Just a little gloss on what Greg is saying. One does not transcends the material self, the limited self, the ego, in order to obtain power. The purpose is to achieve unity with the Cosmic Self (or for the EWF mystics, the Cosmic Dragon).

However, someone who achieves unity with the Cosmic Self will have tremendous power as a byproduct of that unity. But this power is very different from theistic magic (or sorcery or animism).
