Stepping Stones

Always be suspicious of and somewhat dissatisfied with the world you are gaining mastery of. Each world is full of entities happy and content, or unhappy and discontent, it makes no real difference, trapped by the illusion of existence. They have, if you like, abandoned destiny for life (and death): engaged with the living now rather than knitting and tightening into the divine. Gaining mastery is gaining understanding and energy. Together these give you power – the power to leap out of the confines of the world that gave them to you and into a new world commanded by different rules and containing different energies – different terms of engagement. In this new world your power has little purchase and needs to be abandoned – washed out – so that new more appropriate power can take its place.
