The Market
This is a section that deals with more subtle adjustments of reality that draw wealth towards the magus, or Principal. The whole of Reality is pure energy. As modern physics has shown us everything that can currently be perceived by human means is energy in some form or another. Therefore, the energy that the Principal drawn upon in order to perform adjustments in Reality is fundamentally the same as energy in any form. Money, a tangible manifestation of the more esoteric energy of wealth, is an example of some past adjustment of Reality. Some group or individual used will and daring to shape Reality so that small pieces of metal or paper, and now even non-physical data points, carry the weight of history and the world. People will lie, steal, cheat, trade their very lives for its possession. Still, it is energy, money is fundamentally no different than dirt or stone. Wealth is the flow of energy from which money, currency as it were, gains its power. The ebb and flow of the currents of wealth can be seen by the keen observer. Wealth flows along trade routes, pools in banks, forms eddies in the palm of a consumer. By controlling one’s body and spirit with calm meditative trances, the principle may contemplate, become familiar with, and gain subtle control of the flow of wealth.
Using visualization the Principal should see the flow of wealth energies as golden waters, flowing throughout the world. These rivers of gold can be touched, breathed in, drunk. Become intimate with these waters. Once the Principal is ready, slowly channel some of that wealth towards oneself or some other target. Allow it to flow into the reservoir of the ready spirit. With vigilance, patience, and maintenance these connections will become tributaries, in time the tributaries will become rivers. The flow of wealth spreads naturally, it seeks the places where it is not felt, and will fill any space it can find.
Once the Principal has become a part of the flow of wealth, currency will find its way into the life of the Principal. This process may take time, depending upon how separated the Principal is from the natural flow of wealth, and how skilled and intimate the Principal is at influencing wealth. Patience is key in drawing wealth and currency together into the life of the Principal. Once this basic accruement of wealth is mastered, the Principal is able to influence wealth energies on an external level, becoming a player in the on-going numbers and confidence game that is reality perceived as the Market.
