An Enchanter's Journal #9 - 10

... It is a quest of alchemy to avoid the end-times and perpetuate the Deus Mundi. Yet the Deus mundi is said to be a contradictory, acerbic principle, and this creates spiritual contradictions, which, if interesting, may also be obstacles on numerous alchemical quests.

It is not for the wizard to reject the vehemence of God' s bitterness, while also maintaining a neutral exterior---not just the immediate world, but the world's deepest imputations---may be called one of the first secrets of channeling.

The next object of channeling is to direct the will towards some attainable magical object---often not a miracle, but something humbled, something which seems paradoxically attainable.

In this second stage of channeling, it may be important to repeatedly test probability. Can one stretch the truth? Then can one stretch REALITY?

That may be enough to create superstitious effects! Then you know magic! Following this type of course, I moved rather quickly over several years from balancing socks at an angle to changing the color of the sky during day and evening.

The weakest principle of magic is affirmation. That is, outside the strong affirmations of a priest.

It is also called psychic identification. It is the principle of recognizing or identifying magic amongst more ordinary things...

Related to the concept of affirmation is the principle of silence or suspension.

The point of suspension is to leave the magical identification unquestioned, and therefore give it life...

What follows is often a seeking of obscurity, a Gnostic impulse, which, if it does not occur, prevents the realization of the power within the magically identified...

Affirmation begins a long quest towards the self-affirmation of the wizard, the second-leap of the puzzle which results in the affirmation of all magical things...

Careful heed to the nature of the end-times can lead to prolonged life and a peaceful death...
