One of the things that turn off young seekers after truth is the tendency of magick to be subtle. Once again, Hollywood lies to us, portraying Magi as powerful to the point of being able to huck around lightning with impunity.
I am so very sorry to pop your bubble, but just because something is magick, doesn't exempt it from the thermodynamics. Why should spiritual energy be any different from any other kind of energy? Magick is almost always subtle, mainly because it doesn't require flash in order to work, and having the flash there only makes the energy requirements that much greater. This is not to say that you can't or won't see some serious shit in the course of your career, but very often, it's simply not going to break wide like it does in the movies. The most energy I have ever personally handled opened up all my chakras, but unless you know how to see auras, you wouldn't even perceive that. Granted, from the inside, it felt unbelievably good, almost felt like someone cracked open the top of my head and poured light inside. I had a number of unplanned erections for about a week afterward and my senses were razor keen for about as long.
Which sort of begs the question: If spiritual energy follows the same rules as regular energy, do souls count as electromagnetic weak force? When we expire and lose the rumored twenty-one grams of mass from our bodies, where does the energy go? Do we return to the world as ambient energy? Is "heaven" or "hell" merely a lesser concentration of energy that we are drawn to? Or are they the batteries from which we leaked into THIS world? Is the lightning in the sky made of souls? Are the hearts of stars made up of our dying energy? Thermodynamics states the energy is neither created nor destroyed.
Are human souls part of a constant chain of changes? I, personally, like to think so. It also tends to point up the reason why certain places have an energy of their own, and why certain places tend to be haunted and others are not.
We rub off on the world in a myriad of ways. We leave traces behind us in our everyday lives. And some places witness the loss of life by violence. Emotions and power rips open the usual run of things and you see a soul, stuck in its transition, imprinted on the surroundings. Sometimes they stay stimulated for a long time. Other times, they fade away. And if it's right on a ley line, well, all bets are off.
I wonder if there is a monograph in trying to create a unified field theory of spiritual energy...
