Mind (reason) is the ability of consciousness to select solutions to a new problem, based on knowledge of solutions to similar problems, while mind is the ability to find solutions based on knowledge of the laws by which the universe exists. If the mind, as a thinking consciousness, is directed towards the world and takes the consistency of knowledge as its main principle experience, that is, equality with oneself in thinking, then the mind correlates not only different contents with each other, but also itself with this content

On the one hand, the desire for concreteness is the main sign of living consciousness, and therefore everything alien to concreteness is not involved in real existence. But at the same time, the impression should not be created that there is not and cannot be an absolute secret in the world, since it is precisely the “indivisibility of the world into reason” that constitutes the condition for the possibility of Magic. Psychocosmic elements, closed on themselves, are devoid of productivity, they are fruitful only in mutual reflection - just as the absolutization of emotions kills Feeling, so the passion for mental constructions cripples Reason

Focusing consciousness on the mind deprives a person of Magic. Pure reason does not know mercy, does not know miracles, fairy tales - does not know Magic either

A magician can only be one who does not look for patterns, does not follow well-trodden paths, but enjoys life in its mysterious multicoloredness, while not forgetting about mapping his Path, without turning into either an all-knowing intellectual or a semi-conscious mystic
