- 1. Space Impregnation
| Appendix to Step III The scholar who has arrived at this point of his magic development will already observe a general transmutation of his individuality. His magic faculties will increase in all the spheres. As to the mental sphere, he will have attained a stronger willpower, greater resistance, a better memory, a keener observation, and a clear intellect. In the astral sphere, he will notice that he has become calmer and steadier and, according to his aptitudes, he will further develop the faculties still slumbering in him. In the material world, he will persuade himself that he feels healthier, fitter and sort of rejuvenated. His vital force will far surpass that of his fellow men and he will achieve a great deal in everyday life by means of his emissive power. For example, he will be able to free any room he is living in from unfavorable influences. He will be able to treat sick persons successfully, even at remote distances, because he can emit his rays for miles. Besides, his emissive force allows him to charge objects with his desire. The scholar then will find out for himself when and where he can best utilize his magical faculties. But he should never forget that magic powers can be used for the good as well as for egoistic purposes. Remember the quotation: “Thou shall reap what thou hast sown”. Always let your final goal be to do noble things and to make mankind better. The technique of magnetism presents all possible variations, of which we are going to show you some. 1. Space Impregnation Through pulmonary and pore breathing of your entire body, you inhale vital force, pressing it with all your imagination into your whole body so that it becomes as it were dynamically radiant. Your body is something like the radiant energy, an individual sun. With every inhalation you enforce the compressed vital power as well as the radiant energy, and fill the room you live in. With the aid of this radiant power, the room must be literally sunlit. With repeated and persistent exercise, it is even possible to illuminate the room in darkness or at night to such a degree that objects can be perceived not only by the experimenter by also by laymen, because it is possible in this way to materialize the light of the vital force in the form of real daylight, which properly speaking is a simple imagination exercise. This phenomenon alone will not of course satisfy the magician, who knows that vital force has a universal character, being not only the carrier of his ideas, thoughts and desires, but also the realizer of his imagination, and that he can attain all things through this vital power. As for realization, it depends on the plastic imagination. If the experimenter has filled his work room with his radiant energy, he ought to imagine what he wishes to attain, e.g., that all astral or magic influences existent in the room shall disappear and dissolve, or the magician shall feel safe and sound in the room as well as all people coming in. Besides, the magician may impregnate his rooms with the desire of being benefited in all his works by inspiration, success, etc. Advanced magicians screen their rooms from unwelcome people by rendering them restless and uncomfortable as soon as they enter the room so that they leave, unwilling to remain in there. Such a room is loaded or impregnated with protective or alarming ideas. But it is possible to load any room in more subtle ways so that anyone who enters the room without permission will feel sort of paralyzed and repelled. You see, a magician is offered a lot of possibilities, and with the help of these instructions, you can find out other methods. The magician can give back the accumulated vital virtue to the universe, when breathing out, leaving the radiant or illuminating force in the room only with the aid of his imagination. But through this same imagination he can also suggest the vital force from the universe directly to the room without accumulating it by his physical power, especially if he ahs got some practice in accumulating vital force. This way, he can impregnate a room even with his own desires. Imagination combined with willpower and faith and firm conviction knows no bounds. These experiments of the magician do not depend on one definite room; he may impregnate two or more rooms at the same time, and load an entire house with his vital force and radiant energy, according to the aforesaid method. As imagination knows neither time nor space, he can do all this at the remotest distance. As time goes on and his technique improves, he will be able to load any room whatever and wherever. But with regard to his ethical development, he will never make the wrong use of his faculties, but do noble things only, and his power will be unlimited, for practice makes perfect. Download 0.49 Mb.
