Real Magic

The external progress of man has not resulted in a fundamental change in his internal position.

There is a calm and safe center at the Escape Point where the two lines of the Cross meet, existing even in the eye of frantic and dangerous Horizontal conditions.  The location of this point is known only to those who understand the Union of attention and consciousness.

Why cannot ordinary men see that all is Reflection? They know they must use a mirror to even see their own face, (and that too is but a reflection).

Deficiency in part
is deficiency in the whole.

Ordinary men go from path-to-path and system-to-system like travelers from one hostile city to another.  It is a trek from one so-called authority to another, but it is not the Work.

Real magic does not simply lay about to be discovered by dreamers; it must be consciously produced by those with Will and an Aim.
