First, let me explain that some of these questions might not seem to pertain to magic, but I assure you that they do and I will explain how once every one of them have been answered correctly.
1. What is the main thing that drives magic and allows an individual to actually accomplish their task? (Hint: Not belief and faith)
2. Is the Glass half empty or half full?
3. If a neighbor kills your dog and they too have a dog of their own, what do u do? Do you kill their dog or kill them(for this questions sake, you MUST choose one of the options presented)? Explain plz.
Three questions, simple enough, lets see how long it takes to get the answers I am lookin for... have fun...
Not too bad. Not quite the answer I was looking for on number 1, u are headed in the right direction though,here is another hint, where does that will come from? As for number two, wrong, but there is an actual answer that makes perfect sense once it is explained, but can u think of it? And the answer for number three was dead on! So lets keep this thing goin!
1. the mind all thoughts which form will come from the mind so
the saying put your mind to it and achieve anything YOU are
the most important magickal component
2. this depends in the indivdual a positive person will view it
half full whilst a negative person would view it half empty
hence the glass is both

correct to number 1...you are so close in ur answer to number two, but not quite there...here is a hint to number two. Do not think of this question in the sense that people normally apply it. The answer that I am looking for is a more non-traditional answer. Think of an answer that makes either way correct. Out of everyone that I have ever asked this question, only one person has ever gotten the same conclusion that I came to. My answer to is the glass half empty or half full actually managed to even elude the person that taught me about magic, but once I explained it to him, he said it made perfect sense! so good luck! Three more LOGICAL answers to this question and then the mystery will be revealed!
1. I don't know. I have no idea where any of it comes from. It's all about power, I guess, but where the power comes from for each individual person may vary. Who knows, really, what is inside themselves?
2. There is no glass. As such, it can be neither half empty nor half full. But in all seriousness, it's preposterous to try and decipher someone's entire personality based on a simple metaphorical glass.
3. I generally don't do well with either or type questions, as you may have already figured out. As such I cannot give a proper answer to this question. I'm sure an argument could be made for each, assuming that the dog was killed with malicious intent. If you killed the neighbor's dog, you are indirectly punishing them by making them feel loss. If you kill the neighbor, you are punishing them directly, albeit a bit harshly.
Like ur response to number 2 Aud, never heard that one. Since u managed to give me an answer that was unique, I will reveal my answer. Is the Glass Half empty or full? It actually depends, are your pouring water into it (half full) or drinking water out of it (half empty). Now I guess I must explain how these questions apply to magic. 1. Your mind is the main thing that drives magic, the same can also be said about prayer and what gives it power. To me, this is an understanding that is essential in a persons ability to grow in the art.
2. The majority of people do look at this question as whether u are an optimist, or pessimist but when you apply this question in a deeper sense to magic other ideas emerge. A person that sees the glass one way or the other will ultimately be limited in their full potential no matter if they see it as empty or full because they lack a total understanding of a situation. It represents seeing in either black or white with the average person and in magic too much darkness or too much light can have serious reprecussions. It is almost always better to stay more toward the middle (what I call gray). Just keep in mind, total understanding is always better than partial understanding.
3. When it comes to someone doing you wrong as a person and you actually seek revenge upon them, it is always best to avoid harming parties innocent in the crime that was committed against you because when you harm an innocent party it really makes you no better than them, not to mention u will probably have much worse karma to pay.
Well, if anyone has any comments on my explaination of the questions just let me know!
1. Will(emotions and desires) and mind (thoughts and actions) against the programmed brain.
2. A smaller glass is needed.
3. I am more compelled to kill the owner just because they are the cause and not their dog.
2. I think no matter if you say the glass is half or half empty its the same to me becuase either way its still not full. But when you think about it there is always room for improvement and me like everyone else i'm trying to "fill the glass". I don't know about you but my glass isnt filled to the top but if you ask out of the blue one day i might say half full or half empty its still the same in the sense just worded differently to make it look like there is two meanings.
3. I'd kill the dog becuase although the dog didnt hurt anyone his master did and i would want him to really feel the same pain. Becuase if i kill him then what he doesnt feel anything really as to i kill the dog he has to live with the death of his dog. And i know that doesnt make me any better thats fine it doesnt but i believe in revenge like it or not and hurting him the same way would make it easyer on the pain he caused me. (But personaly i hate dogs so i wouldnt really care lol)
