I said that But what I meant was, and you completely took it out of context here, was that we stalk the magnetic pull of others who would take our attention into their realm of perceiving. As sorcerers we maintain link with spirit, and we do so in a world where those who are not are is biding for attention. And this is so even among warriors as it takes a good while for each warrior to be clear of conditioning, but at least with warriors they talk the same language and understand far more then if you tried talking to someone else.
Yes, I actually knew it was you who said it, but since that really wasn't the gist of my point, I didn't think it was necessary to go into a lot of background explanation. I wasn't picking on you, in other words - just saying that trying to talk to phantoms about sorcery never ends well. LOL. Obviously we both know that, so to me this is a non-issue. Also, for the record, there has been a recent discussion in another private forum I visit about this same topic, and I suspect some of the same participants are here. One person maintains that it is a warrior's "obligation" to try to "inject some light" into the world at large, and my stance is that such behaviour is altogether based in self-importance and the false belief that we can change other people. So in some ways, my comments here are an expansion on what has been discussed elsewhere. My bad. Mea culpa. So sorry. Seriously, though, no harm intended.
