Magick is the art of making the impossible possible, in so doing we redeem reality from the shells of restriction.
The Tree of Life shattered, the shells raining down with captured sparks of divine light. The Qabalistic magician redeems these shells, gathering them up and freeing their inner light. Increasing the Being of Reality.
Tradition (Kabbalah) states that the nature of the shells is disorder, disruption, naughty-naughty-misbehaving. They must be brought inline, ordered, structured. It is this which the Kabbalist's prayer achieves, the ordering of the shells and the restoration of their light to the original plan.
Traditional Occultism/Mysticism has been ego-focused in any of several senses. The goal is personal attainment/peace/enlightenment/redemption or/and the facilitation of other people's attainment/peace/enlightenment/redemption or/and the achievement of personal power for personal reasons.
What-if:
There is no plan.
There is no original order.
The word of sin is restriction.
Redemption is liberation, not structuration.
The individual ego doesn't particularly matter, even its dissolution/enlightenment.
The world doesn't need any new dogmas.
Then:
The shells are redeemed by lifting restriction.
Restriction manifests as stability, as law, as the chain of possibility and impossibility.
Impossibility places a boundary on Being, it marks the limit of reality and the finitude of existence.
Every increase in possibility is an increase in Being,
an increase in reality,
an increase in existence.
Magick is the facilitation of the occurrence of the impossible.
Its goal is not to save the self,
Or the Other,
Or the world.
Its goal is not to order the chaotic.
The release of light is the cracking of the shell of restriction.
Every impossible-event-made-possible (Miracle) increases Being.
Every increase in possibility is an increase in meaning,
An increase in Beauty.
Reality grows richer.
This is Good, in and of itself.
It is the ethical calling of the occultist.
Magick is the art of making the impossible possible, in so doing we redeem reality from the shells of restriction.
