The Vampire and his emissary, Kundry, are the being of the shadow, not just any shadow, but the Aspirant’s shadow. He will cunningly wait for the Neophyte to strengthen and widen his horizons; he does it so openly for the Vampire. Growing with his subtle body, his head will indeed be in the Heavens and his feet far on the Earth, but how large will the shadow be of such a huge structure?
The Neophyte is indeed the vehicle of his star, as much as the body is the instrument of his Angel.
The Neophyte is a newcomer, but not because he gets new experiences. Rather, it is because he gets right experiences.

Its universality lies in the exact condition of any certain progress, and that is the wisdom of defining mutual relationships. Qabalah defines the whole Universe not by descriptions, but by relations.
