YOur welcome, Levitas. I am glad that the post was appreciated. I am not into theurgy in my magickal pracitce so I may not be the best person for you to bounce ideas off of--but I like to research and deconstruct stuff. I don't think of HGAs or other perceived entities as beings in and of themselves. I believe that they are either 1. projections for our own consciousness or 2. conscious entities that take the form and role of whatever we are able to imagine them to be or need them to be in relation to our own consciousness and psychology, which is limited by being part and parcel of a physical body and nervous system. I have had entities present themselves to me as guides through out my life under different conditions. Even though they have different forms and personalities, I kind of suspect that they may be all the same amorphous entity and that takes on the form and manner that I need it to so that I can then interact with it. Indeed, this is what God is considered to be in nondualistic Vedantic Hinduism.

Leaving aside those principles of magic that play on the superstitious and that, whatever they be, are unworthy of the general public, we will direct our thoughts only to those things that contribute to wisdom and that can satisfy better minds . . . -from De Magia by Giordano Bruno (born 1548; burned at the stake February 16, 1600).
