On the one hand, in the effort to hasten passage through particular stages there is a risk of failing to extract their maximal Power, and on the other — by ‘forcing’ Power, one can become stuck in movement. Therefore it is precisely the choice of the right battle strategy that helps achieve a high effectiveness of movement.
At a certain stage in the development of the mind, further progress becomes possible only through the transmission of knowledge. In other words, one who has reached a certain level of development must become a Master.
In Magic the notion of the Passive milieu has a thoroughly practical meaning — it is precisely within it that the axes of realization are formed, and it is from it that the creative will of the Magus “moulds” the vortices that modify the cosmos.
The honor of the Magus is his self‑identity; it is his acceptance of responsibility for his decisions and his fulfillment of the obligations he has undertaken. Such a state, first, is a manifestation of the Magus’s will and, second, a testament to and support of his integrity.
The Way ‘from theory to practice’ is usually far more effective, since it prevents the repetition of blind actions, unconscious waste of power, and ineffective influences so characteristic of novice ‘practitioners’ who squander vast amounts of power merely through misunderstanding.

The great power of opposition, manifesting in the Cosmos as the Gatekeeper and in the realm of energies as the Serpent Nakhash, appears at the level of the Psychocosmos as the Demon of the Abyss.
A person is active on the physical plane only thanks to the presence there of an additional conductor. It is the binary pairing of conductors that creates a potential difference — the condition for all activity.
Among the topics and discussions popular in the contemporary fringe-magical milieu, the theme of “Chaos” has become extraordinarily fashionable. Beginning with Lovecraft, interest in destructive influences took on a mass character and has produced a great deal of confusion.
The force of universal gravitation, directed toward restoring the world to its primordial unity, manifests as the Principle of Desire. Let us summarize what we already know about this principle.
