One goal of meditation is to see how the apparent/real world is actually a dream.. in other words that it is nothing more than a fantasy. And what is a fantasy? It’s fiction projected from the mind for the purpose of enjoyment.

Once one realizes that the real world is nothing more than a fantasy, one opts to become a monk or magickian.

The monk sees Maya for what it is and takes definite steps to not reincarnate into this dream world: they want to go home and cease all fantasies. They know for certain that this world is nothing but the Cosmic Mind thinking that there are 5 densities (solid, liquid, gas, heat/light, space) and 3 qualities (tamas, rajas and sattva) and dancing them about for the purpose of leela (cosmic play).

The magickian learns to weave a new web of reality grasping the fictional yarn of “reality” and bending it for Low Magick or High Magick purposes. Low Magick involves satisfying personal cravings. High Magick involves satisfying the Creators desire/fantasy.

Both monks and magickians see “the real world” as a fantasy. They operate with it differently. Both are welcome at fantasy island.
