With this lesson you will learn how to join and align three elements: the elements of fire, water, and air. Below I repeat the key words for each one of these elements:
Fire:
Hot and dry, positive and electric, expanded light energy. Will, the world of emanation, or caus equilateral triangle.
The Hebrew letter YOD in the Divine name.
The Salamanders, fire spirits or fire elementals.
The Divine spark that is at the root of all manifestation.
Water:
Cold and humid, negative and magnetic, concentrated life energy. Emotions, the world of formation, or the astral plane.
The regular pentagon.
The Hebrew letter HE in the Divine name.
The Undines, water spirits or water elementals.
The formative potential of desire that interacts with the Divine will.
Air:
Hot and humid, positive and magnetic, expanded life energy. Mind, the world of creation, or the mental plane.
The square.
The Hebrew letter VAU in the Divine name.
The sylphs, air spirits or air elementals.
The creative potential of (mental) structuring that links the desire to manifest with the Divine will to manifest.
Earth:
Cold and dry, negative and electric, concentrated light energy. Consciousness, the world of forms, the material plane.
The pentagram.
The Hebrew letter HE in the Divine name.
The gnomes, earth spirits or earth elementals.
The synthesis of the other elements that results in conscious manifestation.

Why Astral Travel Must be Explored
It is because you need to find the happiness which is within and the peace is not achievable if you start to look outward. What you do next is to explore the various realms within. These realms connect with the astral planes. Your sphere of protection will be very useful when you start travelling in this realm.
In this inner workspace you are aware that you are the ruler of your energetic universe. You know that from this workspace you can reach the astral dimension of any energetic form, or realm, of the universe. Once you have estaer comes to you. This may be sounds, touch, visions, thoughts, etc. Your memory is stronger and this will help you recall most of these experiences so that you can write them down after you will have removed yourself from this realm. Some students like to interact with fire elementals, or Salamanders. This type interaction may take the form of a conversation, of a telepathic communication, or anything else.
The main purpose of this experience of astrally travelling through the elemental realm of fire is to get a good understanding of it. Once you have extensively explored that realm, you may connect with it whenever you want to do so. This experience takes the function of being like a utensil. However, this utensil does not have a material object as its focal point like other magical utensils. It is anchored within the realm of your inner workspace. Your access to the fire is a flaming triangle or whatever other shape you like to use. Gradually you will establish many such anchors, or gates, within your inner workspace. In this lesson you will learn to establish gates for the four elemental realms. If you study other forms of magic, you may open up realms to the various energetic hierarchies: the Runes, the planetary spheres, the realm of various groups of entities, mythological realms such as Christian saints, Voodoo deities, Egyptian gods, Tibetan deities, etc.
You may leave this realm whenever you feel a need or whenever you want to do so. For the first time, your astral travel in the realm of fire (or any other element) should not exceed 15 minutes. Gradually you may extend the time of your exploration to one hour. You need to know that it is not important how long you stay in a specific elemental realm, but it is the intensity of experience that counts.
While you explore your inner realm astrally, you do this with the awareness that it is connected with your outer realm and that both are connected with the cosmic realm of the element.

Laws of Structural Links
1 The Basic Principle of Magical Transfer and their Technological Use: Distance is a result of structural differences. This means, in other words: The flow of life energies follows similar structures. In practical application: If you have two identical designs, chi (life energy) can flow between the two designs.
2. If you take an object that was part of a person such as hair, you can establish a bridge of energy with that person. This is so because the genetic code that you find in a hair cell is identical to the genetic code of all other cells of the body of that person. The use of hair, fingernails, blood, or similar things resulted from experience.
3. We can direct life energy with our mind. This is so because our mind can generate structures. If we visualize a person to whom we send life energy, we generate in our mind a structure that's similar to that person. This structure connects with the target person and a flow of energy to that person becomes possible.
4. Equivalent Structures: Equivalent structures are not near identical. They result from determining a well-specified frame of reference as a "universe" for a specific set of effects, energies, or individuals. Individual settings of this frame of reference determine to what event, effect, energy, or individual, the now modified frame of reference connects.
5. Equivalent Structures in Nature. Nature gives us a wide variety of examples of what we call equivalent structures. I each of these cases you can use one system to determine characteristics of the other. The way to determine these characteristics is the result of research into the specifics of the equivalent structure, statistical comparison, and development of models that make translation possible. Good examples are iridology (for diagnosis and to tell about characteristics of the person, even to foretell future trends), foot- and hand reflexology, ear acupuncture, and astrology. In the latter the zodiac and heavenly bodies take the aspect of a large radionics device. The astrological zodiac is a naturally occurring frame of reference. It compares to a huge radionics box that connects with everything on this planet. We can not set the "dials" of our planetary system, but we have other ways of using this radionics device of cosmic proportions. We can calculate in advance the positions of the elements of this radionics box, the planets. Then we can determine the kinds of zodiacal energies that connect with any given individual at any given time. After we determined the nature of the zodiacal energies we can interpret them as trends that are valid for the individual.
6. Artificial Equivalent Structures. There are several symbolism's and devices that humans have developed to be equivalent structures. Whenever our mind determines something to reflect a "universe," i.e., a system that we perceive as closed such as a human being, we can use it as a symbolism that we can use to represent equivalent structures. In such cases the map becomes a structural link to the territory it has the potential to describe. The tree of life is one such device. Other frames of reference are symbolism's of any kind, notably alphabets, Enochian tablets, and mythologies. The radionic device is a more recent development of a frame of reference that allows the establishing of equivalent structures. It is well known that the wiring diagram of a radionics type device establishes a structural link in the same way the radionics device itself does. If you regard this phenomenon in the light of structural links, you have no problem understanding its reason.
We can use artificial equivalent structures to connect with specific energies of a higher order (such as zodiacal energies) which we can then use to generate specific trends. If we connect such a generated trend with a structural link to a person we can influence the trends that this person experiences, i.e., we can modify the "destiny" of the person.
The nature of the cosmic frame of reference, the zodiac, gave rise to a new technology: We have developed a frame of reference that, with specific settings, can connect with the system of cosmic zodiacal energies. This allows us to generate any trend of our liking that we can then project to any target of our liking.
We can use artificial equivalent structures for readings and for practical magic.
The fact that a specific artificial equivalent structure is extremely useful and can be applied universally does not mean that this structure "is" the universe. Such nonsense compares to saying that a map is the territory it represents or our language is the universe. The success of specific magical mappings leads quite often to such assumptions. In the cases where the impact of the mapping is on specific psychological characteristics of the human species and where it fits smoothly some of the existing mechanisms of socio-economic suppression, religions are born. (YES!! From the preceding follows that religion is a result of magical technology that was misinterpreted by primitive humans!)
TO ESTABLISH A SYSTEM OF ARTIFICIAL EQUIVALENT STRUCTURES TO ANYTHING INCLUDING HOE OF THE UNIVERSE, YOU CAN TAKE ANY SET OF ELEMENTS, ARRANGE THEM IN A SPECIFIC MANNER AND ASSIGN SPECIFIC SYMBOLIC VALUES AND MEANINGS TO THE ELEMENTS AND TO THE WAY THE ELEMENTS ARE ARRANGED. DETERMINING FACTORS FOR THE OVERALL SUCCESS ARE FLEXIBILITY AND SYMBOLIC ADJUSTMENT TO THE "UNIVERSE" THAT THE EQUIVALENT STRUCTURE RELATES TO. THE MODEL THAT WE MAKE OF THE UNIVERSE IS A DETERMINING FACTOR
Some of the artificial equivalent structures are true symbolisms while others are simply arrays of symbols. In a true symbolism the structure of the set is important. The position of each element of the symbolism in relation to all others is of significance. Where such a relation is not present, we speak of an array of symbols. Examples of true symbolisms are the tree of life, the tarot, mythologies, the entities of Bardon's spherical magical system, and the Eighteen Sacred Futhork
Runes (the Armanen system - available from HSCTI). Examples of arrays are the Enochian system of magic, the entities of the Lemegeton and most other grimoires, all Runic systems besides the Armanen system, and many of the "artistic" representations of the Tarot.
It is irrelevant whether you "channel" the system of artificial equivalent structures (as is the case with the Enochian system of magic) or feel it as mythology or develop it logically.
Most channeled AES are arrays rather than true symbolisms. The process of the technological evolution of the symbolism remains the same in any of the cases, channeled and logically developed or mythological. Furthermore it is important to realize the following: that an artificial equivalent structure is comprehensive (i.e., there is nothing that you could not apply it for) does not imply that we could not establish infinite many other such systems.
Too many good metaphysicist fell into the trap of accepting some specific system as the "only truth" just because it proved to be comprehensive. A useful map is not a god! The tree of life is not the universe. A mandala is not "all there is to know."
