Perhaps the following coversation on Advaita (Non - Dualism)a right fit in over here................
Devotee: But Swami, what I wanted to ask is “Do I have an individual higher Self? Is there an individual higher Self that is specifically related to me?”
Sai Baba: The individual exists only in your imagination, in your mind. It is just an illusion. It is not real. When the one Self is everywhere, when it is one without a second, then where is the individual? Only in your imagination. The Self alone is real. Realise it.
Devotee: Swami, is there really no higher being related uniquely to this body, judging me or guiding me?
Sai Baba: You are still in one hundred percent body consciousness. Do not stay with this body-consciousness. Remove it. Take it away. What will remain will be God-consciousness. Then there will be no anger, no hatred, no envy, no jealousy, no desire, no ego, only pure joy, only complete bliss, only bliss, bliss, bliss.
Devotee: But then what is reborn? When we reincarnate, what is born?
Sai Baba: The body is born. Birth and death only have to do with the body. Ego relates only to the body. Reincarnation relates only to the body. Do not think of the body, think of the atma. It is one. It is unchanging. For that one Self there is no incarnation; there is no reincarnation.
Devotee: Swami, do I, as an individual, exist at all?
Sai Baba: I! I! I! Always this I. First you must ask “Who is this I? Who am I?”
Devotee (persisting): But Swami is there no individual anything?
Sai Baba: When you realise the Self, then there is no separate individual. You can think of individuals as different light bulbs. There will be differences in wattage. There will be differences in age, in colour, in form, in name. One is a tube light and another is a bulb light. There will be differences in shape, but everywhere the current that powers them is the same. That current is you. You are not a bulb which appears different from any other bulb. You are the current, the one current that is found in all the bulbs. That is who you are.
Devotee: Swami, is there any difference between me and God?
Sai Baba: You are God. You are not the ego. You are God! You are God!
Devotee (incredulously): I am God???
Sai Baba: Yes! Yes! You are atma, the one Self. You are permanent. The physical body is not permanent. The physical is not the Self, but you are the Self, not the physical. You are God. Think like this always. Do not think about the body. Think about God. The body comes and goes. For the body there is birth and death, but you are not the body. The body is just rust and dust.
Devotee: Swami, I do healing and I wanted to ask......
Sai Baba (interrupting): Healing comes from God. Think of God. God is everything. He will always do what is needed. Think only of surrendering to God. You may say “I am healing others”, but this is just your ego speaking. Healing cannot come through the ego. Thinking that you are doing healing is very harmful. You are not the one who is doing the healing. You are only the instrument. God does everything. Think only of Him. Love Him.

No.
People who feel powerless by life's situations create rituals and delude themselves into believing they are somehow altering destiny. It is called "Magical Thinking".
Beware of magical thinking because it can alter your psychological health. People have tricked themselves into believing magic really occured, through heightened sense of awareness...
Most people who would want you to believe in magic are simply very good at mindgames or delusional.
Remember, If you don't believe in it, it can't hurt you.

You bet your life it's true.
Magick has been used for more than 35,000 years.
The Voodoo, santeria, and Candomble religions have been practising curses for thousands of years.
In Hawai'i the kahuna ana ana were the assassins for the ruling class (the ali'i). They literally killed people with the death prayer.
Shamans from assorted cultures in south America practise curses too.
I follow the religion of old hawai'i, and I can tell you from first hand experiences that magick is real Both white and black magick.

i have self assurance that magic and astrology are real forms of know-how and information. i fantastically doubt that there are too a lot of human beings alive at present that could use it and the guy close for your position is likely a psuedo wizard.
