In realizing oneself in actions, the Magus does not lose the inward orientation of self-reflection; otherwise, one risks losing equilibrium and falling into empty activity. And in immersing oneself, one does not forget the necessity of self-knowledge in actions — otherwise, one loses the meaning of one’s individuality.
Magic is a Way of developing the mind through action — a Way of transformation and transmutation that unfolds through ordering, through the interaction of the cognizing aspect with whatever is brought into awareness.
In striving not to sever action and the awareness of that action, influence and the reaction to influence, the mind of the Magus acquires the inviolability and breadth necessary to transcend conditioned existence.
Vision is the ability to immerse oneself while retaining separateness, the art of union without mixing, in which the Magus is at once transcendent and immanent to the current with which he engages
An individual knowable aspect becomes available to cognition only when it manifests itself, and the mode of such manifestation is interaction with other such aspects
Doubt for the Magus is an instrument by which he undermines the very foundations of his chief enemy — his separateness, his self-enclosure, his egocentrism.
At the level of Manifested Being, as the saying goes, “God has no eyes other than the eyes of people,” and that which is above every reality manifests on this relative phenomenal level as a grand dance, a symphony of the cosmos, in which unity and multiplicity interpenetrate and complement one another.
The Magus’s work upon the mind therefore includes purification, harmonization, and integration — that is, work with its contents — and the establishment of correct self-identification: not with the reflections, but with the reflective capacity itself.
The root and cause of the “cycle” of existence is a mistaken self‑identification — the perception of oneself as a separate being opposed to others, arising from the natural, yet correctible, absolutization of individuality.
Initiating a given Runic flow within oneself, stepping onto the Way of a particular Vector, the mind must not forget that a vector always leads into infinity, and one must move along that vector as far as it is at all possible to go.
The highest form of inspiration, to which the Magus seeks access, is traditionally called “magical frenzy,” “vod,” and this state, akin to illumination, supplies the impulses to action that largely determine its effectiveness.
Forming an integral intention is often impeded, especially at early stages of development, by the many flows in which the mind is involved. To establish a stable vector within this seething stream, one must crystallize the primary goal and direct all of the mind’s resources toward it.
The Magus, on the one hand, creates the road beneath his feet, and on the other—strives not to leave traces upon it, breathing reality to the full but not becoming its slave.
