Dearest Intent,
On this Thanksgiving Day, (for those celebrating) and every day, I THANK YOU for leading me to this incredible SORCERY and giving me the minimal chance to pursue REAL FREEDOM.
Thank you to this 10,000 year old LINEAGE and all the Sorcerers who've been a part of it. Thank you to the infinite generosity and the genius of Carlos and the Witches, who did all they could to pass down this potent knowledge.
Thank you to all the members of this sub, who give of themselves, their knowledge and their precious time, to share their experiences, answer questions over and over, explain such difficult concepts and keep the teachings alive in PRACTICE. All of this while living full, busy lives of their own. Thank you, indeed!
May we all achieve the goal. INTENT!

"You are dead," he said. "The sorcerers' grand trick, however, is to be aware that they are dead. Their ticket to impeccability must be wrapped in awareness. In that wrapping, sorcerers say, their ticket is kept in mint condition.
u/InnerArt3537 found this quote and added it to in the private sub’s chat:
Searching for a specific passage on the books I found this gem I forgot about:
"You have already died," Nestor said. "That (creature) ate you. You ventured beyond this world and found horror itself. Our life and our death are no more and no less real than your short life in that place and your death in the mouth of that monster. This life that we are having now is only a long vision. Don't you see?"
Does it really matter how you lived then if at the end you die anyway? Why do we do this?

You should read more of the books.
I've read it. And i know that after getting to the absolute freedom you die anyway. And dying after getting there is the same thing as dying here. You are just dead and it doesn't matter who you was and what you achieved – after living for a million years you are dead exactly like someone who lived 70 and never heard about magic.
How could you know that you die anyway to a certainty? Your journey is still on its way. The death defier escaped from the inorganic beings' world so nothing is set in stone, you are still on a journey and you can always find another way.
I'd rather have a million years of magic, personally.
“I am already given to the power that rules my fate and I cling to nothing so I will have nothing to defend. I have no thoughts so I will see. I fear nothing so I will remember myself. Detached and at ease I will dart past the eagle to be free. ”
Actually Carlos found a path to immortality.
And the current "new seer" path of using the earth to contain your awareness, let's you live for 5 billion years (until the sun goes red dwarf).
Practicing darkroom inevitably leads to the new seers path (by design I suspect).
As for living more than 5 billion years, someone asked about that in private class, to the dismay of Carlos, who only said "Well, when that time comes, we'll re-negotiate!"
Anyway, sorcery improves your life NOW.
If you're fixated on religious ideas like the afterlife, you aren't fixed on the goal of sorcery, which is access to all the alternate realities we were born to explore.
We just got sidetracked on this one.
If you saw some of those yourself, you'd understand.
Still might not want to practice however, due to how much work it entails.
The rewards require actual work.
Nestor was doing his best to prompt Carlos to acknowledge that, outside of the story that we tell ourselves is reality, the universe is non-linear.
That all moments, past and future, exist now.
And physics is increasingly proving it, even to the materialists.
Thank you to members of this sub, special tbs me you to Dan for the awesome posts/graphics. Happy thanksgiving everyone 🦃
Thank you to Dan, Techno, Jadey and all the members of this sub! The knowledge and path of magic provided for free here is truly a gift I am grateful to have discovered. The mission impossible phrase comes to mind after I wrote that “should you choose to accept (practice) it”.
Thanks everyone for all the effort placed into explanations, illustrations, links, and for keeping our bad player side in check!
