I've mentioned this like twice already, but I'm getting like an overload of curiousity.


How come everyone knows so much and are already doing rituals using complex disciplined methods at such a young age? (Under 25 is young to me)

I know that age is not a measurement of maturity and blah blah blah...

But like in reality..how does that work exactly?



(Now this might just be influenced by my complete insecurity as I've known about magick for soo long and have learnt near to nothing)

Say there's weakness in an empty pocket No, I'll tell you there's weakness in an empty heart
You say there's strength in the power to control No, There's strength in only love and compassion

Greetings,

Lets take a brief look at the life of Manly P. Hall. In his early 20's he traveled all around the world doing research into secret teachings in the 1920's. He used money loaned to him from investors. Still in his early 20's he published a book which is to this day an encyclopedia of ancient mythology, ritual, symbolism, and arcane mysteries.

This book is called The Secret Teachings of All the Ages.

Accomplishment should not be measured on a scale that includes a persons age. I have one student who just graduated High School and has taken off like a rocket in his knowledge after about a year of tutelage.

I know one young person of about 19 years who has one of the most learned occult minds that I have run into in quite some time.

I personally believe in reincarnation. I believe that knowledge gained in past life's can be retained in future life's. I believe that often when we learn something very naturally and quickly it is something that we most likely already learned in a past life. Also if you are studying the arcane in this life then chances are that you studied it in many previous ones.

Of course lets keep in mind that the old ones most likely have learned a thing or two in their present life. I have never had an old one as a mentor but the old Shamans I have locked minds with did grant me some pearls of wisdom in passing.

What is age? How long the current body has been alive? How old is a newborns soul? Why are some people geniuses and others imbeciles? If we can believe in reincarnation then we can also buy into Karma.

Of course not every one believes in such Eastern teachings. For persons of that mind I suggest that a young person of great learning has applied him or herself well.

Peace!
