO is not a beginner, but now it seems that everyone wants to give him advice on what he does it well: magic.Frater VLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619107821232308608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-75181704771885745212010-03-08T20:56:25.707-05:002010-03-08T20:56:25.707-05:00I cant tell from this.

But again, to have a plan, to be capable of telling the Demon you have to go from A to C passing first through B and giving me that by means of XYZ, reduces the risks.<br /><br />MarcusMARCUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866427008122246600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-75781866669377535062010-03-08T17:36:35.609-05:002010-03-08T17:36:35.609-05:00I love this post.
