All you need is love? Rubbish. Projecting loving thoughts at a murderous
psychopath does not stop him reaching for the meat-axe. [...]

Thanks for this provocative post. I feel provoked.

I agree with you under normal conditions and I can see your point of view.
If HP were an ordinary novel you'd be quite right, but I'm sticking to my
theory that HP is not a fictional story but an allegory on how to go the
Path of Liberation.

No, I agree, loving thoughts sent by an unliberated person wouldn't stop a
murderous psychopath. But things are totally different when one is
liberated. 

In his fifth year Harry has liberated his mental ego. Voldemort can no
longer possess Harry's mind because of the love in his heart. 

In his sixth year Harry will liberate his emotional ego, situated in the
heart, obviously. My theory (and it really is only a theory) is that this
means that Harry will be able to open his heart to Divine Love totally. It
will become a powerful magic force that he can consciously use. I don't know
exactly how JK Rowling will turn this into a story, but if the coincidences
with the Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosencreutz continue, it probably
means that Harry will be able to open the Room of Love and, to put in into
the AW terms, "behold Lady Venus". Harry will gain mastery over "a force
that is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than human
intelligence, than the forces of nature."

In other words, Harry will be able to expel Voldemort not only from himself,
but also from others, including his enemies. The power of his love will be
so intense that it can radiate far outside of himself.

I want to provide some evidence of this force. I found an article written in
a magazine published in the Netherlands in 1946. ("Nieuwe Religieuze
Orientering") It was written by a person whom I suspect is quite advanced on
the road of liberation. The name of the article is, "Love your Enemies" (a
quote from the Sermon on the Mount in the New Testament for those who don't
know). I would like to provide you with a translation which, to my mind,
proves my theory. 

"...In February 1941 I was seated opposite an ober-oberfhrer of the
Gestapo. I had been arrested! (The author had written an article a warning
against NAZISM - Hans) He had a handsome, regular face, light blue eyes. The
photos of his wife and children stood on his desk. He was an absolutely
normal person. There was nothing evil, nothing bestial about him. He looked
at me and I looked back at him. We smiled at each other. For a moment we saw
the tragic humour of the situationand then, suddenly, it came. His eyes
became fixed and the pupils widened. He was being overshadowed. His throat
was being controlled. This can always be discerned by an unnecessary rising
and falling of the voice and a total change in sound. His head was bent
slightly forward as if he were being gripped in the neck. I understood. This
man was being possessed. He himself was pushed into the background and what
was talking to me was the spirit in the background: the roaring black beast.
I shoved aside my resistance and the reason why I was there, and I was
filled with an intense compassion for this Mr ober-ober thingy. While a
torrent of abuse and vituperation were being poured out over me, I prayed
for this peculiar enemy and wrapped him in the light of the Rosycross. And
his possession left him. He shook himself like a wet poodle. My strange
enemy returned to normal and became himself again. I had seen and heard my
enemy. I had resisted and defeated my enemy; I had driven him away. But my
enemy was not the ober-fhrer. It was someone else. This German man was just
a victim because of the special quality of German blood. He was hereditarily
burdened, a sick man. Did you know that Hitler was possessed?..." The author
states further on that he was never again contacted by the Gestapo.

This to me proves that Liberation above all liberates one from hatred, fear
and ignorance. 

JK Rowling has said that she doesn't believe in ordinary magic, but she does
believe in the magic of love. That really is the understatement of the
century. This is not a question of "Away with this namby-pamby redemption
through the power of love! Can you think of anything more Mills and Boon?
More adolescent fantasy? Ugh!" to quote Kneasy, but the undeniable reality
of Love as a magic force more wonderful and more terrible than death, than
human intelligence, than the forces of nature. And I add: than hatred, than
the greatest evil. And this is the inheritance promised to us if we succeed
in going the Path of Liberation!
