In mathematics the expression a + b + c is a triviality. Write a + b + c = 0, and you obtain an equation from which the most glorious truths may be developed |
constant equilibration of all imaginable opposites will suggest to us a world in which they are truly one; whence to that world itself is but the shortest step. All our contradictories are co-ordinate curves; they are on opposite sides of the axis, but otherwise are precisely similar, just as in the case of the hands quoted above. If they were not similar, they would no longer be contradictories, but contraries. People who begin to think for themselves usually fall into the error of contradicting normal ideas as taught by their seniors. Thus, one learns that marriage is right and adultery wrong. One thinks, and finds the beauty of the latter, the sordidity of the former; perhaps ending, with a little wit, in defending marriage because the delights of adultery are impossible without it. This attitude is good enough, indeed, while one is talking to the grovellers; but what educates the clergy (since miracles still happen) is a truism to an actress. If in the jungle two elephants fight lustily, he shall do little who champions either; rather snare both, tame both, ride both, as the charioteer of the Tarot with the opposing sphinxes, black and white. Nor, O man, believe thou that finality is anywhere to be reached in words. I balance A and not-A (a), and finding both false, both true, transcend with B. But whatever B is, it is as false and true as b; we reach C. So from C to c, and for ever. Not, as Hegel thought, until we reach an idea in which no seed of self-contradiction lurks; for that can never be. The thinkable is false, then? (once more!) Yea, but equally it is true. So also the old mystics were right who saw in every phenomenon a dog-faced demon apt only to seduce the soul from the sacred mystery; right, too, they who “interpret every phenomenon as a |

eed to be obsessed with getting there. And that's the whole problem, you see. Because if you're obsessed with getting rich and are spending every moment either conjuring for money, or going out into the world to put your plans of wealth into action, you're going to have no time for anything else. And those who practise magic for any length of time quickly come to discover that nothing is so rewarding as working to transform themselves. There are many reasons why most magicians aren't rich[19], and a lot seem to be permanently strapped for cash. Magic is an expensive hobby if you're really going to give it your all. Ma |
on these goals will succeed. But truly rich magicians? Magical millionaires? As I've said, it's not impossible, but it's not likely, simply because most magicians have things to do and to |
