Just a short article I copypasta'd from sacred-texts.com which I think is extremely important and even moderately famous. It was written by Frater U.D. (Ralph Tegtmeier) in 1991 and proved seminal and groundbreaking - in chaos magic circles and for magicians with a theoretical bent that is, because as far as 'mainstream' occult authors are concerned, we're still oscillating between the Spirit, the Energy and the Psychological Models with all their limitations. The energy model in particular is has a tendency to give rise to various fallacies in occult thinking because we willy-nilly think of magical energy in terms of physical energy which e.g. is subject to thermodynamic laws the principles of which in no way apply to magic.

However, this is not the sub-section to go on a rant, I just wanted to describe what the article was all about, and Frater U.D. does a better job of explaining his ideas than I ever could anyway.
