Course XLII - Teaching 5: Light Blue Magic

Man uses Light Blue Magic to contact the hereafter, relatively nearby, as through not quite evolved dead persons, or more far away, through ancestors, invisible teachers, ruling entities, God.
The purpose of this magic is to request, to ask for.
All creeds practice this magic somehow differently, although just externally. But usually they lose the inner control, and certain creeds survive even after they lost practically all this essential part. Five indispensable parts of Light Blue Magic are as follows: 1st, Penitence; 2nd, Purification; 3rd, Confirmation; 4th, Vocalization; and 5th, Transformation.
Penitence consists in putting the physical body in the condition of contacting certain entity. It operates through fasting, and admits only certain foods.
Many times, fasting was not real in religious ceremonies. It was an external representation, and in fact, the officiant pretended that he was fasting. So, he would come up emaciated (after he covered his face with ashes).
In this first part, the corresponding element is earth, and can associate with black ornaments in the Roman ritual, which corresponds to the Mass for the faithful deceased.
Bear in mind this: spiritualists cannot contact high entities because they do not practice the indispensable penitence. Most times they do with beings of quite low evolution.
Purification. Inner cleaning is not sufficient. You must clean and wash yourself externally after penitence. Christian baptism is a remembrance of it. This baptism removes the stain of the original sin, that is, karmic needs that demand one’s reincarnation. Light blue magicians take a bath and wear white linen clothes. Perfumes used tend to attract entities, because perfume is an external form of cleaning. Self-perfuming is an emblem of purification.
In early Christian centuries, they celebrated the baptism in Easter, and for subsequent eight days, the newly-baptized wore a white robe as symbol of their purity. The Sunday after Easter, they took off their robes; thence this Sunday is called “in albis”.
Ornaments for the Easter time are white in the Roman Church.
In this second part, its corresponding element is: water.
Confirmation. One could say in so far the light blue magician just prepared himself and reached the foot of the altar. He climbs the stairs through Confirmation, which is his will re-affirmed. Those who are confirmed in Christ become soldiers through this Christian sacrament.
They climb stairs trodden by others –by those who sacrificed themselves before. There is certain relic of a martyr on every altar –symbol of the Sepulcher. That is why Martyrs are commemorated with red ornaments. In this part, the corresponding element is: fire.
Vocalization. They try to contact certain high entities through vibrations, which are mantrams, proper prayers. Here is valuable everything related to Prayer. Ornaments are green. Its corresponding element is: air.
Transformation. Here the officiant unites with the Entity. Externally, transformation is represented by a veil covering the priest while he consecrates the calyx. In Egypt, the priest would retire to a hidden chamber, in the presence of the High Entity, which was invisible to men. Apparently, after the priest receives the communication from the Master, he can address to men in the name of the Master and transmit the message. The priest is like a channel used by the Masters. Ornaments are purple. The element is: Ether.
