Damien's first step was to "understand" once again.
It was the most important thing in this realm, but he was doing it a little differently this time.
He wanted to know what this place was purely out of curiosity. Sure, he wanted to exploit it, but that was meaningless to his current efforts.
He was being sincere and honest with the world in hopes that it wanted to see that from him.
In most cases, those with pure intentions would always flourish. Human emotion polluted the connection between people and the world. That wasn't necessarily always a bad thing, but when trying to reach the world to this degree, it was better to empty the mind of such thoughts.
In essence, entering a state of nothingness.
It was a little bit of a coincidence for Damien to choose this direction. However, it was indeed what he needed to do.
