"If man is capable of evolving. The grand task of sorcerers is to bring forth the idea that, in order to evolve, man must first free his awareness from it's bindings to the social order. Once awareness is free, intent will redirect it into a new evolutionary path.
Do you think sorcerers will succeed in that task?
They already have succeeded . They themselves are the proof. To convince others of the value and import of evolving is another matter."

Evolution involves adaptation to changes occurring around you. Most of the primates walking around the planet would just as soon avoid change altogether. If they cannot avoid it, they resist it with all their might. Generally, it must become a life-or-death situation before they will advance, kicking and screaming, into the unfamiliar.
Under these conditions, spiritual evolution at the level the author is discussing is highly unlikely. Convincing those who are not already actively pursuing evolution that it is beneficial? Not gonna happen.

I truly believe that the ultimate goal of mankind is anarchy. But we are still a long way from being spiritually ready for it. When we get there, we can finally throw off the shackles of hierarchy and oppression, and live as equals. Of course, the first step is to realize this for yourself in your own life. Maybe the world will catch up later.

I wouldn't say that raising the spirituality of our race is an adaptation. It is already possible obviously if some people can achieve a spiritual life. Spirituality is imborn in all of us and we need to rid our minds of all the distractions and just know ourselves. I think the "sorcerers" can do that and by doing that the people who aren't living spiritualy will realize how much better life can be. Thus becoming sorcerers and spreadddin the word.

That's a very optimistic view. It's just a likely that the opposite will be true.
However, since it can't be known either way, I tend toward optimism and agree with you.
-------------------- Republican Values: 1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you. 2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child. 3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer. 4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