On this place I want to remind the eager traditional magician of something important: What I said above shows clearly that the "mystery school approach" is a thing of the past, if not ridiculous. The invention of the radionics device and the individual approach of creating our own sigils and systems of equivalent structures should LONG AGO have helped us free ourselves from cumbersome "traditions" that take too smoothly the aspect of organized religion.

Everything is connected
Structural Links
A radionics expert once stated that radionics is part of ceremonial magic. He considers the tuner a solidified thought form and the rates representing agreements with the subtle nature spirits.
I can agree with such an animistic approach. In the old times, people thought of lightning being a "god." In fact, they considered practically all natural phenomena, even the planetary energies, as being anthropomorphic gods, i.e., gods that look somewhat like humans. Still in our days most people have a concept of a gaseous mammal above the clouds, usually bearded and of the male sex who "made it all" with "his" hands.
At some point in human history, natural scientists began to develop models that were less anthropomorphic on the one hand and naturally more useful on the other. From such expansion of scientific concepts, they developed new technologies.
Some people may be quite correct if they say that cars are gods that transport us; provided that we appease them with some liquid called gasoline and that we know how to touch them correctly.
It is okay. for humans to satisfy themselves with an animistic approach. With this approach, they are able to use some techniques of magic and radionics if they the “correct tradition" (which means religious tradition) that tells them how to do what.
We have another, more useful, option. We can begin to analyze magical and radionic procedures in scientific terms. That's exactly what we have begun to do in the previous lessons. Naturally, we will find soon that a structural approach has more potential than the old animistic model could ever offer. Such approach will prove to be more useful in many respects. Above all, it will lead us to an understanding of magic and radionics that can easily rid us from the straitjacket of stale traditions. At the same time it will allow vibrant creativity to expand our magical powers to levels that traditionalists are incapable of conceiving.
Practice #19: A cattle prodder
With the following experiment, I am making a point or two. Some people felt upset about me ridiculing certain practices. I suggest to those folks to convince their priests (or whomever) not to ridicule all that has value for me. Then we may talk again. Above all, no one who does not want to do so is required to perform the following experiment!
First, let's fantasize ourselves into an imaginary journey: Imagine yourself traveling to a tribal society somewhere in New Guinea. It needs to be a tribal society that has never heard about civilization as we know it. Among your equipment, you have a cattle prodder that causes electric shocks. Since you know some of the religious beliefs of that society you make some image at the right time (the sacred time of the year) and in a traditional shape. Then you connect this image with your cattle prodder. Chances are that with such a contraption you can convince these people of your divine nature or of your spiritual connection with their sky of gods. It all works because of several reasons: First of all, those good folks have no idea of electricity, but they certainly can feel the shocks. They may think that the shock they get is the power of their gods. Another important facet of your experience is that you adjusted to the existing belief structure. If you did not do it, they would. That could be quite risky since electric shocks are somewhat painful and the connection with a demonic force is always an easy-to-do assumption.
As far as the feeling of life energy is concerned, most of America and Europe compare well to the jungles of New Guinea. Few people know that life force exists. Still less know that they can feel life force. The majority of people deny the very existence of life energy. When selling my Orgone generators I let people feel the energy. This made me realize that about 90% of the people feel life force whether they believe in it or not.
All of this naturally is a fertile ground four our cattle prodder experiment. All you need to do is adjust somewhat to the existing mainstream religion.
I did the experiment in the following way. In a Christian bookstore, I bought a cross that measured about 6 inches in length (the funny thing was that it was made in Communist China. When it comes to money some of these commercially adept folks obviously live deal with the devil!). I drilled a 1/4 inch hole from the top to the center. Then I took a small jewelry type crystal and broke it in two. One half of it I inserted into the hole. I stuffed some paper on top of it to hold it in place. Then I plugged the hole with wood filler the same color as the cross. The other half of the crystal I put on the well of an operating Chi Generator. Now the cattle prodder was in operation and ready for use.
What I did next is having my Christian acquaintances feel it. I made a few commentaries about the power of their God coming from the cross.
Most people feel the life energy when they hold the palm of their hands about one inch above the center of the cross. When they feel this energy under the appropriate circumstances, they are quite logically induced to think that it truly is the power of their God that emanates from the cross. When they feel a slight breeze rather than warmth, I like to continue with the fun by referring to the passage in the Old Testament that mentions how King David felt the presence of God as a gentle breeze. A cattle prodder like this will sure provide you with a lot of fun. Perhaps you may even become inclined to organize a church.
Why does this cattle prodder work? The answer lies in the crystal. The two parts of the crystal form an excellent structural link. The obvious linkage consists of the breaking surfaces that are very similar. A second linkage may be the subtle structure of the crystal itself: intricacies of the crystal grid that are the same throughout the original crystal. It is identical in the two parts. From the previous lesson, you know that the person who holds the palm of the hand above the center of the cross will draw life energy from the Chi generator where the second half of the crystal serves as a structural link. The near identical structures of the two crystal parts make the transfer from Chi generator to cross possible. Instead of the crystal, you may work with a scribble or any other graphic design that you copy twice. Put one of the copies inside the cross and the other copy into the Welz Chi generator. Then have fun with your friendly neighborhood fundamentalists! If this is not your idea of having fun, feel free to skip this practice!
Equivalent and Near-Identical Structural Link
In the first lesson you have become familiar with the idea of structural links. Structural links connected with the target and structures represented the magical action. We have realized that life energy connects through equivalent or identical structures and that it allows transfer through the same type structure.
In the following we work with the two concepts of identical and equivalent structure, then we practice a few simple experiments. To get a practical "feel" for what we are telling you is more valuable than a thousand words!
It is easy for you to understand the concept of an identical structure. We have identical structures in case #1 where a hair (ideally with follicle) connects with the person, because the genetic code in the cells of the hair is almost identical to the genetic code in all other cells of the organism from which the hair comes. Therefore life energy transfers from the hair to all other cells of the organism. Likewise we have an identical structure in the case of practice #19. If we limited ourselves just to the concept of identical or near identical structures, we would already have a wealth of technologies at our disposal. However, experience teaches us that this idea of structure takes on a much wider meaning. This is quite obvious in the case of the charismatic church. The visualization of a person shows hardly any structural identity with the person itself. It's an appearance that our brain cells give us after a series of abstractions. This appearance results from memories. In some way we can say that our memory allows a structural linkage that involves the dimensions of time. A similar thing happens in case #4, where the names are written down.
It will be good now to go through the practices in lesson 2 to explain the workings of life energy and how the magician can use it. From an understanding of these practices we will then be able to work out new magical technologies.
Practices #1 and #2: The structural transfer may be ignored. Life energy seems to have a capability to stay connected for a while.
Practice #3: Life energy flow follows mental commands. Later we will learn that life energy may take on a shape that you "tell it" to take. In a strong field of life energy you can photograph this shape with any camera such as a Polaroid camera. You may expand the exercise by commanding the energy bridge to form an arch rather than a straight line.
The fact that you can mentally direct life energy is obvious in cases #4 and #6 of lesson #1. This capability is possible because life energy transfers through equivalent structural links. The near identical structure is typically of the same material. The equivalent structure is of other material. Clothing that is used in some magical operations to influence people represents a near identical structure, because it contains skin rubbings of the person. A photo on the other hand is an equivalent structure. There are ways of making very effective equivalent structures that are not as obvious as photos. Radionic rates are a good example. So are specific sigils that you can create to connect with a person or with a specific action.
Practices #5 through 14 are all transfers by way of equivalent structures.
Sometimes magicians use the word "symbolic representation" when talking about equivalent structure. With this they mean something that represents persons, groups, events, or specific magical energies or entities.
An old assumption of magicians is the following: If you have the true name of something (such as a spirit), then you have control over it. As a consequence of this hypothesis many magicians have developed mantras of power, i.e., phonetic expressions, that connect with specific entities of with specific action. Experience has taught magicians how they should call specific energies (entities) to action. A mantra, or "true name," of course, is an equivalent structure.
Equivalent structures may vary depending on the circumstances, the cultural background, the magical system and the specific symbolism or design system used. The most frequent bases of equivalent structures are graphical outlines (sigils), sounds (mantras and, of recent, sound pitches), dance forms, special mixtures of incenses, dolls, astrological chart representations, radionics devices, and symbolism such as Runes and the Tarot. In this previous description of equivalent structures we have recognized another important factor: The matrix of the equivalent structure. This matrix is any structure (such as a set of symbols as in the Tarot) that the magician may arrange to establish a structural link.
Many of these matrices are "artificial" ones. That means that humans established them according to their belief systems. Although such matrices are excellent, they are not an absolute need for magic in general.
The zodiac is a good example for a natural matrix. Its settings (planetary positions) at a specific time determine the characteristics of a human being that is born under these settings. In a more generalized effect, astrological positions establish a field of connections with energies of a higher order. This energy field establishes the trends that influence the action of everything in its realm. We will come back to this later and we will show how we can generate our own astrological trends with relative ease, especially when we use a Welz generator for this purpose.
