The development of awareness both on a macro- and microcosmic scale occurs by isolating individual elements from the World Unity and transferring them from a potential state to an actual one. At the same time, the actualizing activity - that is, Consciousness - is in the flow of directed movement, the vector field of its development
This vectorizing force, which is a manifestation of logos and creates the direction of the movement of Consciousness, Magic calls spirit. In other words, spirit is the ability of the Force to form directed flows
Magic calls the human spirit the tendency inherent in both humanity as a whole and an individual person to develop consciousness in certain ways in a certain direction, and, for example, the spirit of Magic can be called that characteristic way of developing consciousness that is inherent in magicians
The individual spirit of a being is the functional ability of its Monad to develop in a certain direction. It is clear that, unlike the soul, which has a substantial nature, the spirit has a functional nature, it is elusive and non-objective. From this point of view, the only full-fledged way of knowing any being or process is penetration into its spirit, that is, awareness of that mode of existence, that set of internal connections and directions of internal movements that are characteristic of a given system and, in fact, constitute the vector field of this system
We can say that to understand the spirit of a system means to understand the features of its internal life. That is why Magic needs to understand the spirit of those systems, objects, phenomena and creatures with which the magician interacts - after all, only by understanding the spirit of the system can the magician predict the nature of the influence of this system on himself and his Path
