You stated your intention to stop posting to alt.magick, and then a
month later you started posting again. I think this suggests that in
your life you often fail to stick to your intentions, and that is a
characteristic I would associate with a beginner in magick. What you or
I interpret "die daily" to mean is irrelevant to this point.

Again, you're discussing something unrelated and irrelevant to what I
said. Whatever your reason for not sticking to your intention, the fact
is that you didn't stick to it and you started posting again. You can
attempt to evade or make excuses for this fact, but it happened and it
says something about you. As I said, I think it suggests that you're a
beginner in magick.