The connection of equivalent structures with the target or with an energy of a higher order (spirit, entity, etc.) results sometimes in part from the functioning of our brains. This is especially true when we use letters of the alphabet or numbers as elements of such an equivalent structure. Our mind recognizes some object as a general matrix for an equivalent structure (a "universe") and then establishes the specific setting of the matrix that ensures contact with the target.
From a technological point of view, we have available a wide spectrum of equivalent structures that range from pure visualization or imagining (mental images) over the making of sigils, the use of natural structural links such as incenses, oils and herbs, all the way to the near identical structural links.
The radionic device is an excellent example of a system of equivalent structures that are totally arbitrary. But then again some of the symbolism, alphabets, sound systems, etc., are arbitrary bases as well.
It seems that if, with our minds, we decide that something represents the universe - or that we declare something as symbolizing the universe (or the totality of our environment), then we can devise partial systems of it that represent the elements of this universe. For instance if we decide that the radionic box represents the human body, then we can determine a system of settings (the radionics term for setting is rate) that represent the various parts and sub systems of the body.
Equivalent structures are the result of conventions. The capability of our minds to generate psychic linkage may be at the root of the functioning of equivalent structures. On the other hand we can get a good linkage with a near identical structure (such as a hair) and then develop a system of equivalent structures (rates) for the body from which the hair is coming and its specific systems. If we do not have the linkage of the hair, then the setting for the liver may also bring in zodiacal energies that correlate to the liver (Jupiter energies in this case).
Diosctance is the Result of Structural Differences
When we say that distance is a result of structural differences we need to include both, similar and equivalent structures. The more similar the structure, the closer are the objects as far as the transfer of life energy is concerned.
The living being establishes distance by means of its shifting structural linkages. Therefore the living being practices magic at all times.
From the structural concepts that we have established above follows that closeness is not only within the three dimensional space that we see and in which we move. Quite often we are too involved with this habitual concept of space while completely ignoring the "magical closeness" that life energy opens up for us. We may only become painfully aware of the powerful consequences of such "closeness from outside our three dimensional space" at times when we are the victim of a spell that someone has cast from thousands of miles away. Even then we are more inclined to think in terms of the "miraculous" rather than accepting the obvious. This compares to the zoologist who admires the "capability of a butterfly to smell a female that is several miles away and to find his way there." To smell means to pick up traces of chemicals. Directional smelling is even more difficult, especially when there is nothing to smell! A high school kid can calculate the amount of molecules of the female's scent in the air some five miles away to prove that the academic zoologist's statement is absolute nonsense! Why not accept that there is something different from "smell" and "normal sensory perception" out there? Structural linkage that bridges visual space is a very valid concept that explains a lot of things easily. .
A radionics expert once stated that radionics is part of ceremonial magic. He considers the tuner a solidified thought form and the rates representing agreements with the subtle nature spirits.
I can agree with such an animistic approach. In the old times, people thought of lightning being a "god." In fact, they considered practically all natural phenomena, even the planetary energies, as being anthropomorphic gods, i.e., gods that look somewhat like humans. Still in our days most people have a concept of a gaseous mammal above the clouds, usually bearded and of the male sex who "made it all" with "his" hands.

It is okay. for humans to satisfy themselves with an animistic approach. With this approach, they are able to use some techniques of magic and radionics if they the “correct tradition" (which means religious tradition) that tells them how to do what.
We have another, more useful, option. We can begin to analyze magical and radionic procedures in scientific terms. That's exactly what we have begun to do in the previous lessons. Naturally, we will find soon that a structural approach has more potential than the old animistic model could ever offer. Such approach will prove to be more useful in many respects. Above all, it will lead us to an understanding of magic and radionics that can easily rid us from the straitjacket of stale traditions. At the same time it will allow vibrant creativity to expand our magical powers to levels that traditionalists are incapable of conceiving.
Practice #19: A cattle prodder
With the following experiment, I am making a point or two. Some people felt upset about me ridiculing certain practices. I suggest to those folks to convince their priests (or whomever) not to ridicule all that has value for me. Then we may talk again. Above all, no one who does not want to do so is required to perform the following experiment!
First, let's fantasize ourselves into an imaginary journey: Imagine yourself traveling to a tribal society somewhere in New Guinea. It needs to be a tribal society that has never heard about civilization as we know it. Among your equipment, you have a cattle prodder that causes electric shocks. Since you know some of the religious beliefs of that society you make some image at the right time (the sacred time of the year) and in a traditional shape. Then you connect this image with your cattle prodder. Chances are that with such a contraption you can convince these people of your divine nature or of your spiritual connection with their sky of gods. It all works because of several reasons: First of all, those good folks have no idea of electricity, but they certainly can feel the shocks. They may think that the shock they get is the power of their gods. Another important facet of your experience is that you adjusted to the existing belief structure. If you did not do it, they would. That could be quite risky since electric shocks are somewhat painful and the connection with a demonic force is always an easy-to-do assumption.
As far as the feeling of life energy is concerned, most of America and Europe compare well to the jungles of New Guinea. Few people know that life force exists. Still less know that they can feel life force. The majority of people deny the very existence of life energy. When selling my Orgone generators I let people feel the energy. This made me realize that about 90% of the people feel life force whether they believe in it or not.
All of this naturally is a fertile ground four our cattle prodder experiment. All you need to do is adjust somewhat to the existing mainstream religion.
I did the experiment in the following way. In a Christian bookstore, I bought a cross that measured about 6 inches in length (the funny thing was that it was made in Communist China. When it comes to money some of these commercially adept folks obviously live deal with the devil!). I drilled a 1/4 inch hole from the top to the center. Then I took a small jewelry type crystal and broke it in two. One half of it I inserted into the hole. I stuffed some paper on top of it to hold it in place. Then I plugged the hole with wood filler the same color as the cross. The other half of the crystal I put on the well of an operating Chi Generator. Now the cattle prodder was in operation and ready for use.
What I did next is having my Christian acquaintances feel it. I made a few commentaries about the power of their God coming from the cross.
Most people feel the life energy when they hold the palm of their hands about one inch above the center of the cross. When they feel this energy under the appropriate circumstances, they are quite logically induced to think that it truly is the power of their God that emanates from the cross. When they feel a slight breeze rather than warmth, I like to continue with the fun by referring to the passage in the Old Testament that mentions how King David felt the presence of God as a gentle breeze. A cattle prodder like this will sure provide you with a lot of fun. Perhaps you may even become inclined to organize a church.
Why does this cattle prodder work? The answer lies in the crystal. The two parts of the crystal form an excellent structural link. The obvious linkage consists of the breaking surfaces that are very similar. A second linkage may be the subtle structure of the crystal itself: intricacies of the crystal grid that are the same throughout the original crystal. It is identical in the two parts. From the previous lesson, you know that the person who holds the palm of the hand above the center of the cross will draw life energy from the Chi generator where the second half of the crystal serves as a structural link. The near identical structures of the two crystal parts make the transfer from Chi generator to cross possible. Instead of the crystal, you may work with a scribble or any other graphic design that you copy twice. Put one of the copies inside the cross and the other copy into the Welz Chi generator. Then have fun with your friendly neighborhood fundamentalists! If this is not your idea of having fun, feel free to skip this practice!
Equivalent and Near-Identical Structural Link
In the first lesson you have become familiar with the idea of structural links. Structural links connected with the target and structures represented the magical action. We have realized that life energy connects through equivalent or identical structures and that it allows transfer through the same type structure.
In the following we work with the two concepts of identical and equivalent structure, then we practice a few simple experiments. To get a practical "feel" for what we are telling you is more valuable than a thousand words!
It is easy for you to understand the concept of an identical structure. We have identical structures in case #1 where a hair (ideally with follicle) connects with the person, because the genetic code in the cells of the hair is almost identical to the genetic code in all other cells of the organism from which the hair comes. Therefore life energy transfers from the hair to all other cells of the organism. Likewise we have an identical structure in the case of practice #19. If we limited ourselves just to the concept of identical or near identical structures, we would already have a wealth of technologies at our disposal. However, experience teaches us that this idea of structure takes on a much wider meaning. This is quite obvious in the case of the charismatic church. The visualization of a person shows hardly any structural identity with the person itself. It's an appearance that our brain cells give us after a series of abstractions. This appearance results from memories. In some way we can say that our memory allows a structural linkage that involves the dimensions of time. A similar thing happens in case #4, where the names are written down.
It will be good now to go through the practices in lesson 2 to explain the workings of life energy and how the magician can use it. From an understanding of these practices we will then be able to work out new magical technologies.
Practices #1 and #2: The structural transfer may be ignored. Life energy seems to have a capability to stay connected for a while.
Practice #3: Life energy flow follows mental commands. Later we will learn that life energy may take on a shape that you "tell it" to take. In a strong field of life energy you can photograph this shape with any camera such as a Polaroid camera. You may expand the exercise by commanding the energy bridge to form an arch rather than a straight line.
