                         Don't try to understand
                         actions and reactions as
                         they occur around you.
                         It is all an illusion.
                         Try to understand it
                         and you rob it of 
                         it's beauty.
                         If you are not aware of
                         this, you will be.
                         The things of the subconcious
                         do not give themselves
                         over easily to the
                         individual.
                         Trust your own mind not
                         to fuck with you or
                         suffer a life of mental 
                         separation.
                         There is no beauty in a
                         mind unable to see
                         itself clearly.
                         Your first exercise will
                         be a progressive exercise.
                         Each time something 
                         happens which makes
                         you feel pride at
                         what you can do,
                         makes you feel 
                         better than someone
                         else, stop, recognize
                         the wrong and ask
                         your god to forgive
                         you.
                         You don't have to 
                         ask him out loud.
                         Contrary to popular
                         belief, a prayer
                         from the mind
                         is more powerful
                         than a prayer
                         spoken out loud.
                         Next, anytime that you
                         feel angry for some
                         wrong that was done
                         you, see that your
                         anger only weakens
                         you and makes them
                         stronger, ask for
                         forgiveness and let
                         it go.
                         Expect nothing from
                         those around you, least
                         of all understanding.
                         The road to spiritual 
                         harmony is not easy
                         but it is worth it.
                         Put up the book 
                         and do not open 
                         it for two months.
                         the truth is a difficult
                         path to find.
                         it is not well marked;
                         few have been down the
                         path before you.
                         until you reach the end it 
                         is not even certain that
                         you are on the right one.
                         Most who choose well to
                         begin with soon find other
                         paths which are more 
                         appealing.
                         These paths soon come 
                         to naught and the
                         prospective wizard finds
                         himself stumbling around
                         aimlessly looking for the 
                         right path again.
                         I would ask that you,
                         my pupil, stay true 
                         to the choices which
                         brought you to
                         this path.
                         It is nothing to me
                         but it would be the
                         world to you.
                         Find your truth and 
                         abide by it.
                         As yet I can say no
                         more on this.

                           Exercise 2

                         Everytime someone acts
                         like a jerk, clear your
                         mind of it's predudice.
                         Try to see his side of 
                         the story. Try to assume
                         his point of view.
                         It's not easy and you
                         always make mistakes
                         but it is necessary to
                         be able to get inside
                         of another persons' mind
                         in this fashion.
                         Try to understand his
                         point of view even 
                         if you don't agree
                         with it. Close the 
                         book for one year.
                         --------+--------
                         Avoid ritual.
                         Those who cling to ritual seek
                         only to be seen. Their power
                         lies not in their own belief
                         but in the misguided belief
                         of others.
                         Avoid using the magic 
                         for personal gain. 
                         It will strip the soul
                         and leave only the
                         mortal shell.
                         There is no gratification
                         in using the power for
                         personal gain.
                         It only builds contempt
                         for those around you.
                         If you cannot see 
                         this; if you decide to
                         choose the dark side
                         then this book cannot
                         help you.
                         I do not envy you your
                         decision but I will
                         respect it and bid
                         you good tidings on
                         your journey.
                         To those who remain
                         I present the wisdom
                         of the ancients.
                         Read and understand
                         for it is the only
                         true wisdom.
                         -----+-----

                         THE WISDOM
                           OF THE
                          ANCIENTS:


                         Believe.
                         With all your 
                         heart,
                         believe.


                         ------+------

                         If I offend you please
                         ignore me and put up
                         the book for another
                         day.
                         There is no pleasure
                         in pain though truly
                         pleasure is brought
                         forth out of pain.
                         There is no anger
                         that cannot be stayed
                         if you understand it's
                         source.
                         There is no truth which
                         cannot be denied save
                         one:
                         Belief can work miracles.
                         And if belief works 
                         miracles then understanding
                         can increase the spectrum
                         of possibility to include
                         all things.
                         As your understanding
                         increases you realize that
                         anything is possible and
                         as you use the magic
                         you can allow yourself
                         to recognize the likelyhood
                         of it.
                         It becomes unlikely 
                         that what you want to
                         happen won't happen.
                         Set your mind in a 
                         dirrection for positive 
                         change and be amazed
                         at how it slowly 
                         comes into being.
                         Set your mind on 
                         negative change and 
                         be amazed at how
                         quickly it comes to
                         pass.
                         The difference is in your
                         ability to believe.
                         It is easier to believe
                         that bad will hjappen
                         than that good will.
                         You can see why so
                         many choose the negative
                         path.
                         Think on this:
                         If someone accuses you
                         wrongly, do you get 
                         even, or do you prove 
                         them wrong? Understand, 
                         it is not necessary to 
                         do anything at all.
                         Second, you must as
                         an open-minded 
                         individual consider the
                         possibility that they
                         are right. If they 
                         are then you must
                         make a change from 
                         within. The power 
                         of the mystic is in
                         their ability to exact
                         change from within.
                         It is more commonly 
                         refered to as a
                         personality adjustment.
                         In order to accomplish it
                         you must go within 
                         and inform your subconcious
                         that the present personality
                         is unacceptable.
                         All that is required is
                         to relax your mind to
                         a level where you can
                         hear your inner voice.
                         It is important that 
                         you request specific
                         personality traits to
                         replace those that are
                         to be removed.
                         Through the course of
                         your life you will
                         probably do this several
                         times before you arrive
                         at an acceptable
                         personality.
                         The best time to 
                         perform this exercise
                         is before you fall 
                         asleep.
                         Take a break from the
                         reading and practice what 
                         you have learned.
                         Say this:
                         I need no spells. 
                         The power is in me
                         and not in any
                         spell or ritual.
                         It is my belief 
                         in my god which 
                         gives me power.
                         As I progress I will
                         become stronger in
                         my belief.
                         There is nothing which
                         I will not be able to
                         accomplish with patience.
