Magical Physical Training (V)

levitation exercises with the purpose to magically prepare any part of the body in such a manner that such beings can manifest themselves with the help of levitation. Let us begin the practice at once:
Sit comfortably in front of a table and put your hands on it. Perform an accumulation of vital power in your right hand and concentrate on the fact that you are able to manage your hand and your fingers solely with your willpower, i.e., not with the help of the muscles. Afterwards,
let the accumulated vital power diffuse into the universe by way of the imagination. Now begin with the proper levitation exercise. Accumulate the air element in the forefinger of the right hand, and concentrate on the forefinger becoming as light as air. Next try to imagine that you are lifting the forefinger with the help of your willpower, leaving the hand with the other fingers quiet and motionless on the table. You must have the feeling that it is not your muscles lifting the finger, but that your willpower is doing so. As soon as you have managed to get the finger up, let it drop by your willpower. Should you stop to concentrate while the finger is still aloft, it would drop instantly. One could try this only to establish how far the willpower or the muscles are intervening in it. If you are able to levitate the forefinger of the right hand with your willpower, you can proceed in the same manner with the other fingers.
The levitation exercise is fulfilled as soon as you can lift and drop all the fingers of the right hand at your own will. Now proceed in the same way with your left hand and its fingers.
Having managed this as well, try to lift the whole hand this way, first the right hand and afterwards the left one. Provided you can notice a success after several exercises, go ahead by lifting the hand at will not only up to the wrist, but right up to the elbow. You can extend these exercises and lift both hands at once with the help of your willpower. Should the magician decide to extend these exercises over the whole body, he would succeed after a while, without any doubt, in raising his whole body by his willpower. He would be able to walk upon the water without sinking down; he could even ascend into the air with his whole body and accomplish numerous other similar actions just as it pleases him. It is of course obvious that he would have to practice these exercises for many years in order to gain the aforesaid success. Grand adepts do manage to produce such phenomena without any difficulty without being forced to do such exercises for years, because it all depends on the magical maturity and development. Never will any magician of a high rank perform phenomena of that kind without an urgent reason, and least of all to satisfy the curiosity of other people. At our stage of development, we shall be content to move the hands and fingers according to our own will. Having reached this point, we shall turn to a different preparatory exercise which is absolutely necessary for the passive communication with the invisible ones. I shall demonstrate the practice as follows:
Sit down at a table and rest your hands calmly on it. Now try plastically to imagine that your spiritual hand is protruding from the physical one. Put the psychic hand close by the physical one or let it glide through the table to your knees. You have to regard the imaginary spiritual hand as your real one. In the carnal hand there is now occurring a mental vacuum that has the shape of the external hand. At this moment, think that the carnal hand is quite harmless,
being thus in the fourth dimension, the akasa principle. If you did manage this for a short while, go back again with your mental hand into the carnal one and finish the exercise.
Repeat this several times until you succeed in exteriorizing the hand as described for at least five minutes. You can work on the other hand in the same manner. As soon as you have managed this very well, you are prepared to take up the communication with the invisible ones.
We can see by now that the magic preparation is very different from that of the spiritualists who behave passively insofar as they take a pencil into their hands and write or paint.
Whether the messages that are asked for by the medial writing or painting of the spiritualists

are actually coming out of the fourth dimension – or the way they say it, from the world beyond – or whether they originate only in the subconsciousness of the medium in question is entirely left to the judgment of the magician.
A hand that has been exteriorized according to our method has really been transplanted into the fourth dimension and can be seen by any being of that sphere that wants to use if to send messages to our material world. As soon as the beginner has done these exercises, he is able to communicate with the beings of the fourth dimension. The magician will first of all try to come in contact with his guardian genius, his spiritual guide to whom he has the closest relationship. Every scholar of magic is fully aware of the fact that the Divine Providence at the hour of his birth has given him a being with the purpose to watch over its protégée, to guide and to inspire him. In accordance with the development and the karma, this being can be a deceased person or else an intellectual entity not yet embodied on this planet. This being takes care of the spiritual comfort of the protégée mostly up to the puberty period. The more man is maturing intellectually, the less attention does the spiritual leader pay to him,
especially in cases of people who do not even remember their guide. The contact is loosened more and more. A lot could be said about the ranks of such guardians and their activity as well, but that would overstep the frame of this work. The magician certainly has got the faculty to communicate with his guide to learn all he wants to know and to receive everything he is in need of. Provided he is honestly interested in the whole problem of ennobling his character and working hard on his magical development, he may be quite sure that his guide will try first to make himself known to him. Therefore the scholar should aspire to come into contact with this guardian genius. Here follows the necessary practice:
Take a sidereal pendulum. It does not have to be a special pendulum; a ring or a small object will do likewise, even a nail tied to a silk thread if nothing else is conveniently near. Twist the end of the thread several times around your forefinger. The pendulum is swinging about
8-12 inches free in the air. Sit down at a table and put both your hands on it. The elbow of the hand holding the pendulum is to be propped on the table. The hand is to be kept upright with the pendulum swinging free about 2-3 inches above the tabletop. Put a glass of water, a vase or any tinkling object about 2-3 inches from the pendulum. As son as you have finished all the preparations according to these instructions, exteriorize your mental hand from the one holding the pendulum and put the mental hand close by the carnal one. Having done so,
develop a state of trance in yourself for a few moments, the way you have been instructed in the chapter about mental training by recognizing yourself with your consciousness in the solar plexus; therefore you are now in the fourth dimension. In this condition, call your guide and ask him in your mind that he might man ifest to you with the help of your magically prepared hand. Keep silent and observe the pendulum, beseeching the guide at the same time to indicate with one stroke of the pendulum on the glass a “no”, with two strokes “perhaps”, and with three strokes a “yes”. You will be very astonished indeed to notice that the pendulum is beginning to move, giving the requested strokes. Sensitive people will even notice that the hand holding the pendulum has been moved by a strange hand. You will probably have the feeling that your own hand has become a glove with a strange hand in it that is moving the pendulum. Other persons again will not notice anything at all, but instead have the sensation that the desire is guiding the mind indirectly, moving the muscles of the hand and hence causing the pendulum to sway to and fro. The outcome is absolutely individual and depends on the aptitudes. Supposing the first attempt to produce the communication with the spiritual leader should fail, there is no need to be discouraged. After a few more attempts, every scholar will certainly succeed in bringing about the communication. Once the connection has been established, one can ask questions to the leader whether mentally or aloud, which will be answered with a yes or no or perhaps. The questions mainly ought to concern the leader