The fact that you can mentally direct life energy is obvious in cases #4 and #6 of lesson #1. This capability is possible because life energy transfers through equivalent structural links. The near identical structure is typically of the same material. The equivalent structure is of other material. Clothing that is used in some magical operations to influence people represents a near identical structure, because it contains skin rubbings of the person. A photo on the other hand is an equivalent structure. There are ways of making very effective equivalent structures that are not as obvious as photos. Radionic rates are a good example. So are specific sigils that you can create to connect with a person or with a specific action.
Practices #5 through 14 are all transfers by way of equivalent structures.
Sometimes magicians use the word "symbolic representation" when talking about equivalent structure. With this they mean something that represents persons, groups, events, or specific magical energies or entities.
An old assumption of magicians is the following: If you have the true name of something (such as a spirit), then you have control over it. As a consequence of this hypothesis many magicians have developed mantras of power, i.e., phonetic expressions, that connect with specific entities of with specific action. Experience has taught magicians how they should call specific energies (entities) to action. A mantra, or "true name," of course, is an equivalent structure.
Equivalent structures may vary depending on the circumstances, the cultural background, the magical system and the specific symbolism or design system used. The most frequent bases of equivalent structures are graphical outlines (sigils), sounds (mantras and, of recent, sound pitches), dance forms, special mixtures of incenses, dolls, astrological chart representations, radionics devices, and symbolism such as Runes and the Tarot. In this previous description of equivalent structures we have recognized another important factor: The matrix of the equivalent structure. This matrix is any structure (such as a set of symbols as in the Tarot) that the magician may arrange to establish a structural link.
Many of these matrices are "artificial" ones. That means that humans established them according to their belief systems. Although such matrices are excellent, they are not an absolute need for magic in general.
The zodiac is a good example for a natural matrix. Its settings (planetary positions) at a specific time determine the characteristics of a human being that is born under these settings. In a more generalized effect, astrological positions establish a field of connections with energies of a higher order. This energy field establishes the trends that influence the action of everything in its realm. We will come back to this later and we will show how we can generate our own astrological trends with relative ease, especially when we use a Welz generator for this purpose.
The connection of equivalent structures with the target or with an energy of a higher order (spirit, entity, etc.) results sometimes in part from the functioning of our brains. This is especially true when we use letters of the alphabet or numbers as elements of such an equivalent structure. Our mind recognizes some object as a general matrix for an equivalent structure (a "universe") and then establishes the specific setting of the matrix that ensures contact with the target.
From a technological point of view, we have available a wide spectrum of equivalent structures that range from pure visualization or imagining (mental images) over the making of sigils, the use of natural structural links such as incenses, oils and herbs, all the way to the near identical structural links.
The radionic device is an excellent example of a system of equivalent structures that are totally arbitrary. But then again some of the symbolism, alphabets, sound systems, etc., are arbitrary bases as well.
It seems that if, with our minds, we decide that something represents the universe - or that we declare something as symbolizing the universe (or the totality of our environment), then we can devise partial systems of it that represent the elements of this universe. For instance if we decide that the radionic box represents the human body, then we can determine a system of settings (the radionics term for setting is rate) that represent the various parts and sub systems of the body.
Equivalent structures are the result of conventions. The capability of our minds to generate psychic linkage may be at the root of the functioning of equivalent structures. On the other hand we can get a good linkage with a near identical structure (such as a hair) and then develop a system of equivalent structures (rates) for the body from which the hair is coming and its specific systems. If we do not have the linkage of the hair, then the setting for the liver may also bring in zodiacal energies that correlate to the liver (Jupiter energies in this case).
Diosctance is the Result of Structural Differences
When we say that distance is a result of structural differences we need to include both, similar and equivalent structures. The more similar the structure, the closer are the objects as far as the transfer of life energy is concerned.
The living being establishes distance by means of its shifting structural linkages. Therefore the living being practices magic at all times.
From the structural concepts that we have established above follows that closeness is not only within the three dimensional space that we see and in which we move. Quite often we are too involved with this habitual concept of space while completely ignoring the "magical closeness" that life energy opens up for us. We may only become painfully aware of the powerful consequences of such "closeness from outside our three dimensional space" at times when we are the victim of a spell that someone has cast from thousands of miles away. Even then we are more inclined to think in terms of the "miraculous" rather than accepting the obvious. This compares to the zoologist who admires the "capability of a butterfly to smell a female that is several miles away and to find his way there." To smell means to pick up traces of chemicals. Directional smelling is even more difficult, especially when there is nothing to smell! A high school kid can calculate the amount of molecules of the female's scent in the air some five miles away to prove that the academic zoologist's statement is absolute nonsense! Why not accept that there is something different from "smell" and "normal sensory perception" out there? Structural linkage that bridges visual space is a very valid concept that explains a lot of things easily. .

Mastering Fire and Water
Fire and Water
In this lesson you are going to align the two basic elements that appear as opposites: fire and water. The interaction of fire and water is at the root of creation eternal of things that become manifest and conscious.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The workplace around yourself
Before you are going ahead to align fire and water it will be good to expand your outer realm so that it includes utensils that connect with both elements, fire and water. Before that you are going to work with the water element by itself.
As in the previous lesson, you have a circle around yourself. The table is outside your circle. Lay out a triangle on the table. You may surround this triangle by a circle.
Put a cup with water inside the triangle. You may put the cup on an elemental design that represents water: the pentagon. As soon as you begin with your operation this set up is going to connect with the realms of the water element.
To boost this process you visualize yourself drawing energy from the water element and to push it into the triangle. Imagine this energy being blue. Proceed to do so until you feel good about what you have achieved.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The workspace within
Your next step is to establish an inner realm that connects with the water element. Again you imagine being in a space of your choosing. In front of yourself you see a blue pentagon that is formed with water. This pentagon is your gate into the realms of the water element. Imagine this pentagon opening up and you going through it to explore the realms of the water element. As you are looking around yourself within this realm you will notice changes in your surroundings that correspond to the water element. Move yourself through this realm and explore whatever you see there. Open up your awareness to whatever will come to you, be it visions, sound impressions, feelings, and thoughts. At a later time you may recall your experiences in the water element and write them down for your record. If you see spirits of the water element, interact with them. They may give you valuable information concerning your work with the water element.
The purpose of this experience, of course, is that you become familiar with the energies that are in the realm of the water element and to understand the overall importance of this realm. With practice you can have this realm present for your magical work whenever you desire so.
Leave the realm of the water element whenever you feel an urge to do so. While you are in this inner realm be aware that this realm connects with your outer realm and with the cosmic realm of the water element.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being One with your Will and with Your Emotions
After you have mastered both realms, the realm of the fire element and the realm of the water element, you can proceed to practice the second step toward consciousness of Oneness.
For this practice, imagine yourself in the center of a circle, or sphere, that surrounds you. In front of yourself you see a flaming red triangle. You notice that this triangle is an ever present gate to the fire element. In it you see many forms of fire, perhaps also fire spirits and any other things that connect with the fire element.
Now you mentally repeat to yourself six times:
I am all will.
You may imagine the words written in front of you in flaming letters. You may feel the heat of the written words. You may imagine hearing the sounds of fire. The more sensory imagination you include the better the results will be. Each time you say "I am all will" you focus on your inner realm of fire. Next you say once:
I am One.
Repeat this sequence at least three times.
Next you see a blue watery pentagon to your left side. You know that this pentagon is your ever present gate to the realm of the water element. In it you notice water in many of its appearances, one within the other like three dimensional transparencies. You may also notice Undines, or spirits of the water element. This time you will not pay them any particular attention.
Next you repeat mentally to yourself six times:
I am all emotions
You may imagine these words written in front of you in blue watery letters. You may feel the coolness and humidity of water. You may imagine hearing the many sounds of water. The more sensory imagination you include the better the results will be. Each time you say "I am all emotions" you focus on your inner realm of water. Next say once:
I am One.
Repeat this sequence at least three times. You may interrupt here or you may proceed as follows:
Repeat six times:
Will and emotions are aligned and One
Repeat one time:
I am One
Again you repeat this sequence at least three times. Keep up the connection with the realms of the elements. You will find your individual way of doing this.
It is O.K. to repeat more often than just three times for each sequence. You may also practice each section (fire and water) individually.
In this lesson you are going to align the two basic elements that appear as opposites: fire and water. The interaction of fire and water is at the root of creation eternal of things that become manifest and conscious.

More on four elements and its archetype
The Divine name and the process of manifestation
The Divine name as expressed in the elementary polygons is a perfect expression of the world as we experience it. Consequently, identifying ourselves with this Divine principle means to gain control over the energies of a higher order that desire manifestation.
The triangle relates to the spark that sets things in motion. Its correlate within ourselves is our will. In the cosmos it is the world of emanation. It is the power to say the "there is" ("let there be").
