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.

Mega.nz has decided to terminate my account due to copyright complaints again - the last time +16 GB of books were lost, this time it's 19 GB, and I'not sure if I want to go to all that reuploading hassle yet again, either on mega or an alternative hoster, only to see my book stash posted here go down the drain again. The book sharing issue is already being discussed among both forum staff and members but in the meantime I'd like to ask you to download this book from annas-archive.org or welib.org yourselves.

Hi @HoldAll . Would you be able to re-up, please? I am aware your original mega account was removed. So very sorry that happened to you.

Yeah, I know... I got me a new mega account because the old one was nuked due to copyright violations. I've updated the link in the orignal post now.
