Chaos Magic and the Binary of Initiation

He defines magical initiation as a binary "before and after" experience triggered by extreme encounters, such as DMT journeys or Whitley Strieber-style events.

Greek Mathematics and Probabilistic Magic

White explains that Western magic is hampered by its Greco-Roman roots, as the ancient Greeks excelled at geometry but never invented the concept of probability. He argues that because the universe is probabilistic, modern magic must incorporate a statistical understanding. His method of "hiding the vegetables" involves teaching practitioners to think in terms of probability through the specific construction and activation of sigils.
