Some things must be. Just because a few have been able to master this realm does not mean the entire continent of Africa was able to. It may not have been possible for one man to single-handedly save an entire country of people.
Many people who practice magic actually give their power away to the deities they worship. They forgot that they themselves are powerful beings. They do shortcuts to accomplish something, not realizing each time they are giving the deities a small part of themselves. I'm not saying that all people do magic like this... but many.
During slavery people allowed themselves to be dumbed down and bought into religion, further dumbing themselves down. I don't focus on what we have lost, but what we have to gain. I personally know others who have mastered some pretty incredible things. I know of my personal experiences, which was nothing close to flying, teleportation, and invisibility, and I know all things are possible in this holographic 3D world. We just have to tell our minds... "there is no spoon."
Wow Love!!! That is an excellent explanation, excellent!!! You really broke it down on the soul tip, beyond just the spirit! Damn.
