"Solon, in the egoic world which you and I inhabit, NOBODY is impartial" That was my point. It seems pretentious to judge whether magic is "black" or "white" on such a subjective basis. Your previous comments were quite judgmental regarding the "black" and the "white" practitioners, but it is really just a matter of subjective opinion-right? "Only exceptions I know of are 7th Stage spiritual masters who have the vantage point of All and Everything." Who makes this claim? On what basis do you believe such an extraordinary claim? "Is there something perverse about trusting the former more than the latter?" I was only curious. I don't know that "perverse" expresses your trust. I guess I found it curious that you would have any difficulty trusting divine authority. But perhaps you do not believe the bible is divinely inspired? You appear to trust (almost venerate) percival, but you did not know him for a number of years in order to judge him trustworthy or reliable. After all, he died in 1953. So again...your rationale for discrimination eludes me at the moment. Where claims are equally grandiose, you seem to prefer those of modern vintage. There is nothing wrong with that, of course. But you clearly trust the words of Percival more than the words of Exodus, and I cannot imagine that you have any personal contact with any of the authors involved. Just an observation... "Here is a quote from THINKING & DESTINY. I gave you the URL for the online book earlier:" See...this is what I'm getting at. You seem to trust "Thinking and Destiny", but do you know the author any more intimately than you know the author of Exodus? "My gig is the Realization of Real God" What do you mean by this? You capitalized "realization" and "real". Does this mean you are creating a non-dictionary meaning for those words? Earlier you commented thusly: "in the egoic world which you and I inhabit, NOBODY is impartial. EVERYBODY is coming at EVERYTHING from their own point of view." Why then do you now suggest (or seem to) that realization of Real is other than a personal bias? As to your use of "gig"; ordinarily this connotes an entertainment or performance. In any case, you consider this Realization? to be your job--correct? Do you receive some consideration for this work, or is it done for future compensation?
