The Magus’s struggle for possession is a struggle for the integrity and harmony of himself and his Way.

The Magus’s impeccability lies in continuing to move forward, even while convinced of its futility.

The Magus persistently and purposefully cultivates, behind his masks, a certain enduring content — his Me.

Only by cultivating sincere feelings within himself, without fearing to confront his own fears and limitations, and only by widening his outlook and his tolerance, the Magus finds himself in that awakened state so essential to his development.

A Magus’s actions must be highly ordered and highly adequate to his way of describing the Cosmos, and the greater that adequacy, the greater both the effectiveness of his actions and the expansion of awareness — the Magus’s self-realization.

A Magus not only does not condemn systems of describing reality different from his own; he clearly understands that his own system is no more than one among many possible variants

A Magus’s gaze must constantly and purposefully seek manifestations of power around him, and, at the slightest sign of Power, the Magus must rush headlong in that direction.

Magi, Prophets and initiates of all times and peoples recognized the importance of Seclusion as a necessary condition for the development of the mind at moments of its transcendences

Although a Magus should not entirely avoid “automating” his actions, such automation must, first, be undertaken with full awareness and, second, be sensitively controlled, and it should be applicable only within a narrow range of conditions—when those conditions change it must be discarded immediately and with ease.

Being fully immersed in action, the Magus never becomes a slave to that action and can always leave it if his impeccability requires it.

Only when the choice—to live differently or not to live at all—reveals itself in all its inexorability does a person finally get the chance to restore their life’s original purpose — to know, to become aware, to create.

Although the Life Force, unified and indivisible, fills the entire cosmos and constitutes its potential ground, each embodied being has only limited access to it.

The object to which the focus of the mind is transferred must have the greatest affinity to the subject — to the very field of the mind.
