The human consciousness, closed in on itself and completely using all its cognitive capabilities on the standard templates slipped by society, predators and parasites, is not capable of going beyond its boundaries and needs a push, an introduction into this new state for itself - needs discovery. It is precisely this initiatory event that must occur during the Vision Quest.

The vision comes when the seeker is in harmony with himself, pure in thoughts and free from emotions. Then the mind throws aside natural barriers and allows the feelings to penetrate, and then the voice of the Force can be felt. Therefore, the Search is usually preceded by preliminary measures aimed at cleansing the field of consciousness. However, establishing order in the Psychocosmos is not the only condition of the Vision. It is also necessary to overcome the Threshold. Therefore, all efforts of the seeker should be aimed at maximum harmonization. of his being, and to destabilize the Edge. In various ways, the magician achieves that the Veil becomes thinner, his consciousness begins to guard its borders less harshly, and the Unknown begins to seep through them

The vision that opens to the magician during the Search is individual and usually concerns him personally - his motives, internal dead ends, fears and problems. An important danger of Search is also connected with this - the seeker can end up in a world different from the usual one and get lost there, while in this world he either disappears or goes crazy (in the second case, consciousness is directed towards one world, and the guide is in another)

Another danger of overcoming the Threshold is that after the seeker, inhabitants of the beyond, including predators, may also pass through the threshold
