On the contrary, siddhis are associated with reaching a certain level of
spiritual development on your way to enlightenment.
Directing "prana" for any purpose -- including that of altering your
state of consciousness -- is simply what it is. You direct prana when
you digest food, you direct it when you continue to breathe, you direct
it when you walk. You direct it when you sit at your computer and type
messages to this list. Directing prana for "magical" purposes is no
different from directing it for "mundane" purposes.

Hi
Tuning in here on the fly, just to say, it seems to me that prajna is
intrinsic to all we do. How do you *feel* about what you do? Why the need
to direct...? (some of us just want to act :) If you believe an action or
direction to be evil (not-good), then the energy is dissociated (even
though focussed). I was in a rather immature magical Lodge many many years
ago, and it semed to me that we spent an inordinate amount of time slagging
off the other Lodges, assigning to them various shades of dubious darkness
and black. Oh, the fun we had being superior. Consequently we avoided
seeing our own stuff in our projections onto them. Our own energy was
consequently less effective, except perhaps to bring up stuff that we were
afraid of and needed to deal with (unwillingly).
That said, there is much literature on the honing of intent in order to
increase concentration and personal one-pointedness. I guess then that for
a while it is a necessary illusion to focus on a limited field of reality
and exclude the rest. But then to let it go...

Labeling certain types of action as "black magic" (or "left-hand",
instead of "right-hand") is just a thinly-disguised attempt to say "My
way is better than your way", in the hopes of discouraging behavior
that challenges consensus reality.

Nowadays I look at things like this in the light of my own innocence (read:
naivete): where my attention goes will be empowered - and I'm not afraid of
where that is, because whatever comes of that will teach me about the area
I focus on, and my take on it. If I feel the need to control (prajna,
people, myself) then the lessons will reflect this need. To me, prajna is
to have and not to hold. For its own sake.
Love
Rob
