Franz Bardon was an adept who lived in Europe in Czechoslovakia.
About the Author(the legend) : These books describe the path of the WHITE MAGIC - together with introspection and as a servant of the divine ( but as a carrier of light, still with a human EGO : Ahamkara ) Some ten years a swedish magician who now lives in vienna found a key of letters that translates the angel-names of Franz Bardon into old names of stars in the sky. So it can seem that there are mistakes in the books of Franz Bardon. But it can be too that the old names have this secret key. Translating the Quabbala-book with this key would be a fatal error. Franz Bardon says that these names and seals are preliminary , and the genius gives new ones after the first direct contact. It should not be forgotten, that these angels live on the mental plane which is one of the four worlds of Maya and which should not be changed with entities like the four divine archangels.
Franz Bardon defines Karma Yoga as "to do good deeds" - but Sri Krishna says
in the Bhagavad - Gita :" Good deeds done at the wrong place are not good deeds."
So the adept will have to develop higher wisdom than human wisdom.
A demonstration of impossible things that are possible with occult magic is the SHOW of a David Copperfield who is (from my sight) a master - adept and not just a stage - magician. Copperfield said in the 90s openly that not he himself but his ghosts do these magic effects. Of course he is not the only master-adept on stage. The main problem of magic are many occultists who do not practice introspection, the black adepts and the black masters who both abuse their forces (siddhis like "dragpo") against mankind and for their personal aims. Occult abilities like clearvoiance and reading of the thoughts
of others or the use of occult forces would be an attraction for many people
who would hardly be able to resist to the possibility of the abuse of such new possibilities.
What have Franz Bardon and the White Magic common with the UNIVERSAL PATH ? The spiritual path and the path of white magic go almost parallel until step 14 of the UNIVERSAL PATH. In the CHEOPS -PYRAMID this magic knowledge was symbolized as the middle path into the small chamber. The steps 1-6 are equivalent with control of thoughts,
, introspection and removal of big desires and passions as described
in his book "Initiation into Hermetics".
On this follows a broad developement on the mental plane and in the Akasha and a kind similar to divination. But this is not a developement in the astral plane ! ( Out of this reason only few people pass the weighing of the third day of the "Chymic wedding" of Cristian Rosenkreutz. ) Later the "magician of the spheres" or the Quabbalists can of course receive the necessary knowledge of the methods of divination, ie. step 15-20 of the UNIVERSAL PATH, for example with quabbalistic methods. The Problem of the occult magician is that he works with the forces of the 3 lower planes, with material, astral and mental forces, who are indirect forces of Maya and which are under control of the individual small Ego (Ahamkara, Mahat). These forces lead to a separatist attitude and bring about a state which nourishes the personality. Therefore is his natural aspiration also worldly and he only can "escape" through practice of Introspektion as servant of the divine providence.The soul energy, the true higher individuality, can so not develop and appear, even if he is aligned positively. OFirst on the trial path, has the aspirant freed from the direct influence of Maya. The motivation of most magicians is therefore the acquisition of occult skills for personal purposes, without practice of introspection, and so walks the majority of the magicians more or less on the black path of personality, which dies on the spiritual path at latest on step 19. The white Adept reaches erverything through his willpower, and so he is a master of the first ray.
