Because the number of energies that consciousness can reflect is infinite, just as the number of aspects of the Great Spirit in which He cognizes itself is infinite. And although the very nature of consciousness does not change in any way, it turns out to be hidden, obscured by those reflections that arise in consciousness and the interpretations of these reflections - images. The situation is further complicated by the fact that many of the reflections, forms, objects that appear in consciousness acquire quasi-independence, begin to conflict and fight for their own existence
The path of the magician is, first of all, the purification of the system of images, their harmonization, the transformation of consciousness from a field of struggle and confrontation into a field of harmonious reflection, a field of actualization and self-knowledge, and, as a natural result of this, “final purification” - the return of consciousness to its unclouded state of a clean mirror
The magician’s work on his consciousness therefore includes both its purification, harmonization, integration, that is, work on its contents, and the establishment of correct self-identification - not with reflections, but with the reflective ability itself
Moving in this way, the magician, on the one hand, fulfills his purpose as a way of self-knowledge of the Great Spirit, and on the other hand, does not forget that there is no difference between his consciousness and the consciousness of the Spirit as such, there are and cannot be any restrictions for consciousness as a principle
