One of the primary secrets of magic-work is that whatever you can imagine is already accomplished. If one can imagine the most brilliant mind in existence - giving it substance and form within the mind, they can then have a conversation with that mind. Because it is not required to have a brilliant mind yourself in order to attain a symbolic image of the most brilliant mind in existence. Why so? Because knowing isn't about facts and logic, knowing is about attaining the perspective of the one who has already known every logic and fact. "How would God view the world and his creation - from the perspective of omnipotence and all-knowing?" Those with great imagination will be able to assume not the knowledge of God but the perspective of God. And it is through studying and breaking down the implications provided by that perspective then that will birth the knowledge required. This is why the greatest magicians will always be endowed with incredible imagination, and the least impressive ones shall be endowed with the jealousy and craftiness required to gatekeep the knowledge the other produces. The lesson is this: Do not make measurements of the stars but measure the richness of the depths of your own mind. Your inner process is not a symptom of the stars but rather the stars and the greater cosmos themselves that are a symptom of that which is birthed from within. The human heart and mind are the greatest instruments of magic. The spine is the wise man's staff and the twin flames coiling around it are the greater and lower awarenesses dancing in unison. The mystic straightens his spine and the spiritual worlds yield to him and the gates of magic are forced ajar simply by the shift in his disposition. The material world infuses man's imagination, just as man's imagination infuses the material world with realness. What has already been made real impresses itself onto man, and man impresses his own identity and temperament onto what he comes to know through observation and awareness. The kaleidoscopic lens of the mind, the philosopher's stone, can be thrust and flung into futures not yet made and reconstruct the past with absolute accuracy and ease. It is through the rigorous training of the mind and its purification from outer/external poisonous and distracting influences and projections that provides the necessary clarity required for the imagery channeled through this lens. The spine is the body of the wand. The crystalline prism sits at its apex, serving as the lens for greater (inner) vision. The instrument of man is the gyroscope of time, the tree of life infused with the etheric presence and the imperishable flame of life itself - through which reality itself concedes its laws and rulesets to the fiery and brazen heart of its beholder. ![[FC41E875-E10D-4785-BB39-E43581348629.jpeg]]