We find its opposite in the water element, as expressed in the pentagon. The five is the second figurative prime number. The qualities of water are cold and humid, as opposed to the hot and dry of fire. It correlates to our emotions. In the cosmos it is the world of formation. Water represents life while fire represents light. Water and fire are considered to be the basic elements while the other two elements are regarded to be interactions between the two primary elements. Water is desire to manifest that goes with all life. It is desire and formation. Fire is will to create.
The air element is interaction between fire and water. It creates the matrices that are necessary for manifestation. It structures, organizes, and adjusts. Anything that you intend to create needs a mental form that determines its relations within the planes of existence. It is dual, relating to both fire and water and allowing the interaction of these two primary elements in the process of manifestation. The square is a geometric shape that lies between the triangle and the pentagon. The four is no prime number. It is 2 x 2, the double of a prime number or a prime number multiplied by itself. It expresses the dual nature of our thinking, but also the organizing of all there is perceived into the four elements, again 2 x 2. The four represents the structural qualities of the mental plane that we perceive. You can see our mind as a sensory organ that perceives forms in the mental plane. It is a sensory organ that orders the many other perceptions that we receive and that continuously abstracts from the primary impressions and from primary abstractions on the objective, unspeakable, levels so that we can function in our environment.
The earth element finally is manifestation that springs from the interaction of fire with water. This is beautifully expressed in the second geometric shape with five points in a circle, the pentagram. This shape is a pentagram that is surrounded by five triangles. It is coter the world of consciousness (the material plane) from the world of desire (the astral plane) and to manifest there, usually on the etheric level. The evocative magician uses a triangle in which the astral being can manifest. The astral being that is symbolized by the pentagon gains the quality of the triangle so that it can become manifest in consciousness. In the process of evocation the pentagon transforms into the pentagram.
The earth element as symbolized in the pentagram then obviously is the synthesis of the other elements, or planes. Things have to be conscious to exist. The pentagram contains the other elements. All elements are traced within the circle that represents the universe as a whole, conscious and non conscious. Keep these relationships in mind when you proceed to practice oneness with the Divine.

Learn How To Direct Life Force
You had your first experience with directing life energy when you practiced seeing it with the wand. For some the following practices you will need a partner. To be more effective you need also learn a preliminary practice that employs your capability to imagine. Anything that you image is structure and life energy follows structural principles easier than space-time distances. This characteristic of life force opens up truly fantastic potentials for the person who learns to use it.
The whole science of magic is a result of this characteristic of life energy! Our mind creates structures in continuous sequence! This is the reason for the fact that magic is as old as mankind. Earliest man already realized that events sometimes followed visualization.

Learn How To Feel Life Energy
Practice #4: Take the wand and point it to sensitive parts of your body.
1. Feel one end of the wand with the palm of any one of your hands. To feel the life energy, hold the palm about one inch from the end of the wand.
2. Point the wand to the wrist of the hand, again one inch away.
3. Hold your fingers in front of the wand, one by one.
4. Point the wand toward the area of the forehead that is in the center between the eyes, one inch away.
5. Do the same thing with any other area of your body.
The feeling that you get is your individual experience. Some persons feel a tingling. Others feel a slight cool breeze. Most persons feel a gentle warmth. What you feel depends very much on what group of nerve endings respond first.
The person who is kinetically oriented responds with a feeling of a tingling or breeze while the visually oriented person feels warmth. What happens in this experiment is the following:
Your life energy field is stronger than the energy field of the wand. Therefore you draw life energy from the wand. When this life energy enters your body it stimulates the tactile nerve endings in your skin. You experience this stimulation of nerve endings as a feeling of warmth, a tingling, or a breeze. You have this feeling even though there is no wind or high temperature between the wand and your body.

Learn How To See Life Force
Although this is not absolutely necessary for your beginning of magical practice, it is good if you learn to see life energy.
Practice #1: Hold both hands in front of you, about one foot from your eyes. Do so with a neutral background such as a wall. Have the fingers of both hands touch each other. Now very slowly pull the hands apart and see the "strings" that are still connecting the fingers that separate from each other. For some people it may take a bit of training, but it's not difficult.
Practice #2: Hold one end of the wand in one hand and touch the other end of the wand with the index finger of your other hand. Slowly pull the index finger and wand apart from each other and observe the "luminating" bridge, or string. If you have seen the string, you know why I call it "luminating."
Practice #3: Same as before, but pull apart rather rapidly, up to four inches. Chances are that you see a short emanation from both, the finger and the wand. Now you give the mental command for the two emanations to join into a luminating string. This is your first experience to direct life energy with your mind.

Practice of Astral Exploration
A traditional magical law says that repeated use of a magical utensil will tie specific energies to it. These energies will then be available whenever the utensil is part of your magical set up. With the utensil, therefore, there is no longer a need to actively and consciously draw the energies that the utensil represents. The utensil becomes a focal point for the energies that it represents. Its presence alone will ensure the drawing of the energies from the realms that the utensil represents. In other words, the utensil becomes a structural link with the realm that it represents. This means that your conscious and active mind is free for other things that are not routine whenever you use a utensil. This is the reason why magicians use many utensils in their ceremonies.
For the same reason it is to your advantage to establish an outer workspace when you practice with energies of a higher order such as the elements. The outer workspace as a whole will take on the aspect of being a complex utensil. It is a focal point for the energies that you are going to draw in your work.
In your work with the elements you arrange the outer workspace with the specific symbols that connect with the elements. The type arrangement that you choose will determine how easy it will be for you to draw the specific elementary energy
Protective Measures
Protective measures are good for any kind of magical work that evokes energies of a higher order. Explorations of the elemental realms are no exception. The main reason for protective measures in elementary work is that these energies may become too strong for you to handle when you are unprotected. With the protective measures you prevent the energies that you call from taking over after you have triggered them.
One of the most common practices of protection is the tracing of a circle around oneself. Of course it is not the circle in itself that protects but the intent that you project into this circle. Therefore, just tracing a circle will do nothing. You need to trace the circle and charge it with the idea of protection. You may set up such a circle by laying out a rope in circular fashion around yourself. Take a rope between 20 and 30 ft length. This gives you a circle between 6 and 10 ft diameter. After you have put the circular rope on the floor or ground, you imagine a sphere around yourself with the circle marking the position of this sphere. Project life energy into this sphere together with the visualization of the protective qualities that this circle has. You find more details about protective practices in my course "magic of the future" which is the first scientific approach to magic ever.
At a later date, when you will be grounded in your experience of Oneness, the outer circle will be unnecessary, because your Oneness with the Divine makes you the ruler of the energies of a higher order. At that point you will be fully protected by reason of your authority.
The Altar
For your work in this lesson, i.e., to explore the realm of the fire element, it will be good that you use symbolic representations of the fire element. You put these utensils onto your table, or altar, which you place outside your protective circle.
First you draw on the table a truing. This triangle confines the space where helpful fire elementals may materialize. Charge the triangle with the idea of retaining the elemental energies that may manifest in it. Then put objects into this triangle that represent the energies with which you are going to connect, in our case energies from the realms of the fire element. The simplest thing that symbolizes fire is a burning candle. You may also add a small triangle as the geometric shape that symbolizes the fire element and a wand. The wand represents your will. As you know your will is the manifestation of the fire element within yourself. Your will connects with the causal plane, which too is a representation of the fire element. If you are familiar with the Judeo-Christian Cabalah you may add the Hebrew letter YOD.
You keep in your mind the awareness that this your outer realm will draw energies from the cosmic realms of the fire element as soon as you light the candle. When you light the candle you may speak out something to the effect of drawing energies from the realms of the fire element such as "I am lighting this candle. Its flame will bring the energies of fire into this space." A very powerful method is to establish a custom tailored mantra that will instantly draw fire energies into your realm. This mantra will be an individual one for you. You can establish this mantra with a mantra generator, a new device that I have invented. You may purchase the mantra generator from HSCTI, P.O. Box 666033, Marietta, GA 30066.
The next thing you do is building up power in your outer realm. See yourself drawing fire energy from the universe and projecting it into the triangle. Do this practice as follows: Have your left arm stretched out away from the triangle, palm up. The right arm points toward the triangle. Breathe slowly and consciously. Knowledge of breathing techniques such as yoga is an advantage. While you inhale, visualize fire energy from the universe enter your body through the palm of your right hand. While you exhale, you project this energy into the triangle. You may give this energy a red color. Project more and more red into the triangle as you keep breathing. Proceed until you feel good about the amount of fire energy that you have accumulated in the triangle. You know that an accumulation of fire energy in the triangle will enhance your experience of the fire element and the realms of the will.
The Workspace Within Yourself
Now that you have established the outer realm, you proceed to establish a space within yourself where you can work with the elements and experience their astral realms. This is your inner realm of the elements. You will gradually expand this inner realm to be your inner realm of Oneness.
