Ordering Power
The Magus’s chief aim is the acquisition of Power — the expansion and intensification of one’s awareness.
Nevertheless, as we have said more than once, gaining control over this Power is no less important than accumulating it.
In general, an increase in Power is a fairly common phenomenon. As soon as a person turns inward and gains access to their own desires, weakening the Parasite of mind’s grip, the mind expands and the level of Power rises. Any sensible person, having discovered that authority in their Psychocosmos belongs to an alien structure, moves to overthrow that alien rule — or at least to drive it back.
Many mystics, shamans, and sorcerers attained immense Power simply by dislodging the Parasite from its dominant position in the mind and increasing the efficiency of their functioning.
However, Magi do not stop there. From the standpoint of Magic, a mere increase in Power only changes the form of dependence: a person shifts from being a slave of the Parasite of mind to a prisoner of Power.
At the same time, the Magus strives for freedom— not only freedom of realization, but also freedom of choice. Therefore, for him, mastery of Power is even more important than its accumulation. When Power is great but un-ordered, it may realize a person’s desires, but it does so chaotically, with countless unforeseen consequences.
For the Magus, will is primary and vital energy — realizational power — is secondary. He must strengthen the will and, by doing so, order his vital power: when will is gathered into a single point, it moves vital energy; when vital power is gathered into a single point, it moves the will.
To a large extent, all efforts are aimed precisely at ordering Power — the entire discipline of the Magus.
More than that: the very ideology of Magic, its ritual organization, reflects this necessity — ordering the flow of Power in the Psychocosmos, and, by analogy, in the Macrocosmos as well.
In other words, a Magus is one who strives not only to accumulate Power, not only to increase its availability, but also to give it ordered flow — strict vectorization.
It is for this reason that Magi who practice vector kinds of Magic usually have fewer problems controlling Power than those who work with vortices.
The more clearly the Magus understands what he is doing and why — how this act will merge into the world process and influence it — the more successful his control over Power becomes.
In addition, the crisper his Ritual, the less arbitrary confusion it contains, the more ordered his Power.
Ordered Power is not only more effective; its effects are more predictable. Most importantly, it is far more manageable. Consequently, the Magus is freer — his actions more independent than those of people held captive by their Power.

Here’s the translation to English:
“Ordering strength is analogous to ‘all moves are recorded’ and ‘all moves are calculated’; the intended result will inevitably come to pass. ‘Just as when life force is concentrated as one, it moves with will.’ Can you provide an example or a hint on where I can read more about this? So, being a prisoner of strength always gives the impression (belief) that you are in the flow. For me, it’s fun and there’s no time to get bored. Phew… there is still a long way to go.”
“To organize your Power means to clearly know what you want and what may be needed to achieve it.”
What is meant by will?
Will is the ability to order desires: https://www.enmerkar.com/en/way/can-we-whenever-we-want
Well, for example, Gollum from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ also found it ‘fun’ and ‘not boring’ at first…
