The tendency towards “black magic”

[EvolvingPhoenix]

The passage by Blavatsky sounds like some more if the same old bullshit to me. I dunno, maybe I wasn't reading it right or thinking enough about it, but it came across to me as another one of those bullshit assertions that spirituality amd physicality are dualistic and one must be picked over the other to get what you want put of either. I'm sick of spiritual ascetics telling us we need to disregard the matters and desires of the flesh to indulge in thw spiritual
It is pur physicality which grounds us here and if being grounded here had no higher spiritual purpose we would not be doing it. People always seem to get this cognitively in the abstract sense, but then continue to espouse stupid s*** that asserts we must disregard the material world and earthly desires for spiritual pursuit. I call BS.
