Course XLII - Teaching 6: White Magic

White Magic differs from Light Blue Magic because one requests nothing.
White magicians belong to the White Brotherhood, whose mission is that of assisting Humanity, any man, of any race, sex or creed. Many times they have to fight other magicians. They try as much as possible to avoid worse evils, but sometimes their power is insufficient.
They are Initiates of Fire, who sacrifice themselves and come near to us in order to help in the physical plane. Sometimes they wear physical clothing. They work directly or through other beings. They work when a being is in great distress: when his life runs deadly risk, in case of unfair attack, or when his honor is in jeopardy. If the individual being does not claim for this help, it is so because, instead of being intensely sorrowful and afflicted, he deviates his suffering, for example, toward feelings of revenge, satisfaction of appetites, and so on.
White Magic follows necessarily five stages:
1st, ARRIVING. The magician receives the call, and comes directly or indirectly.
2nd, CONQUERING. He controls this man in distress, catches, overpowers, overcomes and understands him. 3rd , LOVING. The magician cannot fulfill his mission in the event that he does not love. He must feel very pure love, and be able to love, because he must love any person in need.
4th, SACRIFICING. But he cannot be tied to a loved being. He must renounce to love and put it aside after he provided his assistance.
5th, DISAPPEARING. It is essential. No tie should remain. The one who got the benefit will not know who helped him; he will know just that somebody, a man, an angel, has assisted him. Lohengrin reveals his own name and has to go.
