Chapter 1
By reading the glossary first, I understand what is being said as I read. Following is a brief first-chapter glossary that defines the basic skills you will use as you study and practice. They may seem huge in concept to you now, but you will find they are relatively simple as you proceed.
Awareness Observing or noticing the subtle details. This can be done with or without physical vision.
Balance Balance is an easy word to understand in general. However, in psychism, it takes on a whole new meaning. In psychism, balance means to maintain a semblance of equity between your psychic and magical world experiences and your real-world experiences. The balance I speak of is the balance we must maintain as we experience walking in both worlds.
Daily living Using your practiced skills daily because they are a part of how you live.
Faith Faith is a knowing. A conviction or trust. An unshakable knowing of a concept or idea. Your perceptions and thoughts about concepts and ideas.
Imagination A tool used in the creation of conceptual thinking using visualization, psychism, Magic, and Witchcraft. Imagination is letting the mind think what it wants with no restrictions.
