The sorcerer, within the area covered by Yesod, Hod, Netsach and Malkuth.
The man of knowledge or mystic tries to live in Tipareth which has access through the paths (awarenesses) to the entire tree.
Just outside of a normal man's worldview or descrition of this world (Malkuth) is the viewpoint of someone who has experienced something of the paranormal (Yesod) we could call that the astral world. Both the normal man's world view or description and the sorcerer's worldview and description are self reflective. We interpret them from past experience.
When you touch on the Sphere of Tipareth there is a direct path that leads to Chokmah across the Abyss of Daath. Here there is no need of interpretation. You just know something you did not know before. This is what I call a Spiritual experience.
An example would be that normal men look at another person and sees a physical body and can ascertain a lot about that other person by body language and age and the expression on their face.
A person operating from the second point of view might see them as an egg of energy or as a body surrounded by layers of light or auras. which they may or may not be able to interpret.
A person operating from the next level will be able to look at the other person and know what they are thinking, know whether or not they are lying and know when they are lying to themselves or just to you. So that both their general character and their momentary thoughts are layed bare at a level that even the person being observed
doesn't know about themselves. Also the person does not look at all like a human being.
This actually makes a lot of sense, thanks . I also resonate with what you said about Spiritual experience.
