"There is an old story about a Magician and his two apprentices. It starts out when both students of magic came to ask their teacher, what is the difference between white and black magic? The older Magician told his disciples that they both would have to go through exactly the same methods of training in order to discern the answer to that kind of question. Years passed and both apprentices learned precisely the same magical techniques and practices as the other, until one day the Magician called them both to his home. The apprentices were very curious because their teacher had never invited them both into his home at the same time before, so they knew it was an auspicious event. There, the three sat still in silence for a good amount of time until the Magician spoke. He said, “Today, you will discover what you came here for. You shall know the difference between white and black magic…as one of you will become a black magician and the other white.”"
This astounded both apprentices, as neither one had any idea which would become the white magician and which would turn black. Both trained in magical ways in the same way…both were approximately the same age and disposition. In fact, there were far more similarities than differences between them on the whole. Puzzled, they followed the Magician out to the Periphery of the World, whereupon they hiked to the Edge and waited for the Magician to speak. “This is the Edge of the World. Beyond the Edge is the Great Abyss. For you to claim your last piece of magical knowledge from me, you must jump over the Edge and out into the Abyss.” At this time, one of the apprentices leapt into the Great Abyss and the other turned around and ran the opposite direction, only to return a short time later. The apprentice asked the Magician who was the Black and White Magician. The Magician looked at him and spoke, “The White Magician leapt into the Abyss.”" — Angel Tech: A Modern Shaman's Guide to Reality Selection" by Antero Alli, Robert Anton Wilson
