If you use the blue or purple crystals which you may also procure
from us, you can become a genuine clairvoyant by entering this state,
for the crystal will tend to concentrate your mind upon what is
necessary to an unfoldment. And again, the blue or purple crystal
is better than the mere transparent ones as they tire the optic nerve
and might produce paralysis of the eye nerve.
All power is contained in the air that you breathe, so all depends
upon the knowledge of storing in this air, and of securing the vital
principle that it contains. This is the entire secret of all oriental
Psychic powers—But of course this has nothing to do with the spiritual
ones.
The student should know that he must not eat meat, or use any
heavy foods, smoke tobacco, and he should always just previous to
the practice of his exercises drink a glass of hot milk with, a little
lump of butter melted in it.
After you have entered into the state of Consciousness without
thought, all depends upon Polarisation and Vibration to accomplish
what phenomena that you desire. The most interesting phenomena is
produced by suggestion. Complete self-catalepsy, oriental burial
alive, suspension of life itself, and many other occult things may all
be accomplished by the method that I have given you.
You will notice when you first practice, that the body will perspire
freely, in the next stage it will quiver, then, lastly, it will jump, but
do not worry, for this will in time vanish. Also, you will in little or
no time, commence to have visions and to see the departed dead,
but later on this will all materialize into genuine Psychic Power.
You should not to start with, and especially alone, try astral body
traveling, for it might end up disastrously for you. It is always best
to have a friend on hand, and tell him if you do not awaken in fifteen
minutes to call you and to say: "When I count three you will be
wide awake." This is the safest plan, and one of the best for prevention.
Prevention is a great thing in Occultism. Remember that
you must practice these exercises 4 times every day.
Suggestion along with this great and simple and PRACTICAL
method that I have given you will unfold all the great psychic centres
in your psychic-economy. In the chart on this work, which is in
this work, you will see how that these centres work, communicate, and
assist in the telegraphic communications of what is to ;be done. Prom
the auditory centre man comes in contact with the visual centres^
and these act both dependent and independent of one another. The
psychic depends only in a little way upon the physical, but the physical
depends upon the psychical, and again the causal depends on none
of these, because it is the All in man.
If you practice for automatic writing, use the same method, and
have paper and pencil ready and you will be surprised at the instant
result. The moment that your mind ceases to vibrate with your conscious
thoughts, that very instant you will commence to make great
progress. You must always "Expect" and then this again will wonderfully
tend to assist the operations of your mind along the way of
directing it to its final unfoldment and realization. The subconscious
mind is only the animal mind in man, when we come to the conscious
mind which is the mere thinking and acting one in man, but above all
this we find the region of pure mystery and genius, which is the Superconscious
mind—in the sublime regions of Intuition. If you would
develop your intuitive powers first unfold this superconscious mind,
for it is the secret of all power.
When you associate yourself with a thing you become that thing.
So also with this superconsciousness, you will become it. The lever
of Archimedes is not any other thing but this control of this psychic
air, which the orientals term Prana, or the Vital principle. These
psychic centres which I have shown you on another page of this work
constitute an apparatus which combines the activity of your sense
centres into a higher entity, and this is brought about by practicing
this exercise, which produces an ecstatic condition of your mind, and
by associating yourself with what you desire through self-suggestion.
Now Polarisation and Vibration are all included in this exercise, so
all the mere "talk and philosophy I have left out, and in the very
start I have given you only what is practical and reasonable, and
which my own common sense prescribes and approves. Shakespeare,
Milton, Napoleon, Christ, Confucius, and thousands of men have consciously
or unconsciously practiced or exercised this selfsame principle
in the abstract, this explains their wonderful successes in life.
The same is possible and the way is opened now to all—so all that
you have to do is to practice.