With your imagination you set up an inner realm that has if for your purposes. You need to feel good in this inner workspace. First you give this realm an outer form. You may imagine yourself being in a clearing in the woods, a beach, a temple, a mountain pear, a cave, of anything else that you like. You may change the looks of your inner realm at any time.
Next you imagine your realm being surrounded by a protective sphere, or bubble. This bubble will stay around you wherever you move in your inner realm.
Astral Travel
What you do next is to explore the various realms within. These realms connect with the astral planes. Your sphere of protection will be very useful when you start travelling in this realm.
In this inner workspace you are aware that you are the ruler of your energetic universe. You know that from this workspace you can reach the astral dimension of any energetic form, or realm, of the universe. Once you have estaer comes to you. This may be sounds, touch, visions, thoughts, etc. Your memory is stronger and this will help you recall most of these experiences so that you can write them down after you will have removed yourself from this realm. Some students like to interact with fire elementals, or Salamanders. This type interaction may take the form of a conversation, of a telepathic communication, or anything else.
The main purpose of this experience of astrally travelling through the elemental realm of fire is to get a good understanding of it. Once you have extensively explored that realm, you may connect with it whenever you want to do so. This experience takes the function of being like a utensil. However, this utensil does not have a material object as its focal point like other magical utensils. It is anchored within the realm of your inner workspace. Your access to the fire is a flaming triangle or whatever other shape you like to use. Gradually you will establish many such anchors, or gates, within your inner workspace. In this lesson you will learn to establish gates for the four elemental realms. If you study other forms of magic, you may open up realms to the various energetic hierarchies: the Runes, the planetary spheres, the realm of various groups of entities, mythological realms such as Christian saints, Voodoo deities, Egyptian gods, Tibetan deities, etc.
You may leave this realm whenever you feel a need or whenever you want to do so. For the first time, your astral travel in the realm of fire (or any other element) should not exceed 15 minutes. Gradually you may extend the time of your exploration to one hour. You need to know that it is not important how long you stay in a specific elemental realm, but it is the intensity of experience that counts.
While you explore your inner realm astrally, you do this with the awareness that it is connected with your outer realm and that both are connected with the cosmic realm of the element.
Practice: Being one with the will
After you have explored the realm of fire you proceed with the practice that follows. In this practice you need not establish your outer realm. If you do decide to make an outer realm, do it in a simple manner: Set a candle and the elemental triangle on your altar.
Next you establish your inner realm. You imagine yourself being there inside a circle (bubble) that surrounds you. This is your circle of protection. In front of yourself you see a flaming triangle that is the gateway to the elemental realm of the fire. The triangle also represents the fire element and your will. Inside the triangle you see fire in its many forms, like transparencies one within the other. You may see some of the fire spirits, or salamanders. You know that fire connects with your will and with the world of emanation. You are aware of your strength and that you are the dominating force of the energies of fire that are in your universe.
Now you repeat to yourself for six times:
I am all will.
Each time that you repeat, you focus on the fire in your inner realm.
Next you say one time:
I am one.
Again then you repeat for six times "I am all will," then once "I am one." Keep repeating for five to ten minutes. Think the words slowly and attentively.
End the exercise with a brief meditation. In this meditation wait for things to manifest in your experience: feelings, visions, etc.
For the same reason it is to your advantage to establish an outer workspace when you practice with energies of a higher order such as the elements. The outer workspace as a whole will take on the aspect of being a complex utensil. It is a focal point for the energies that you are going to draw in your work.

The Four Elements
It's in us and everything, so how do we control and balance it?
The first step in working with a psychology of the four elements
involves creating elemental sensations within ourselves through
force of imagination. The sensation relating to each element has to
be fully felt. Once we can generate a particular sensation in
ourselves by will, we can then tie that sensation into the basic
qualities of the element. This approach illuminates many aspects of
the astral body which modern psychology fails to consider.
In regard to each of four elements, I refer you to my separate
essays on finding the sylph, gnome, salamander, and undine in
yourself. Though these articles derive directly from working with
elemental beings, I present the results as meditations which require
that you venture no further than the domain of your own
imagination.
Also see my different dialogues with the elemental beings. For all
their metaphysical explorations, these are not platonic dialogues.
They take place in a state of trance in which I encounter and wrestle
with the inner core essence of these marvelous spirits of nature. Yet
though I present these stories as journeys into invisible and magical
realms, the elemental beings embody treasures of spirit and feeling
which are part of our own nature.
Fire
We practice seeing and feeling fire. We evoke the sensation of
intense heat within ourselves. The basic procedure is to imagine
that our bodies are hollow inside and so able to accumulate any
energy we wish. When we are done, we imagine that the energy
dissolves again into the universe. Let us talk about the difficulties
with this concentration exercise.
Some individuals will be hesitant to work directly with fire. This
may be because fire is dangerous. It can burn you.
It may also be that they are uneasy with the idea of developing
their will and power. They may feel it is hard enough keeping one's
desires and impulses in check. If you develop your power, you
immediately run the risk of abusing that power. Passions out of
control may end up controlling you and causing all sorts of harm to
yourself and others. These concerns are very important and
individuals should listen to their own consciences on these matters.
You will recall from Greek mythology that Zeus chained the titan
Prometheus to a mountain crag and had hawks tear out his liver.
Zeus was mad at Prometheus for giving fire to the human race.
Each day the titan's liver would regenerate only to be torn out again.
The liver can be seen as representing natural growth and spiritual
consciousness. In bestowing the gift of fire to humanity,
Prometheus was giving power without the spiritual ability to know
how to use it wisely.
One way to work with the element of fire is to review fire in all
the ways it exists in nature, in society, and within ourselves. Life
was able to appear on our planet because of the heat and light of the
sun. But it took billions of years for this to occur and the earth had
to have a stable orbit and the right distance from the sun.
There are many forms of fire which exist in nature. The volcano
and forest fire are impersonal forces and extremely dangerous to
life. And yet the fire in the earth moves continents, uplifts
mountains, creates islands, and provides a variety of ecological
habitats. As civilization has developed, we have learned to use the
wood, coal, coke, oil, and gas fires turning their heat to productive
ends. Consider the history of technology and both the positive and
negative purposes to which fire has been dedicated. Fire itself, like
a knife, can be used for healthy or for destructive ends.
Consider also the importance of warmth and heat to the human
body. For the past thirty thousand years, we have managed to
survive ice ages, winters, and freezing environments. We have
developed clothing, insulation, and various heating systems to keep
us warm. We have used fire to cook and produce many new kinds
of food.
The point is that if you imagine your body filled with fiery flames
and heat you encounter a racial memory of all that fire means.
When you are evoking fire within yourself through the force of your
imagination, you need to make peace with both its productive and its
destructive aspects. You have to be comfortable with your ability to
use its power in natural ways which fulfil spiritual purposes.
On the other hand, try as they may some individuals will find it
hard to form a sensation of heat through concentration. They may
visualize a fire in front of them. They can just as easily see a fire
inside of their bodies. But nothing happens. There is no sensation
of heat which accompanies this imagery.
If, for example, the individual repeatedly places his hands near a
fire, he is still unable to get his nervous system to reproduce the
sensation of heat through concentration. The problem here is that
the individual's concentration on the mental plane is unable to
produce astral sensations. The astral body adds feelings of life and
immediacy to the imagery. When your concentration is effective on
the astral plane, as in a dream, you feel you are really there amid
whatever your visualize.
There are any number of ways of resolving this difficulty.
Basically, the idea is to become the fire. Make the fire part of
yourself. Treat fire as an extension of your own aura. Nourish it.
Care for it. Offer it welcome. Invite fire into yourself so it finds a
home and a place where it can grow strong.
For example, take some time to imagine you are collecting some
dry leaves and wood so that you can start an open fire out of doors.
Give your full attention to the match as it ignites and then starts the
dry leaves and wood burning. Assist the fire by placing small twigs
into the flames so that it can take hold. Then place a pan of water
over the fire with the intent you are going to bring the water to a
boil.
Assume the role of the fire like a cheerleader who encourages her
team to succeed. Become the heat which starts small bubbles and
then larger ones to appear in the water until the water finally boils.
Then imagine this entire visualization has taken place within your
own body. If in some way you can place emotion into your activity,
then it is easy to full the sensations which occur on the astral plane.
The heat in the fire then moves from a mental picture to an actual
sensation which is intense enough to feel real.
As I have pointed out elsewhere, there are Tibetan yogis who
visualize fire and manage to increase their body temperature by
seventeen degrees. This is no longer just a perceived sensation.
Scientists have measured it with a thermometer.
The next step is to imagine and believe quite clearly that the
presence of this element within yourself is the same as embodying
will. In psychological terms, fire radiates urgency, power, and light.
