The Magic Mirror Representing a Link Between Living & Deceased Persons Supposing you wish to use the mirror to communicate with a friend or somebody else, or to give orders to a person to write to you or come to see you, proceed as follows: Load the surface of the mirror with akasa, meditating on the fact that everywhere between yourself, the mirror and your friend there is akasa, that neither time nor space exists anymore. Hold onto this sensation in deep meditation, and at the same time wish to see your friend in the mirror. A few moments later you will see the person you wish to see like in a panoramic picture, and notice what the person is engaged with at the moment, and the nearest surroundings too. At the same time, you will experience the sensation of standing next top the person. If the surroundings are familiar to you, you will be able to convince yourself of the truth of what you saw in the mirror with the help of mental wandering. Provided the magician has been trained correctly, his astral senses duly schooled, his experiences with the magic mirror will correspond to the real facts as he may state with the help of spirit-wandering. Otherwise, you have to repeat the experiment frequently until you are quite sure that the things you see are in accordance with the real facts, which can be corroborated without any doubt by personal scrutiny. If for instance you notice that the person you wish to see is asleep, then with the help of the imagination draw the spirit, that is the mental body into your mirror and condense it through your will to such a degree that the person really seems to stand in front of you. If you managed to accomplish this, give the order you have been thinking about to the person. Doing this, you have to observe the mood of the present imperative, just as you did when performing self-suggestion, because it is possible that the subconscious of the other person will start to oppose. But not one truly wise magician will degrade himself to give any orders for the sake of an evil purpose. The akasa principle would take severe revenge on him. Furthermore, it is possible to make an astral contact with another magician of the same degree of development with the help of the magic mirror, and everything the practicant is talking about in the mirror will be perceived by his colleague, even at the remotest distance, sometimes so loudly as to be heard quite distinctly by a sensitive person in the neighborhood, although all is spoken from a great distance. Deceased persons can be called up to appear in the mirror in the same manner. In this case, one has to concentrate on the akasa and to imagine the person, or one has to think intensely that he or she may appear. If one wants to call a person one did not know, one has to concentrate on a certain clue dating from the time when the person was alive; one calls the name into the akasa and waits in deep meditation for the appearance of the deceased being. In a very short time the being will show up in the mirror and the magician can express his desires. At the beginning, the communication with the deceased person will take place in a sort of thinking aloud, but later on one can really make conversation if one wants to. One has the opportunity as well to make the deceased person step out of the mirror and condense the appearance with the help of the earth element so that the person becomes visible even to the eye of any person who is absolutely untrained. It is entirely up to every individual how much he wishes to specialize in this work. Various other beings can be called up and condensed too, but the details about this problem will be found in my work The Practice of Magical Evocation, because certain rules of conduct have to be considered here.
