Aleister Crowley was a early twentieth century magician. One of his less mentioned books, Magick in Theory and Practice, was first published, as far as I can tell, in 1929.
It defines magick as “the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will…..Every intentional act is a Magical Act.” By this definition, every time we cause change to occur we are doing magic. But notice that capital “W” in will. The Will that Crowley is talking about is not merely the act of wanting and acting on those desires, it is our True Will, the will of our higher self which is in touch with the power of the universe. He continues: “A Man whose conscious will is at odds with his True Will is wasting his strength. He cannot hope to influence his environment efficiently…… A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.”

"Crossing the Abyss" is regarded as a perilous operation, and the most important work of the magician's career. Success confers graduation into the degree of Magister Templi, or "Master of the Temple."
that's what the movie 2001 space odyssey was .
that's what the star war trilogy was
that's what interstellar was
i do like interstellar ,our scarecrow with a diploma cooper (mcconaughey) after "Crossing the Abyss" a perilous operation and he finishes up back on the farm sat on the porch talking to the tinman ,this time inside a psience fiction twister called coopers station an O'Neill Cylinder.
Dr. O'Neill argued that life onboard an O'Neill Cylinder would be better than some places on Earth.[6] This would be because of an abundance in food, climate and weather control, and the fact that there would be no need for vehicles that use combustion engines that would create smog and pollution.
that's why the scarecrow with a diploma cooper (mcconaughey) left after all, to save dorothy's future .
