I used this "failure means death" mentality to get through many obstacles even in the mundane life in magic it was even more wild. My guides had to teach me that I need to make mistakes and not consider a mistake death because on the path you will do many mistakes but you will have to awaken the "automatic self correction instinct". Like how your legs sometimes automatically make a sudden movement to prevent your fall. There is a part on the path when you can "No longer fall". Buddhists say that is when you can start walking as a Bodhisattva

The reason why I said this because I don't get his "origin motive". On the path the real reason "why we do it" is more important than the "How".
He just wanted an explanation that somehow conforms to his mundane mental framework. The framework that says this is not real and only coincidences and mental illnesses. The only way to "Help him" is to appear before him and "prove him wrong" but that is also wrong. That might cause mental scars and might ruin his path on an another level.

Once the "Why?" is understood the "How?" comes naturally. Motivation is the key. Method comes after.

But I am pretty sure you know that how easy things become once you get in touch with your "inner voice" and with the "others"
