Today I am thankful for a former state Representative.
He taught me something last week.
I can't name him but I can share what he shared with me.
Christians fight evil with prayer.
Hmmmm.......
That's a new idea to me.
I think of the countless people who prayed in Nazi Germany - what good did it do them?
I had a Christian man pray for me. I had a bad morning. I was terrified that I would come home to dead children and my wacko ex. I was in tears and debating on taking a day off to go to the courthouse and get a restraining order.
A Christian man immediately stopped what he was doing and prayed for me.
No....my skin didn't burn and demons didn't cause me to writhe in pain.
I remembered what the former lawmaker said.
Don't act....just pray.
Fighting dark with light? That's a weird concept for me.
As a Pagan, I believe that black magick (evil) can only be fought with black magick (evil).
White magick (goodness) tends to be stronger than black magick. It just takes longer to take hold. It's not a good choice to use in a dangerous situation.
Black magick is powerful, quick and very short lived.
In many cases, Black magick is manipulative; It'll fail when the subject of the magick catches on or the truth comes out.
There have been times when I've used a combination of the two. As long as my intention is not evil but towards the betterment of all involved, the effects tend to be lasting. Manipulation also messes up gray magick. Doing anything that forces someone to take an action is black magick because it is manipulative.
Anything that robs a person of free will or is coercive is black magick. It is evil. In my mind, it is evil whether or not it is a spell, a law, an action - anything that one works to harm or manipulate another is evil. Some laws may as well be black magick.
Hmmm......
I am intrigued by the idea of fighting evil with goodness.
How does one ward off a stalker?
I think the prayers are working.
My ex took me off of the marital checking account (three years too late).
He promised to sign a Quick Claim Deed tomorrow (again three years after he was supposed to sign it).
I found a decent KeyScrambler (not sure if it will work with a hardware keylogger, though).
I found a way to defeat the Rolljam in the garage.
I'm still freaked out that keys went missing but it does seem that some progress has been made and I haven't had to light a candle.
Maybe, I'll try it the Christian way.
It's hard for me, though.
I believe in Jesus.
I believe Jesus is Horus.
I believe Jesus is Apollo.
I believe that God sent his son to many cultures who gave him many names.
I'm not sure my Jesus is the same Jesus that the Christians believe in.
I'd defend their religion to my death just as I defend my Muslim friends.
The propaganda towards Muslims is irritating. They often mix up religion with political regimes who use religion to control their people.
That's not the way it works. We don't blame all Christians due to the behavior of a few cult leaders, do we?
I had a Christan man claim that Allah is a moon goddess, so the religion is Satanic in nature.
In Paganism,
Isis is the Madonna.
She is the mother of Horus.
She is the moon goddess.
Ugh.....
I'm wondering if it is the worship of the feminine aspect that makes one Satanic in the eyes of Christians.
It's such an unbalanced religion.
I'll try solving this issue their way.....
I'll try fighting the darkness with light.
I'll let you know what happens.
Love ya,
S.
