The Qabala is not a system of magic, but can be used in that way. It is the study of the "Tree of life" a glyph that maps out the universe so to
speak, relationships between powers so to speak. The physical/hell realms as you call them are but the lowest rung of the ladder, there being ten in all with
the unknowable beyond that. The realms of Magic are included in the entire scheme but are a small portion of the entire Tree.
There are different forms of magic and different souces of Power. There is Mysticism which attempts always to go "to the source of things. There are
higher and lower Astral light Realms. There are realms of physical and lower realms.
I do not mess with magic. I meditate and seek understanding and wisdom. My teacher was a healer, he was interested in power for that purpose and also wisdom
and understanding.
The value of the study of the Tree is to know where to go to find what you are looking for. I seek answers and experience. Without that how would I know what
to do with power?
"As far as energetic transmissions go, I think that if you just let yourself feel the nature of the message, your body knows who sent it."
I think that is true to some extent, but I also use the stories of the Patriarchs, the teachings of Jesus and Paul as guides.
If all things don't "jibe", I know there is something wrong.
My teacher was an aeronautical engineer before he was a minister. He used the analogy that the Bible was the engineer's handbook and the Qabala was his
slide rule.
It is actually one system, each explains and enhances the other.

I am glad that you are on this site as your words speak truth to my spirit. I too believe that a variety of forms of power exist, but have chosen to use and
side with the power of God and of light...ONLY! Though written words on the page, I feel spiritually alligned with the words you have penned. Thank you.
