The Power Trap
When one reads about the practice of Magic or the Occult, the warnings are always made plain – you use Demons, Beings or Powers at your own risk. Always you are told to look to your protection, to make sure you understand what you are getting into deeply enough so you know how to defend against those on whom you call.
But if anything about my speculations is correct or even close to Truth, those delving into the Deep to find power may not have been able to reach for knowledge before they tapped the lower realms. Or they may have been desperate enough to take a risk.
Imagine being there – imagine having a wonderful civilization where people had meaningful lives, where a society was whole-mindedly on a path to Immortality of Beingness, and perhaps as one mind, was working through to the Knowledge needed to help complete the task for which all life was created.
Then around them, they see their world failing. They can no longer reach out as far, maybe can’t ‘perceive’ each other as well. Perhaps it becomes possible for perfect communication to fail, where once they could instantly know what each thought and felt, now they had to struggle and sometimes failed to grasp meaning.
As one, they unite across the world, organizing all these wonderful minds to search all the possibilities for answers. Imagine the psychic, almost visceral shockwave to hit when the Pyramid blew the circuit and suddenly they are without even the physical power they thought so constant.
Under such a scenario, it isn’t hard to think of someone getting so desperate that they reach into what seems like an inexhaustible power source, maybe knowing but downplaying the risks, confident they could deal with anything that came at them, all so they could help provide salvation for their world.
They may not even have known initially how badly they failed, how large a wound they gave to our world.
