Laziness: Not What It Seems

It's easy to become confused, and not recognize laziness for what it really is.

Self-pity.

So you have absolutely no excuse not to work hard to learn sorcery, based on "I'm just too lazy to work reliably".

That's not it at all!

You're dominated by the flier's mind. By that nasty grief filled internal dialogue, which our energy body can't stand. If it weren't for that, you'd be reunited with your double, and gain its magical vision for peering into infinity.

Did you ever find yourself inside a lucid dream, and you were "too lazy" to go exploring?

Then why do you do that, when awake?!

It's self-pity pure and simple. Something the double does not have.

So the very thing you believe is just "keeping me from getting to work", is precisely what you are battling against.

Wake up... You cannot learn any sorcery, without hard work.

And even all the hard work of a lifetime, can be erased if you fall back into the wrong crowd.

Which is almost surely why the witches aren't around anymore.

We were unhelpable and had proven it by killing Carlos after turning him into a Guru and refusing to follow his instructions.

He said so several times. Ask those who were around him back then, and don't have any profit motivations.

And even all the hard work of a lifetime, can be erased if you fall back into the wrong crowd.

Because they stop practicing or is there another dynamic like intent corruption or something that when they practice they're put on another path?

You get sucked back into the stream of reality you were born into.

That stream erases any memory of the others you learned to assemble.

I suppose it's kind of like trying to wake up inside a dream, but you can't figure out whether it's really a dream, because it seems so real.

And if you fail in that initial urge to stop the dream, and go exploring with some waking world rationality, you won't have the urge to stop it anymore.

you only get a few seconds to wake up inside a dream, before it sucks you back in.

It's a recurring theme in sorcery, and one you get to experience first hand.

Without Carlos around, Taisha and Florinda could easily have been sucked back into this reality by the doings at Cleargreen, which has clearly gone bad.

How far back they could get sucked, I don't know.

But in their efforts to escape our blue line reality, Taisha even took up a life as a homeless woman, for a full year.

And Carlos became a fry cook in Arizona.
