The true nature of the magician "magic in theory and practice "

Magic is the Highest, most Absolute, and most Divine Knowledge of Natural
Philosophy, advanced in its works and wonderful operations by a right
understanding of the inward and occult virtue of things; so that true Agents being
applied to proper Patients, strange and admirable effects will thereby be produced.
Whence magicians are profound and diligent searchers into Nature; they, because
of their skill, know how to anticipate an effect, the which to the vulgar shall seem to
be a miracle."


The art of magic is not an art of making miragles.
the magician understands the invard and occult virtue of things.
The magician knows how to anicipate an effect. and it seems to be a miracle to the vulgar.

the magic is not like mathematics. The magician does not think that the same causes will
always produce the same effects, that the performance of the proper ceremony
accompanied by the appropriate spell,
The power of the magician is very great and it grows spell by spell.
but is not unlimited. the magician who overestimate his power will be suffer.
Also a magician in no way can broke the laws of nature. he just use the occult laws of nature which the ordinary people don't knows and don't understands.

The magician is not only a learner of few verses which we call spells and few techniques.
to be a magician you need to study many things. like yoga, eastern philosophies, ancient greek philosophies, yoga, mantras, muntras etc.
you must make hours of meditation. you must understand that you are one with the universe and understand the true nature of the maya (illusinary world in hindu philosophy).
Not all humans have the true will to be magicians and thus who thing to have that will and they not; they will fail.
for example: A man may fancy himself a
painter, and waste his life trying to become one; or he may be really a painter, and
yet fail to understand and to measure the difficulties peculiar to that career.)

As the Aleister Crowley says:
_____________________________
"Every man and every woman is a star." That is to say, every human being is
intrinsically an independent individual with his own proper character and proper
motion.
Every man and every woman has a course, depending partly on the self, and
partly on the environment which is natural and necessary for each. Anyone who is
forced from his own course, either through not understanding himself, or through
external opposition, comes into conflict with the order of the Universe, and suffers
accordingly
A Man whose conscious will is at odds with his True Will is wasting his
strength. He cannot hope to influence his environment efficiently.

(A man who is doing this True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
(Illustration: The first principle of success in evolution is that the individual should
be true to his own nature, and at the same time adapt himself to his environment.)
____________________________________

So the conclusion is to not waste your time by trying to be a magician if it is not your true will. you have no reason. just leave your magic work to me.
let me be your personal magician.
