The work of magic is the work of disciplining the mind, body, and spirit to serve the will of the magician. In this we place the Will at the crown of the human psycho-structure. Deep in the jungles of our neural network, where the electro-chemical lightning flashes information between tentacled synapses there lurks that undiscovered source from which the free will of mortals arises. Unproven by material science, it is known to the Wise as the Will, the divine source that makes each being, each individual manifestation of the chaos-foam, able to act directly in and upon the Web of the Worlds.

…the apparent self, the personality construct, is a robot of emotional habits, fixed opinions, and programmed physical responses. That robot has often been considered the opponent of art, magic, and spirit. To gain skill in meditation and trance is to gain access to the controls of the robot, and to expand awareness outside our common selves.
