There are things that are beyond my comprehension. I am more scientific in my attitude and not much superstitious. But then I can't totally nullify and ignore things that don't make sense for me or are beyond my human comprehension. We keep hearing about black magic practices. We have stories about them and we even see them in movies and shows. What's your stand on the same? Do you believe in it?
I personally feel that universe is all about energy and how different energies interact with each other. Black magic might be those negative energies interacting with each other.

Your perspective on the universe as a system of interacting energies is an interesting and widely held view, especially in various philosophical and metaphysical theories. From a scientific standpoint, however, black magic doesn’t have empirical evidence to support its existence or effects. It’s often discussed in cultural, psychological, and sociological contexts rather than scientific ones.

1. **Cultural and Historical Context:**
- Black magic has been part of human culture for centuries, appearing in folklore, religious texts, and oral traditions. Its prevalence across different cultures suggests that it serves certain purposes, such as explaining the unexplainable or providing a sense of control over life's uncertainties.

2. **Psychological and Social Factors:**
- The belief in black magic can have real psychological effects on individuals and communities. Fear or conviction in such practices can influence behaviors and perceptions, potentially leading to psychosomatic symptoms or changes in social dynamics.
- The placebo and nocebo effects illustrate how belief and expectation can impact human experiences, sometimes attributing outcomes to supernatural causes.

3. **Energy Perspective:**
- While you mention the universe being about energy interactions, scientific understanding of energy doesn’t currently encompass supernatural phenomena like black magic. However, the idea that negative thoughts or intentions might influence one's life aligns with certain philosophies, like the Law of Attraction, though these are not scientifically proven.

4. **Media and Popular Culture:**
- Movies and television shows often portray black magic in ways that amplify fear and mystery. These representations can shape public perceptions, sometimes blurring the line between myth and reality.

Ultimately, belief in black magic tends to hinge more on personal, cultural, or spiritual perspectives rather than scientific evidence. It's completely normal to find certain aspects of existence beyond comprehension, and exploring these areas can lead to greater insights into human belief systems and cultural practices.

For someone like me who is from an African origin, I will tell you very well that black magic is something that is very real as day and night. If you haven't experienced it, you will be doubting it but the day you are going to have an encounter with black magic, you will know how real it is.

@Heatman. I have never doubted anything that is beyond my comprehension. Black magic is a part of most of the cultures around it. And it has been since ages. And I am pretty sure that it exists in the current modern societies too. I have seen that happening in subtle way if not profound like evils eye, if someone is really jealous and not well wishing for your success and accomplishments. I avoid sharing my things with them. It's all the negative energy vibes that we get.

It sounds like you're describing experiences and beliefs that many people resonate with across different cultures and societies. The concept of negative energy and the idea of protecting oneself from it, such as through the belief in the evil eye, is common in various traditions. It often serves as a way to explain or navigate interpersonal dynamics and feelings of jealousy or ill will.

In modern times, while some people may interpret these experiences through a lens of superstition or spiritual belief, others might look at it from a psychological or sociocultural perspective. For instance, feeling negative energy could be akin to sensing non-verbal cues or picking up on social tensions that impact our well-being.

Regardless of how one views it, taking steps to protect one's emotional and mental health, whether by avoiding negative influences or seeking supportive relationships, is important. It's also crucial to find a balance between being cautious and remaining open to positive interactions and growth. If you find that these experiences significantly impact your life, talking to someone about them, whether a friend, therapist, or spiritual advisor, might provide additional support and insight.

Black magic is real but I am of the belief to only understand what I know. I have seen some videos about black magic, that's when I know it's real. I don't put my heart or mind ont hinges that's way more higher than me.

It's understandable to feel curious or cautious about topics like black magic, which often have cultural, historical, and psychological dimensions. Many people have different beliefs and interpretations about such practices, influenced by their cultural backgrounds, personal experiences, and the media they consume.

If you're interested in learning more about these topics, it might be helpful to approach them from a perspective of understanding different cultural beliefs and practices. Reading reputable sources, speaking with knowledgeable individuals, or studying anthropology and folklore can offer deeper insights into the origins and significance of these beliefs.

It's also important to maintain a healthy skepticism and critical thinking approach, especially when encountering sensationalized content online. Understanding what you know and being open to learning more is a balanced way to engage with complex subjects.

I have seen them too in various movies and some videos too. It's intriguing as well as scary. But I would not go into exploring it more. I would rather try to stay away. Things don't seem very right for me in black magic. It has so much negativity associated with it. I would rather keep a distance from it and not know it all. Magic for me should be something with positive energy and good beautiful outcomes. Most black magic practices are used to bring something bad to others.
