Don Juan:
The world is indeed full of frightening things and we are helpless creatures surrounded by forces that are inexplicable and unbending.
The average man, in ignorance believes that those forces can be explained or changed.
He doesn't really know how to do that but he expects that the actions of mankind will explain them or change them sooner or later.
The sorcerer on the other hand doesn't think of explaining or changing.
Instead, he learns to use such forces by redirecting himself and adapting to there direction.
That's his trick.
There's very little to sorcery once you find out it's trick.
A sorcerer is only slightly better off than the average man.
Sorcery doesn't help him to live a better life. In fact I should say that sorcery hinders him.
It makes his life cumbersome, precarious.
By opening himself to knowledge, a sorcerer becomes more vulnerable than the average man.
On the one hand, his fellow men hate him, and fear him, and will strive to end his life.
On the other hand, the inexplicable and unbending forces that surround every one of us by right of our being alive, are for a sorcerer a source of even greater danger.
To be pierced by a fellow man is indeed painful.
But nothing in comparison to being touched by an ally.
A sorcerer by opening himself to knowledge falls prey to such forces and has only one means of balancing himself.
His will. Thus he must feel and act like a warrior.
I will repeat this once more.
Only as a warrior can one survive the path of knowledge.
What helps a sorcerer live a better life is the strength of being a warrior.
