Maybe it is helpful to introduce the notion of personal and impersonal here, as Nu Lang did. That the personal shifts to hold the AP, but the more impersonal keeps the overall stuff, intent, and helps pull us back. Nice Watergaze. Its what I was seeing too. So being a sorcerer is, in large part, about balancing these aspects personal/impersonal (harmony) in order to navigate smoothly in this ever challenging exisitence.
And I just want to elaborate on what I meant. The reason I see the personal holds the ap is due to self-purpose (path with heart) and the desire for individual existence which is to experience the wonders being alive. To do this we need to 'be' ...an individual. What warriors learn is to be a fluid individual, so they journey farther into the abstract/spiritual planes.
So ap positions are sought/held and even released by personal will/heart desire. The impersonal has the broader view (eternal, knows past/present/future as one) and thus guides us and lends us its perceptual consciousness (we see the future before it comes about, we read minds, we understand lessons of the past) all from this broader impersonal perspective that hold us and responds to our will especially as we align with it. Its the mystery (how does a seed grow?) that we can count on even if we don't understand its operations entirely, it seems it understand entirety, in the most astounding unimaginable and encompassing way. To lose the self and become entirely it would end the journey, as I see it. Its better to lose human form and continue the journey of self this way.
