The ancient sorcerers believed that choice, as human beings understand it, is the precondition of the cognitive world of man, but that it is only a benevolent interpretation of something which is found when awareness ventures beyond the cushion of our world, a benevolent interpretation of acquiescence. Human beings are in the throes of forces that pull them every which way. The art of sorcerers is not really to choose, but to be subtle enough to acquiesce.
Although they seem to make nothing else but decisions, the rigor of the sorcerers allows for no decisions at all. For example, I didn’t decide to choose you, and I didn’t decide that you would be the way you are. Since I couldn’t choose to whom I would impart my knowledge, I had to accept whomever the spirit was offering me.
Choice, for warriors, is not really the act of choosing, but rather the act of acquiescing elegantly to the solicitations of infinity. Infinity chooses. The art of the warrior is to have the ability to move with the slightest insinuation, the art of acquiescing to every command of infinity. For this, a warrior needs prowess, strength, and above everything else, sobriety. All these three put together give, as a result, elegance!
What put you and me together was the intent of infinity. It is impossible to determine what this intent of infinity is, yet it is there, as palpable as you and I are. Sorcerers say that it is a tremor in the air. The advantage of sorcerers is to know that the tremor in the air exists, and to acquiesce to it without any further ado. For sorcerers, there’s no pondering, wondering, or speculating. They know that all they have is the possibility of merging with the intent of infinity, and they just do it.
Storing Information
If you think about life in terms of hours instead of years, your life is immensely long. Even if you thought in terms of days, even then your life would be unending. Sorcerers count their lives in hours. In one hour it is possible for a sorcerer to live the equivalent in intensity of a normal life. This intensity is an advantage when it comes to storing information in the movement of the assemblage point.
The assemblage point, with even the most minute shifting, creates totally isolated islands of perception. Information, in the form of experiences in the complexity of awareness can be stored there.
The information is stored in the experience itself. Later, when a sorcerer moves his assemblage point to the exact spot where it was, he relives the total experience. This sorcerers’ recollection is the way to get back all the information stored in the movement of the assemblage point
Intensity is an automatic result of the movement of the assemblage point. For example, you are experiencing these moments more intensly than you would ordinarily; and so, in a manner of speaking, you are storing intensity. One day you will relive this moment making your assemblage point return to the precise place where it is now. This is the way that the sorcerers store information.
Intensity, being an aspect of intent, is connected naturally to the shine of the sorcerers’ eyes. In order to recall those isolated islands of perception sorcerers need only intent the particular shine of their eyes associated with whichever spot they want to return to.
All I can say is that the eyes do it. I don’t know how, but they do it. They summon intent with something indefinable that they have, something in their shine. Sorcerers say that intent is experienced with the eyes, not with the reason.
Because his intensity rate is greater than normal, in a few hours a sorcerer can live the equivalent of a normal lifetime. His assemblage point, by shifting to an unfamiliar position, takes in more energy than usual. That extra flow of energy is called intensity.
