Counter-intellectualism creates ideal conditions for the manipulation of people, for it diminishes the importance of critical thinking, devalues the role of experts, and undermines systematic learning as a whole.
The ‘inside-out’ reality changes in parallel and in mutual interconnection with the manifest reality.
A successful Magus must be able to command both currents of his perception, much as a good programmer must understand both the frontend and the backend of their product.
If left without due attention, religious and magical objects can readily become a source of evil and destruction.
We face a choice — remain a free biological species that governs itself, its environment, and its technologies, or finally become a weak-willed “raw-material appendage,” fit only for producing tonic pneuma that feeds the Empty spirits of the Interworld.
If people do not change their way of thinking and acting, the formation of a biological-digital hybrid appears to be a predictable path of evolution
The idea that mind, understood both in its universal, metaphysical sense and in its concrete, individual sense, is the author and creator of the manifested world has deep roots.
Our world is increasingly becoming a feeding ground for the beings of the interspace, steadily losing its intrinsic value and evolutionary potential.
Many techniques and approaches to accumulating energy — psychophysical practices and the like — lack significant evolutionary potential: they help amass a resource, but do not confer the capacity to employ it rightly.
The choice of the right supports for the Logos of realization in this respect proves a very important stage, largely determining both the very possibility and the effectiveness of any accomplishment.
Examining this stage can help one grasp the general patterns of the Way and, in time, avoid mistakes that could later hinder a successful Crossing.
By understanding the details of disembodiment, remembering its stages and their significance, and preparing for them, one can avoid many of the traumas that arise from resisting the forces active at that time.
One of the components of any recipe or grimoire is always the operator himself; therefore it is, by definition, impossible for one Magus to reproduce exactly the modus operandi of another.
