In my former discussion of Lewis’ book, Mental Poisoning, which I quoted previously, he makes a claim about the impossibility of utilizing spiritual practices to effect a change that is propelled by a destructive or negative desire to cause such an effect in another person or situation.

            In fact, I will quote it again:

            But to the mystic and to the student of Cosmic law and order the belief in such a process of destructive power controlled by any individual is inconsistent, impossible and truly sacrilegious, and the true mystic and student of Cosmic law is alone capable of rendering judgment in such a case in such a manner. His knowledge and his experience with divine Cosmic principles enables him to realize and to thoroughly understand that no such process of transmission of destructive energy or power in any thought form between one individual and another or between one individual and a group of individuals would be possible without the conscious approval, aid and dependable assistance of the universal consciousness and divine spirit that pervades all space and acts as a medium for the transmission of thought waves, light waves, energy wavers, or waves of any kind.

                        This is clearly restated in Rosicrucian Principles where Lewis talks about “white magicians” who create manifestations “free from evil and free from any destructive nature” also affirming the power they use is from “God Consciousness,” a force that is incapable of that which is evil or that which is destructive. He further says unequivocally in this book that-

            -we cannot mentally create or bring these things into materialization in the mystical manner by which good and constructive things will come into material form when created by the cosmic power of the mind.

                        And even further clearly states that evil things can only come about when-

            -we labor with the grossly material elements and bring them into irrational, illogical and unnatural relationship in order to make them manifest in evil in the material form.

                        This means that black magic does not work by virtue of the primordial goodness that lies behind all things in the form of Cosmic or God Consciousness.
            Although I am from Haiti, I am not going to comment here on the validity of his claim about the limitations of evil manifestation- except to say if that is true, he would put a lot of voodoo practitioners, witches and warlocks and military remote viewers who have a strong belief in the reality of such activities- completely out of business. I am, of course, not talking about the ‘white magicians’ that, of course, receive the full blessings of the Cosmic for their mental alchemy.

                        My question is not whether it is true or not but why do the monographs include such practices if they are impossible to put into action because they assuredly do?
