For a Magus, the ability to respect the Power and its manifestations, teachers, and companions is inseparably bound up with the ability to accurately assess the path one has traveled, and therefore is of paramount importance for mapping one’s progress.
Power constantly urges the Magus to change his reality, but the desire to flee from it is too deeply rooted in human nature.
For the Magus, the choice of worldview is a personal one. He is not obliged to adhere to either commonly accepted or traditional views if they do not harmonize with his own Way.
Just as the history of humanity began with the expulsion from Paradise, the personal Way begins with a step away from the familiar, cozy world into an unknown and dangerous one — a world in which one can find oneself and one’s freedom.
The mind limits itself, drives itself into dead ends, and the Parasite needs only to prod it deftly, much as an elephant handler compels the great animal to obey his will.
The Vision Quest belongs to the so-called “Immersive” Rituals, because the activity of mind during it turns inward, into the Psychocosmos, and everything the Magus sees or hears rises from those depths as its source.
The mind, falling under the sway of Nahamah, loses its sense of the flow of life, loses the stirring of blood, and the being becomes eternally frightened, anxious, and restless—tormented by dark premonitions that sap the life out of it.
For the Magus, fidelity is, above all, an awareness of responsibility and the highest degree of self-identity.
Even when your strength is nearly spent and the weight makes everything swim before your eyes, you must summon an extra effort, take a step, then another step, and yet another.
A warrior who persistently forces his way through destructors acts effectively and impeccably, while a warrior who stubbornly clings to his delusions loses both time and Power.
The search for a way out is a search for the “weak spots” of the Magus’s current position — and for the destructors that disguise the exits at those spots.
The world constantly speaks to the Magus; it is continually sending him “reports from the battlefields,” and the ability to hear the world and notice its movements is as important a magical skill as the ability to see energies.
Almost every person is endowed with a special ability aimed at facilitating the flow of Power through the world.
