By understanding their system better than they do.

Knowledge (two standing on a 'high place') trumps the ignorance of 'the field'.

An Understanding, gained through that knowledge trumps that 'knowledge'.

Aleister Crowley became a head magician, in part because he discovered how the cabal had been mislead and 'doing it wrong' for quite some time.

Proof that the average cabalist isn't really 'all that' in knowledge of the system they filched from past systems.

Crowley/Blavatsky/Mathers/Guerdijeff were all commissioned to compile information to form a cohesive system of Magick. Their pupils are lesser characters and now mostly rely upon technology as 'magical component'.

In other words, while at the height of their 'power'......the magick is actually quite weak, robots replacing researchers doing the their Herculean labors for them.

Everyone's lesson in all this: Learn the ways of the snake, and throw it down when confronted by one, and you can truly say "Your magic does not work here."

That's the End of them and the beginning of the new 'us'. Hard work towards The Light instead is it's own reward.
