The Magus understands that he is not separable from the world, and this understanding for him is not an ethical principle but the very basis of his existence, the manner in which he looks at the world and interacts with the world — an interaction with himself.
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.
The Magus does not identify himself with the personalities and subpersonalities that flow one into another, nor does he deny them; he watches the play, sinks into his undifferentiated depth and reappears on the surface, avoiding both absolutism and nihilism.
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
Choshekh is the state in which the Absolute abides “before” or “above” the moment when within it the possibility of Manifestation, the possibility of Self-knowledge, appears.
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
Magic is, above all, the Way of the development of mind, and when we speak of the “growth of Power” we must be clear that we mean precisely Power — awareness — not merely the accumulation of energetic potential.
The more apparent the Threshold Forces become to the Magus—and the better he understands their characteristics, leverage points, and mechanisms of influence—the freer he becomes from their operation.
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.
