| 5. The Magic Mirror to Contact Powers, Entities, &c I will describe this method too in my second book, The Practice of Magical Evocation. At this point, let me remark only for the sake of curiosity as follows: Supposing the magician loads his mirror with akasa, imaginatively drawing his sign on the surface with the element analogous to the entity, his character and his symbol, he is able to come in close contact with this respective being of he pronounces the name of the entity according to the universal laws [of Quabbalah]. The contact will enable the magician to achieve anything according to the original properties of the being. The same thing can be said about all the other beings and powers. 6. The Magic Mirror to Influence the Self or Other People Any magic mirror can serve as an excellent help for self-influence, but the best result will be obtained with a mirror equipped with a fluid condenser. There are so many different opportunities of employing it that it is quite impossible to register all of them. Here I can quote only a few practical examples. Draw so much light from the universal ocean of light that you can feel yourself red-hot like a sun. Impregnate this light with the concentration on a desire, wishing for instance that the light and its radiation might bestow intuition, inspiration or any other desirable faculty on you or make you realize a certain truth. Now let the light flow through your hands onto the surface of the mirror and accumulate there until all of the light has passed from your body into the mirror. Form the light into a brilliant white ball emitting extremely intense rays. Repeat this loading several times at short intervals until you are quite sure that the mirror has been so intensely loaded that the rays are penetrating right through your body, spirit and soul, releasing the influence you have been wishing for. Now with the help of your willpower and imagination, combined with a firm conviction, bind this light to the surface of the mirror for so long a time as you need it, and then dissolve it again. You have to be so firmly convinced of the effect and the influence of the light that not a shade of doubt will arise in you. It is just this unshakable and firm conviction that gives this enormous dynamic power to the radiance of the light, coming very near to a physical effect. Some years ago, I myself loaded a magic hollow glass mirror in this manner so strongly that it burst into hundreds of chips, and I had to procure a mirror made from oak for my task. Sit in front of the mirror and meditate about the truth you wish to recognize or about the problems you want to solve. After finishing the mediation, interpose the akasa principle or induce a trance in yourself and you will soon accomplish your task. In any case, you will get a pleasant surprise by working in this manner, and later on you can hardly do without this practice when performing your meditations. If you keep the mirror loaded, you have to protect it from other people looking at it. The best thing to do is wrap it in silk, because silk is well known to be a splendid insulator. You can also direct the rays fro your mirror onto your bed, allowing them to work all night long influencing your subconscious to achieve the desired purpose while you sleep. Your self-suggestion will reinforce the effect and produce a quicker success. It is quite obvious that you will not only arouse cognitions and faculties in this manner, bringing them to a higher level of development, but your soul and your spirit likewise will be influenced in the desired respect. If you do not need the influence of the mirror any longer or a different task requires a different loading, such as the irradiation of akasa or of one of the elements, or electric or magnetic fluids may be wanted, then you have to suppress the first loading in the reversed order with the help of imagination to dissolve the light, sending it back into the universe. You can exert an influence on other people with rays, but in this case the desired loading has to be led to the mirror directly out of the universe with the imagination. So it is possible to accomplish all kinds of experiments such as hypnosis, magnetic sleep, mediumistic conditions, a fact that the magician wil find quite natural. He will therefore arrange his practice accordingly. Download 0.49 Mb. Share with your friends:
