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 Demon “breaks down walls”, erasing the boundary between “property”, that is—the actualized reality—of different beings.
A Magus’s work on his mind therefore includes both its purification, harmonization, and integration — that is, work on its contents — and the establishment of a correct self-identification: not with reflections, but with the reflecting capacity itself.

By being aware of the world from the standpoint of his unique individuality, in his singular way, the Magus does precisely what constitutes his nature — the nature of potential infinity turning into actual infinity.
