Well thanks for sharing your definition of 'seeing'. Yes its appears we use the word very differently. I think i shall stop using the word as i understood it. It makes communication very slippery otherwise.
As for 'white magic', that too is a semantic bag of knots.
I take it your are talking about assisting in spirtual evolution of an individual. If thats the case so brutal actions such as physical torture rape general abuse could be used to achieve the same ends. Surely those actions could also be used as white magic. And who is to say that helping a person bottom out into depression and sickness is not also helping their awareness to grow?
In my understanding when i read of people talking about white magic i usually translate that as 'trying to be nice and kind'.
This is why its good to talk. We can read each others entire belief systems in such simple phrases and understand how they organize their view of the world.
I can take the babel fish out of my ear now.
