Two Energy Systems

assertions are as follows. The root level assertion of this practice is that the reality we engage in is itself conscious on a level we cannot comprehend. In addition, the nature of each sentient being is that of eternal, selfsovereign consciousness that exists independently from physical matter. This reality contains patterns that can be observed, influenced, and followed if one can learn to open their awareness to them. Thought is the primary agent of change upon existence and will is thought invested with direction and purpose. Magic is the name for the technique through which we may enact our will upon the metaphysical framework of existence. To aid us in the enactment of our will, we can enlist the help of nonphysical thoughtforms that exist within and/or beyond us, known as eidolons. Magic is to be used for the good of the collective, the vast networkof-being in which we all participate, and as such, it should never be used to harm other beings emotionally or physically, nor to oppress, enslave, or subjugate. Positive effect on the collective good can be enacted through directly helping those in need in this realm, working to dismantle injustice wherever it resides, and through engaging with the harmonious patterns of the multiverse and the tasks to which they may lead you. These tasks will often include interaction with conceptual entities, known as vestiges, and stagnations in energetic systems, called blockages. The total goal of the earthly magician is to transcend to a higher modality of discernment in order to engage fully with the work of magic beyond the fetters of the physical senses and to more deeply understand the nature of the conscious multiverse.

This book is meant to serve as a one-stop shop for learning to foster a mindset conducive to esoteric practice, engage in ritual, and eventually make successful contact with a group of eidolons I refer to as the inner host. This is accomplished through encouraging you to engage with your own presuppositions about reality, nurture a receptive and attuned mindset, and develop your own practice of ritual magic. It is important to note that this book encourages you to cultivate your own approach as you progress, and it is not meant to be taken dogmatically. This practice will be useful to you if you are seeking a framework around which to develop
