TREAT EVERYTHING LIKE YOU SEE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME
How does a Magician build his Approach? He acts on everything he encounters as something
unknown. The Magician never says to himself: “Yes, I understand that. I've seen it before." He
always approaches it as if it was something new and unknown, and so he never loses his Attention.
There are no solid and static positions in the Art of Magic. Each case is unique and requires your
full Attention and Awakeness. The child knows. The adult only thinks he knows, but in fact, he
has forgotten the secret. What he thinks he knows is not Knowledge, because most of it is not
acquired through real experience, but only relies on what society has taught him to believe.
Following certain patterns of thinking, stereotypes of behavior. What should be and what he should
do. Thus man enters into every action with prejudice and expectations. The Magician starts
everything new as a child - without prejudice, with excitement, as if it is a game. No ambitions for
success and no fear of failure. Just a game, playing for the game itself. Then what happens is...
Magic.
SEEK THE ORIGIN
Think about how natural phenomena originate and how they function. How come there is sunlight?
Think about the origin of everything. What if it wasn't there? How does it work? Why are there
stars? What's outside the Galaxy? How does it work? Why is there radiation? Why is there gravity?
Seek the reason. The root cause. Do not seek just information and the opinion of others. Seek for
yourself. Look for repetitive patterns around you. Then see the differences. Only then you will see
the correlation between all the elements in the world. People only look at the final product but
never question where it came from and how it got to them. They take everything for granted and
then they are very surprised when they lose it. The world is like an onion - everyone thinks they
see everything - but behind every visible layer of onion there is another inner one. That is why few
people get to the heart of the matter. Man seeks the fruits of the tree and thinks from one day to
another. The Magician seeks the root of the tree and thinks about how to feed people. Magic deals
with the root of things and all the consequences that follow.
BREAK THE PATTERN
At the beginning of your training in the Art of Magic, you will be at high tide. You will have
periods in which things will be easy and in which you will be discouraged from doing anything.
Remember that in order to achieve lightness, you have to break the model that external factors
have imposed on you or rather suggested, and you have accepted, even without knowing it. What
does it mean to break the model? To break your habits that make you predictable for yourself and
others. Every day you try to maintain an image that you are used to presenting to others and
yourself in order to be approved. This helps you to form habits and so your energy dries up. The
lack of uniformity makes children have a strong level of energy. The monotonous life and the lack
of innovations make adults grow old faster and faster. Get out of the habit - it is a huge danger.
Maintain your perseverance in the study of Art of Magic, but constantly change your approach and
methods.
