The terms "high magic" and "high alchemy" both imply that the practitioner is a vital part of the alchemical equation or the magical practice. This also means that because the practitioner is required to make certain changes of consciousness within, the desired outcome is in harmony with divine will rather than the practitioner's own desires. This creates what is known as incorruptible, or third ring, magic. The experience of such pristine magic changes not only the environment but the master of high magic as well. Profound evolutionary development takes place in the body.

How Masters of the Runes and Masters of High Magic Relate

Rune masters: There are 672 inner senses that are stirred into inspiration by infinite intent. These speak noncognitively to the outer senses through the acupuncture points. There are 670 points known in traditional acupuncture; the two additional points have been lost during the ages. They are located two finger widths above the navel and three finger widths below the hollow at the base of the neck (the high heart). There are 672 (seven sets of 96) runes that a grand master of the runes interprets as the noncognitive language between inner and outer space called the bridge of no time.

In preparation for this sacred task, they purify the twelve main meridians of the body as well as the eight additional meridians (known as the extraordinary meridians). The twelve primary, or ordinary, meridians respond to the world of our environment: the known. The first two of the eight extraordinary meridians bridge the known and the unknown. They are known as the ren mai and du mai meridians of the bridge of no time.
