possible while he still can. He then stays away until he has regained the Chi energy he lost in the
confrontation. He realizes that if he tempts luck by repeatedly waging warfare against a more skilled
sorcerer, it could prove to be his undoing.
Watching an Enemy s Funeral Procession Pass By. There is a principle of Chinese military
strategy that advises a person to use intelligence when confronting a superior power. A magician fighting
a more powerful opponent can put this principle into practice by patiently working at his rituals until he
causes his enemy's demise. Afterward, his satisfaction will be heightened if he sits at his door and watches
his enemy's funeral procession pass by, knowing that he destroyed his opponent without having to
become involved in a physical confrontation.
This is the highest method of defeating an enemy.
The Esoteric Importance of Rulers. A ruler does not sit on the throne just because he is brave,
talented, or rich. He rules because Heaven wishes him to rule. When a bad ruler comes into power, it is
only because Heaven wants to punish the population for their misdeeds.

Part Five
All the same, most natural and manmade catastrophes occur in countries whose rulers have broken
the rules of Heaven. When rulers lose their sense of right and wrong, they invariably bring ruin and
disgrace upon their subjects.
Avoiding the Company of Unbelievers. The human mind is very powerful and an individual who
is unwilling to believe in something will not be swayed by argument alone. If he thinks that trash is gold
then gold it is, and vice versa. If he believes that sorcery is mere superstition, he will ridicule its principles
even if he is presented with evidence that proves the contrary.
Sorcerers avoid skeptics who insult their beliefs and rituals, no matter what their detractor's gender,
profession, or economic power.
After Mass the Priest Is Forgotten. Some magicians refuse to help others because they know that
people are ungrateful. When desperate, hexed individuals seeking help promise many things to a magician
but after his rituals have brought matters to a satisfactory conclusion, they often renege on their promises.
They may even threaten to throw their benefactor in jail in order to recover any payments made
beforehand, arguing that the problem would eventually have been solved anyway. After all, the sorcerer
can never offer any tangible proof of the services he has rendered. However, it is not advisable to
antagonize a sorcerer. A disgruntled magician could cast a curse on his clever customers that is much
worse than the original one. And again, there will be no tangible evidence of his actions.
Minister of Sorcery. Sorcery is a powerful weapon and a magician who understands its principles
wields as much power as a government minister. A magician cannot only defeat others, he can also defeat
whole countries and cause more damage than an entire army.
Fortunately for mankind, the number of Chinese magicians with this kind of power can be counted
on the fingers of one hand.
Heaven Is Not Deaf. When a magician has problems, he will not make them go away just by
keeping them close to his heart, he must seek the help of the gods. If he does not reveal his grief to the
gods, how are they going to help him? Besides, if nothing else, he will feel better just by sharing his
troubles with gods who can understand his plight.
The Advantage of Knowing Sorcery. Most witchcraft victims do not know enough about sorcery
to be able to defend themselves. They have to seek the advice and help of professional sorcerers. But paid
sorcerers have too many clients to be able to concentrate on the problems of just one person. Another
concern is that a hired magician may save a person's life today but kill him tomorrow if it is in his best
interest. He already has all the vital information needed to attack his victim, such as his name and birth
date.
On the other hand, a person who does his own rituals will fight with unparalleled spirit for the simple
reason that his own life is at stake. He will be able to act without delay and to alter his rituals to suit any
change in his situation. This cannot be done by a stranger who is fighting his battles for money. After all,
time may be of the essence and spilled water cannot be retrieved.
Affinity of Spirit. If a magician is to do his best to help a victim get rid of a malignant spell, he
must first feel some sort of affinity of spirit with the person. The affinity or dislike that one person feels
for another is a result of the relationships they shared in past lives. If a sorcerer does not feel good about
a victim of a spell, or a doctor about his patient, or a teacher about his student, he may be reluctant to
provide assistance and his help will be perfunctory at best.
When a person has been refused help by a magician, he will think of magic as a crop that can be seen
but not harvested.

Sorcery Principles: Rituals Change but Do Not Create Things
Incredulous People. Since life is very harsh for most individuals, experience has taught them not
to believe that a person is sincere unless he has proven himself through action. Therefore, when they hear
about the existence of divine punishments and rewards, they naturally doubt that they are really meted
out by the gods. But if a magician is to be effective, he must have complete confidence in his method even
if his ceremonies do not produce immediate results. Afterward, when the effects of his rituals become
evident even to the blind, his faith in Heaven will be unshakable.
False Gods. Contrary to what ordinary men think, true gods walking on earth are virtuous
individuals who can punish evil spirits while alive and will become divinities in Heaven after they die.
They do not become gods because of public relations, but because of the good deeds they have done
during many reincarnations.
A true human god understands the meaning of life and is grateful to be a human being, not another
type of life form. He also knows how to change people's destiny for the better.
The Value of Chinese Sorcery. If given enough money, anyone can buy large amounts of gold and
precious stones. The same amount of money, however, will not guarantee the purchase of even a single
ritual of Chinese sorcery.
Good sorcerers value their methods more than gold, for the power of currency is not remotely
comparable to the power of effective rituals. Besides, people with gold have a difficult time hiding their
wealth, while Chinese sorcery is an invisible and weightless treasure whose principles can be memorized
and carried in the sorcerer's mind where no one else can see them.
Death Has Many Faces. In this strange world, it is easier to kill others than to help them, and this
can be done in many ways. Powerful people kill with their signatures, unfair policemen by twisting facts
and condemning the innocent, loan sharks by exacting repayment at the most inopportune moments,
employers by firing the parents of sick or hungry children, and heartless landlords by throwing tenants
out into the cold. Some, like executioners, are even paid to kill others.
Sorcerers also kill by casting invisible spells, but their actions leave no obvious tracks. Therefore, when
compared to other men who are capable of effecting drastic changes, a sorcerer has no equal.
Witchcraft Battles. During a metaphysical battle, many tactics of warfare are employed. If a [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
