Magic is not just solipsism

Magic is not just solipsism. Recognizing the Great Spirit as the ultimate reality, it does not deny the importance and objects of His self-knowledge. Although Magic insists that the world is only a product of description, which means that “reality” can be changed only by changing the method of this description, However, as long as consciousness uses this description, it plays according to its laws, follows its internal logic, and limited by its scope

The forces that create ways of translating perception into the language of descriptions are great and numerous - Archons, Demiurges, Gods. They are the ones who “compile” perception, translating its “source code” into images understandable to consciousness

The “reality” available to consciousness is limited by two factors. The first is the fundamental availability of energies. Each current state of consciousness is capable of operating with a certain set of them, and this set depends on the previous existence of consciousness, its perceiving and interpreting abilities. The second is the “convenience” of the description. Consciousness usually prefers to operate not with all energies available to it, but only with those that seem most “convenient” or “important” to it

And if the first factor is determined by the level of development of consciousness, then the second is often formed under the influence of various destructive forces that seek to prevent this development. The forces with which consciousness interacts are simultaneously both “inside” and “outside” it, and any conscious action is also simultaneously macro- and psychocosmic. Only by clearly realizing this inextricable unity can a magician achieve that degree of effectiveness that will allow him to expand his consciousness to the highest possible level and achieve a high degree of realization
