When constructing a Ritual it is important to understand which sounds are used in it, how they interact with one another and with the operator’s being, and how appropriate they are to the goal and the technology of realization.
The course of development of the Magus’s mind goes beyond merely carrying out the tasks of the current incarnation, and therefore may require changing the form in which his awareness is manifested.
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.

Every system has a beginning and an end, and upon reaching the limit of its development it must be destroyed so that its constituent elements can be regrouped in a new way, available for further expansion
For the Magus, “deliverance from illusion” primarily means the mind’s emergence “from the shadow”, from that state of blinkeredness into which external and internal predators cast it.
Just as Fairies acquire a soul and true immortality only by tasting love, people born outside a connection with a Monad establish that connection through the Monad of the beloved person.
