Perusing the archives of the old alt.magick forums –
which contain a wealth of insight for someone willing to put in the work to dig
it out – I came across this gem from forum legend Tom Schuler:
it's a good idea to be aware of reality, to be aware of what's actually going on as much as possible. This makes your life less bumpy, less prone to avoidable catastrophes […] Your awareness of your True Will is not for the sake of making your True Will happen, but to make your life better while your True Will happens.
In response to that last wise sentence, yet another
forum legend, Erwin Hessle 8=3, posted the following quote from Aleister
Crowley:
"I have omitted to say that the whole subject of Magick is an example of Mythopoeia in that particular form called Disease of Language." - Magick in Theory and Practice
Further comment would only mar the sublime simplicity
of this exchange.