It is full of conviction and it dissolves fear. Because of its warmth
and dynamic presence, it gathers others to itself. It offers leadership,
courage, and a zest for living life.
Consider the affirmation: "I am a strong and assertive individual.
I present myself in a clear and convincing way to other people." It
is possible to form a picture in your mind that you indeed embody
these qualities. But others may still see you as a whimp. They may
treat you like you are helpless and ineffective.
The reason for this is that you have failed to create an astral
component for this thought form. Your aura does not radiate any
power or charisma. The task is to combine the mental affirmation
with an astral sensation which radiates fiery power. Others will then
immediately feel the warmth of your aura and a source of power
within you which can take charge of any situation.
Again, there is the other extreme. Some individuals will find it
easy to produce in themselves the hot, burning sensation of a fire.
Some individuals with ease can imagine the entire world as one vast
sea of flames and feel that heat extending around them for miles.
They can do this because they have a natural ability or else they
have a vivid astral imagination.
But there may be a downside to this. If they expand the fire
element in their auras, they may lack the ethics, character, and
commitment to use this force wisely. Sometimes at a red light, an
individual in one car with casually glance at someone in another car.
The second person may have an astral body full of fire which is
ready to ignite. The glance is like striking a match. The encounter
results in violence.
In this case, the feeling of power with its urgent need to act and to
dominate the situation produces negative results. The fire has not
been channeled through an alert and clear mind. Blind emotion has
taken control.
Consequently, when the fiery element in the astral body is easily
stimulated, the individual has to spend more time working on the
mental plane. The purposes for which will and power are to be
used must be carefully reviewed. The individual has to identity and
commit himself to core values which are persuasive enough to hold
the negative aspects of fire in check.
Air
As with fire, you imagine your body is a hollow space and that only
the air element exists within you. You might imagine yourself to be
like a helium balloon so you feel weightless. You feel yourself float
up into the sky. The sensation of weightlessness and floating is
basic.
Then you extend your imagination further. You imagine the
winds are part of your body. The vacuum into which air flows is
like your lungs exerting a pull as you inhale. Actually, there is a
rhythmic flow in the winds and the seasons which is like breathing.
Like a sylph, you probe and search for the harmony underlying air
movements and weather patterns.
And finally you become the winds. If you open your mind and
meditate, you become the trade winds, the north wind, the
hurricane, the thunderstorm, and the tiny gust that twirls the leaves
in your garden. In meditation, there is no light or energy the mind
can not find and reproduce to some extent within itself. Becoming
familiar with the sky is just a matter of practice and taking time.
The air element can also be overdeveloped within an individual.
If you make astral contact with the air element or communicate with
sylphs, there is a tendency for the other elements in yourself to be
shoved aside. This may lead you to a part of yourself which is wild
and restless. It is impersonal, distant, and aloof. It is not at all
concerned with the worries and responsibilities of human beings. It
knows itself to be free and so it no longer cares about the demands
of society, personality, or human feeling.
An individual with this passive aspect of the air element may be
alert, detached, and balanced within himself. But he can also be
insensitive to the extent of becoming amoral. This is not new
information. Psychology talks about psychopaths and authors write
about individuals who have lost their connections to others.
However, the phenomenon I am describing derives from an astral
enchantment. Part of the individual's astral body is no longer
focused on human existence. The individual perceives the way a
sylph perceives or as the fairies of lore who enchant human beings
to come away with them to the inner planes. As William Butler
Yeats describes it:
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
Again, psychologists such as Carl Jung have written about a circle of
enchantment which holds human beings in enthrallment. The
individual is haunted and possessed by what is unfilled in the past,
by the unmet needs of childhood and family. He does not see the
actual situations he enters and other human beings as they are but
only a distorted reflection, an illusion seen from afar. Giving and
receiving, bonding, and intimacy are twisted and bent because the
heart is incomplete.
But the enchantment of air is slightly different. The individual has
an over abundance of the air element which lacks positive
expression. There is nothing a matter with having a sylph's
heightened awareness. The Dalai Lama's weather controller
possesses this as did ancient druids.
The sylph's sensitivity can take the form of a detachment which
blends freedom with a delight in pure perception. It is a thrilling
experience as are hang gliding and parasailing. It is easy when you
feel this relaxed and free to say to yourself, "I am not a human
being. The life within me is altogether different that from what
others feel and see." When we are at play or entertained, we may
temporarily feel the same thing. We give ourselves permission to
forget about the rest of life for the duration.
But this suspending of daily demands, besides being a way to
recharge ourselves, has a productive side. An altered state of
perception enables us to see the world in new ways. The challenge is
to share this with others.
The poet does this. He perceive the delicate fragility and the
hidden beauty shining within each moment. When he writes or
speaks, he is sufficiently distant that he can savor pure feelings. But
he knows these feelings can only be expressed, found and met,
within the details and specific experiences of our lives. Each poem
is a steppingstone leading across the stream separating humanity
from the realms of fairy and the astral plane.
The artist does this. He says, "Behold my art. It is a creation of
my imagination. Its images are a mirror capturing the light I see
reflected in life." And musicians do this when the music is just
right. They are no longer aware of themselves. The notes carry
them along. The song takes on its own life and they are within both
the human plane and another domain.
Too much airy substance in the soul tempts us all to let go and
forget our ties to others. Legend tells us of a race which could not
longer compete with human beings and so retreated from our world
to become a race of fairies. But even to these we might now say,
"Return again and dwell among us. Share with us the things you
see and know that we too might behold the beauty of the world
around us." The remedy is not to retreat into detachment and a
realm of inner peace but to create new ways of sharing heart to
heart.
And finally there is the basic problem of developing astral
sensitivity. Many individuals see no further than the activities of
their daily lives. The consequence is that their emotional life is
limited in scope. In fact, most religions guide their practitioners into
a few sets of sacred experiences which are charged with astral
energy. Conversion, devotion, rapture, and commitment are
controlled and channeled in acceptable ways. Other profound
emotional experiences are labeled taboo and placed off limits or else
are ignored and considered to be irrelevant.
But if you look at a cloud it is constantly changing. If you focus
on a feeling within you and give it enough space to move, it will
continuously transform. Feelings are like the waters of the earth.
They run in underground streams. They are in the lakes, the seas,
the clouds, the rivers, the rain, and the ice caps.
A sylph is aware of every aspect of a changing cloud and yet the
sylph remains detached. To work with the air element is to have
both inner balance and a sensitivity to every nuance and aspect of
feelings. Developing this sensitivity is something which psychology
shares in common with magick. Elsewhere I write about the method
of focusing which bridges the gap between transpersonal psychology
and magical practice.
Water
To develop the sensation of water which is cold and wet, imagine
you are swimming and diving in a stream, river, lake, or ocean. It is
possible to extend your meditations along these lines until the
sensations of water become quite strong. At some point along the
way, imagine yourself becoming the water surrounding your body.
Feel the swimmer and the diver moving through your space. And
again feel the coldness of water within your body as if your body is
hollow inside.
In my various stories about my encounters with the undines, I go
into detailed descriptions about their specific astral natures. The
four I describe are all loving, receptive, sensitive, empathic, healing,
and nurturing. Also, they each have a slightly different way they
communicate the bliss and ecstasy within the water element. These
undines are very enchanting and possess many magical secrets
relating to the water element.
From my experience, undines extend their auras out into the
watery domains surrounding them. If they wish to create an
atmosphere like a wondrous festival full of dancing and song, the
water is magnetized to express their feeling. If they wish to
communicate a profound state of oneness and love, again, the water
element becomes a vehicle which carries and amplifies their
intentions.
Our task in exploring the psychology of water is to do something
similar. Once we can clearly produce the sensations of cold water in
and around ourselves, then we imagine that this watery expanse acts
to express our feelings. Water absorbs, releases, flows and
circulates energy. In a similar way, our aura encompasses and
revives the life of those with whom we have contact. It produces a
magical space in which individuals are free to be receptive to each
other and to feel acceptance and love.
As with the other elements, we now combine the energies of the
mental and astral planes. We need a clear definition and
commitment in our minds to all that water represents in its highest
sense. Again, the qualities are love, healing, nurturing, sensitivity,
acceptance, clairsentience, serenity, tranquility, purity, and so forth.
And we need a total and complete conviction that we exist within
and are a part of a magnetic watery field of energy flowing through
us and encompassing ourselves and others as well.
Both the mental and astral planes with their different approach to
water must then be united in a natural way. Part of our success in
this endeavor will arise from our study and appreciation of other
individuals who express feelings and ideals of love in their
personalities. And part of our work will involve recognizing the
great variety of sensations and ways in which water exists in the
world of nature. Again, I have given examples through poems and
stories of ways the undines have sought to deepen my understanding
of the environment and element of water in which they live.
Ultimately, their domain and their range of activities are also our
own.
Earth
If we conceive of fire as will, air as intelligence and clarity of mind,
and water as love and affection, what then shall we make of the
element of earth? In way can earth represent the integration and
strength of consciousness?
