The very nature of perception is such that consciousness tries to impose an image, template, cliché on the block of energies it perceives as quickly as possible, since only by doing this will it be able to include this block in the picture of the world it perceives, and therefore begin to actively interact with it, and, Of course, this cannot be done without detractors

Consciousness loves to make mistakes. It seeks to be deceived. This desire has been brought up in him since childhood by internal and external demons - predators and parasites, which means that instead of trying to find in himself the most exact correspondence, the logos, of the perceived block of energies - be it a process, an object or another being, consciousness imposes it on the block, ignoring “minor” inconsistencies, and convinces itself of the correctness of its description in order to enter into an ineffective interaction, leading to the dissipation of energy and feeding the same predators and parasites

It is well known that usually the most accurate and adequate is the first impression or the first answer to a question that comes to mind, and further reasoning often leads away from this infallibility, replacing it with completely incredible illusions and delusions, And it can be very difficult to break an established image, and this destruction itself is also accompanied by significant disappointments and internal turmoil

Therefore, the speed of his consciousness is very important for a magician. It is very important that consciousness has time to grasp the unclouded interaction of its perceiving part with the perceived block of energy - before destructive forces intervene, muddying the clear waters of psychocosm. The magician's critical thinking must be honed as sharply as possible. Moreover, it should be aimed, first of all, not at fruitless reflections on the “nature” of what is perceived, its “objectivity,” but on its practical value. The adequacy of perception is maximum when it allows you to act most effectively
