“Whether there is a difference between soul and consciousness, and what kind?”
Of course, there is a difference. The soul is an informational structure, it is eternal and indivisible. It passes from one incarnation to another, it is a parcel of god’s consciousness. The consciousness is the result of the soul’s activity.
“What can cause a lack of power and energy for magical practice, and how can it be restored?”
There can be several reasons for this. They fall into two categories: external and internal. The internal reasons have to do with a kind of blockage within the consciousness that prevents the passage of certain currents of powers on which the magical discipline is based. The external reasons are caused by processes when currents are blocked intentionally or due to some fatal situation in the outside world.
“In the US, for several generations now, it has been customary to circumcise baby boys right after birth, pretty much all of them. A boy is born, gets circumcised, and then returns back to his mom.

Egoism is something that accentuates, something that puts an internal emphasis on things – on what is important and what is not. What is more important, myself or the world?
“A desire is just an emotion, an inner yearning, or simply a whim. In that case, can the goal also be a desire transformed into the actions taken in order to achieve what is desired?” A desire is a person’s greatest treasure. And it’s a great gift of the human mind. Through desires, we are capable of changing reality, creating magic, and performing miracles.
“You frequently mention that witches and sorcerers are not exactly human. What do you mean by that?” Every person you see, every person you can call a human is understandable and not dangerous as long as he doesn’t change. We don’t like people who are susceptible to change.
“My current goal is to build relationships with people of another culture. Right now, I’m being perceived more as a stranger. What principles of interaction with other cultures should I consider on the magical level to make them trust me and be perceived as one of them, or as a friend?”

“About a year ago, a company that failed to pay me what it owed went bankrupt. Does this mean that, by law, they owe me nothing? What does bankruptcy mean for both parties involved from a magical perspective?”

The Fiery, Etheric World is a process of creating something, and the natural phenomenon that arises from such an elemental combination also speaks of processes, but says nothing about the results—they can vary greatly and be perceived in many different ways.
