Lastly, it is imperative that we emphasize that while everything is interconnected, not everything is equally interconnected. There are numerous 'walled gardens' both in culture and online, where you will be unable to influence or even access those within those areas. Language barriers and geographical distance also restrict access to networks. You must begin by using the tools at hand, the networks at your disposal, and develop from there. Shamanism is inherently rooted in the environment in which the shaman finds himself, hence witchcraft constantly reinvents itself for every new age. Before you can accomplish any measure of work with these tools, you have to learn how to use them. Trees don't grow overnight, nor will your influence within your personal network.
However, over time, the combined force of intention and group dynamics can take root and transform the landscape with the seeds of change you and your mastermind group engineer. In this book we provide you with some very specific techniques. View memetic construction as a way of constructing sigilic webs, or as a method of cybernetic engineering, and find some lab partners. Get a handle on the power of integrity within a pattern, and try simultaneously communicating with others over multiple interfaces with the intention of increasing creativity, and see what develops. Change something simple, like the route you take to work each morning, and document how that influences changes in other patterns.
Simple steps lead to great new places. Mastering even a few of the ideas in this text will improve many aspects of your personal growth, your professional life, and the general health and welfare of the social groups within which you network.