himself, for example if he is willing to manifest himself or if he is already embodied on this planet and such like.
As soon as the contact has been brought about with the help of the pendulum one can use a
“planchette” instead of waiting for the strokes on the glass. This gadget is a circular disk divided in sections, each marked with a letter of the alphabet; a small circular blank is left in the center of it. The pendulum will point out single letters and by spelling the letters, one will receive messages in detail from the leader. After achieving a good result, one can arrange for a bigger planchette containing the entire alphabet, numbers, sections with yes, no and perhaps, days and hours. In the center is a blank space to start from. For performances with this planchette, the pendulum is replaced with a small liqueur glass. Trace an arrow with ink or paint to serve as a pointer on the base of the glass. Now take the lower part of the glass between your forefinger and middle finger and allow the glass to be moved on the letters by the leader’s hand. The arrow will then indicate the respective letter. To operate an easier gliding motion of the glass, one can set the planchette under glass, because the liqueur glass will move about much more easily on the smooth glass base. The scholar may find out for himself such and similar appliances. He will also find many constructive observations in the spiritualistic literature. All that matters is satisfaction of the most urgent needs of the moment.
A further method is to beseech the leader to lift the forefinger of the magically prepared hand.
Ask him to lift the finger once if the answer is no, twice if perhaps, and three times if the answer is yes. Noticing a success with the forefinger, try it with the other fingers too. One will notice that there is always a certain finger that is particularly easy to get on with. One ought to stick with the finger that is moving best. This of course depends on the flexibility.
The magician will appreciate this method very much because it will enable him to operate a passive connection with the invisible world, either with his leader or with a deceased person,
even in a situation where a planchette or a pencil cannot be used, such as at a party, outdoors,
and so on. If he has acquired a certain skill in this matter, he can even hold his hand in his pocket and get replies of yes or no in a vas crowd. Having managed all these experiments, one can take up the mediumistic writing. The method is as follows:
Put a sheet of paper in front of you and take a pencil between thumb and forefinger like you do for writing. Now push a rubber ring not too tight over your thumb, forefinger and middle finger. You can make this ring by cutting it off a bicycle tire. The purpose of the ring is not to have to concentrate entirely on holding the pencil. Now induce a trance in yourself, call your spiritual leader, prepare your right hand magically for him to write with. In the beginning you will notice only some uneven lines, later on illegible words, and after some exercising, words and sentences will come about. When one sheet of paper has been filled with writing, change it for a new one. You can get a reply to every question. By constant exercising you will acquire such a skill that the medial writing does not cause any difficulty at all. In this manner you will be able to call deceased friends, relatives and members of your family with whom you want to get in touch. The magician will be convinced that there is no such thing as
“hence” and “beyond”, that there are only different degrees of density in the fourth dimension where divers beings exist, and death will not mean the end of everything to him, but a passing over to the fourth dimension.
Finally I should like to remark that there are several kinds of medial writing according to the aptitudes, which I shall mention briefly:

1. The automatic (mechanical) method: In this case, the hand moves absolutely automatically, without the magician knowing what he wants to write or what the spirit concerned is going to write. Messages in foreign languages will also be received, even in languages the magician does not know and has never heard before. Paintings and drawings can be created as well.
2. The inspirational method – the most frequent: here the messages will be given I a sort of thinking aloud inside or outside the own personality. In this case, one practically knows beforehand what the being is about to write. By frequent repetition this inspiration will become a loud thinking and listening in the passive communication. One will perceive messages from the depth of the soul or from outside of the self.
3. The intuitive method where you have the feeling as if you did the writing yourself. Any questions will be answered instantly. Nobody but oneself appears to know the answer to the question. This is a kind of clair-knowledge. The hand writes words and sentences in full consciousness, without the person hearing anything or being inspired in any way.
The methods also can appear in a mixed kind, for example half automatic and half inspirational or intuitive and inspirational or all together. Which of the methods will be the dominant one will only be known after a long period of exercising. Each of the methods is good and reliable, provided you are using it honestly and candidly. Practice makes perfect!
Now I should like to give a comment with regard to the questions one is going to ask the beings and to the answers one can expect. First of all, the magician is not supposed to boast of his exercises and results. The ore silent he is keeping about his communication with the invisible ones, the better for him. Furthermore, when choosing the questions to be asked, you always have to consider that the beings you are contacting are subject to laws different from those we have to deal with on this physical plane. Besides, beings that have been living before on this earth will soon lose their orientation because our physical plane is tri-dimensional, depending on time and space which does not occur I the sphere of the fourth dimension. Only highly developed beings are capable of giving correct information about time, events, future, etc. Consequently the magician will first inquire about the home of those beings and rather prefer messages about the fourth dimension for the sake of his own education. Later on, as soon as the scholar has developed his spiritual senses, he will no longer need the passive communication with the invisible ones because he is himself able to achieve anything about which such a being could inform him. The passive communication only serves the purpose to be convinced of the existence of another world which everybody will enter and live in after passing away.