The granite boulder is stable. It retains its shape, its form and
mass, and only very gradually changes. The precious stone is harder
and more enduring and yet its structure permits the energy of light
to pass through it. Ice is water in a solid form. Its molecules though
fixed cover a wider expanse so that it floats. Air is in water and
water is in the volcanic magma as it explodes. As the heat is
released, the flowing lava turns to stone.
Plants grow on the rich nutrients of volcanic islands. Topsoil
develops and then forests. The land mass provides an environment
where life can flourish.
Consciousness integrates the different aspects of ourselves. It is
the enduring and stable landscape where our soul and spirit
accomplish their tasks. Consciousness sets priorities, identifies
values, and applies its resources and time to productive ends. There
are conflicts between values, goals, desires, and different
individuals. Consciousness uses the understanding of air, the will of
fire, and the empathy of water to arrive at practical and satisfying
solutions.
The main sensations we are after with the earth element are
weight and density. You imagine yourself as a little more heavy.
Like a tree, you are rooted in the ground. Like a boulder, you are
solid and easily resist external influence. Increasing your sense of
weight and being grounded are part of the arts of Aikido and also
Tai Chi Chuan.
With the right piece of rock, there is a sense of time being
suspended. You remember the past. Your endure for ages. Even
the far future feels near at hand. The earth element has a stronger
continuity. Past, present, and future form a continuum. The events
of life occur along a time line. You do not have to rush anywhere.
You just use the present moment in the best way you can.
I place my hand on a standing stone five thousand years old.
There is nothing fancy about this stone circle. It seems quite casual
like an afterthought the way it is set down at the end of a cow
pasture on Mull Island, Scotland. But I think to myself that all the
events of human history from the Egyptian pyramids to the present
unfolded while these stone have stood here and waited.
Consciousness can take the events of our lives and give them
order and definition. It can say, "This relationship and that event
are important to me. They always will be. These ideals I live for--
they are what give my life purpose. You see, amid all the changes--
the accidents, the failures, and the wrong turns--there is a core set of
values within myself which I uphold and experiences which I
honor."
Fire is tenacious but earth is persevering. Water offers love and
support, sweet intimacy and pleasure. But earth builds and provides
those things which satisfy our deepest desires. The air element likes
to think and to reason. It offers clarity so vast that the thought
process is lost in the illumination. But the earth element knows in its
heart that it is alive and participates in those purposes which endure
through all ages of time.
Earth cuts to the bottom line. It is not distracted by the urgency
and rapacious hunger of fire and all the issues surrounding the
maintenance of power. It is not so easily distracted by the
enchantments, romance, and passions of love. And though it too
seeks and reaches for peaks of understanding and illumination, it
does not fly off content to be detached or aloof.
Earth stays focused on the concrete and practical ways we can
materialize our ideals and operate in an effective manner in
accordance with our core values. It leaves behind a legacy. It
provides a foundation upon which future generations will build.
And if this sounds too abstract, then we can apply the same to our
own lives. In each stage of our life, we act with integrity and
accomplish our basic tasks. Then we are able to move forward and
succeed with what comes next.
In summary, this is only a tiny introduction to the psychology of
the four elements. I have not discussed here the ecstasies of the
four elements. And there are the four divine attributes relating to
different elements--omnipotence, enlightenment, omnipresence or
all-encompassing love, and immortality.
I have suggested elsewhere that the twelve signs of the zodiac
and astrology also provide insight into the four elements. An
important step in this area will be identifying for each of the twelve
signs of the zodiac its corresponding elemental sensation. Then that
rich set of symbols and interpretations can be integrated into the
psychology of the elements. To do this will require a shamanisticapproach to the symbols which characterize the zodiac signs.
The first step in working with a psychology of the four elements
involves creating elemental sensations within ourselves through
force of imagination. The sensation relating to each element has to
be fully felt. Once we can generate a particular sensation in
ourselves by will, we can then tie that sensation into the basic
qualities of the element. This approach illuminates many aspects of
the astral body which modern psychology fails to consider.
In regard to each of four elements, I refer you to my separate
essays on finding the sylph, gnome, salamander, and undine in
yourself. Though these articles derive directly from working with
elemental beings, I present the results as meditations which require
that you venture no further than the domain of your own
imagination.
Also see my different dialogues with the elemental beings. For all
their metaphysical explorations, these are not platonic dialogues.
They take place in a state of trance in which I encounter and wrestle
with the inner core essence of these marvelous spirits of nature. Yet
though I present these stories as journeys into invisible and magical
realms, the elemental beings embody treasures of spirit and feeling
which are part of our own nature.
Fire
We practice seeing and feeling fire. We evoke the sensation of
intense heat within ourselves. The basic procedure is to imagine
that our bodies are hollow inside and so able to accumulate any
energy we wish. When we are done, we imagine that the energy
dissolves again into the universe. Let us talk about the difficulties
with this concentration exercise.
Some individuals will be hesitant to work directly with fire. This
may be because fire is dangerous. It can burn you.
It may also be that they are uneasy with the idea of developing
their will and power. They may feel it is hard enough keeping one's
desires and impulses in check. If you develop your power, you
immediately run the risk of abusing that power. Passions out of
control may end up controlling you and causing all sorts of harm to
yourself and others. These concerns are very important and
individuals should listen to their own consciences on these matters.
You will recall from Greek mythology that Zeus chained the titan
Prometheus to a mountain crag and had hawks tear out his liver.
Zeus was mad at Prometheus for giving fire to the human race.
Each day the titan's liver would regenerate only to be torn out again.
The liver can be seen as representing natural growth and spiritual
consciousness. In bestowing the gift of fire to humanity,
Prometheus was giving power without the spiritual ability to know
how to use it wisely.
One way to work with the element of fire is to review fire in all
the ways it exists in nature, in society, and within ourselves. Life
was able to appear on our planet because of the heat and light of the
sun. But it took billions of years for this to occur and the earth had
to have a stable orbit and the right distance from the sun.
There are many forms of fire which exist in nature. The volcano
and forest fire are impersonal forces and extremely dangerous to
life. And yet the fire in the earth moves continents, uplifts
mountains, creates islands, and provides a variety of ecological
habitats. As civilization has developed, we have learned to use the
wood, coal, coke, oil, and gas fires turning their heat to productive
ends. Consider the history of technology and both the positive and
negative purposes to which fire has been dedicated. Fire itself, like
a knife, can be used for healthy or for destructive ends.
Consider also the importance of warmth and heat to the human
body. For the past thirty thousand years, we have managed to
survive ice ages, winters, and freezing environments. We have
developed clothing, insulation, and various heating systems to keep
us warm. We have used fire to cook and produce many new kinds
of food.
The point is that if you imagine your body filled with fiery flames
and heat you encounter a racial memory of all that fire means.
When you are evoking fire within yourself through the force of your
imagination, you need to make peace with both its productive and its
destructive aspects. You have to be comfortable with your ability to
use its power in natural ways which fulfil spiritual purposes.
On the other hand, try as they may some individuals will find it
hard to form a sensation of heat through concentration. They may
visualize a fire in front of them. They can just as easily see a fire
inside of their bodies. But nothing happens. There is no sensation
of heat which accompanies this imagery.
If, for example, the individual repeatedly places his hands near a
fire, he is still unable to get his nervous system to reproduce the
sensation of heat through concentration. The problem here is that
the individual's concentration on the mental plane is unable to
produce astral sensations. The astral body adds feelings of life and
immediacy to the imagery. When your concentration is effective on
the astral plane, as in a dream, you feel you are really there amid
whatever your visualize.
There are any number of ways of resolving this difficulty.
Basically, the idea is to become the fire. Make the fire part of
yourself. Treat fire as an extension of your own aura. Nourish it.
Care for it. Offer it welcome. Invite fire into yourself so it finds a
home and a place where it can grow strong.
For example, take some time to imagine you are collecting some
dry leaves and wood so that you can start an open fire out of doors.
Give your full attention to the match as it ignites and then starts the
dry leaves and wood burning. Assist the fire by placing small twigs
into the flames so that it can take hold. Then place a pan of water
over the fire with the intent you are going to bring the water to a
boil.
Assume the role of the fire like a cheerleader who encourages her
team to succeed. Become the heat which starts small bubbles and
then larger ones to appear in the water until the water finally boils.
Then imagine this entire visualization has taken place within your
own body. If in some way you can place emotion into your activity,
then it is easy to full the sensations which occur on the astral plane.
The heat in the fire then moves from a mental picture to an actual
sensation which is intense enough to feel real.
As I have pointed out elsewhere, there are Tibetan yogis who
visualize fire and manage to increase their body temperature by
seventeen degrees. This is no longer just a perceived sensation.
Scientists have measured it with a thermometer.
The next step is to imagine and believe quite clearly that the
presence of this element within yourself is the same as embodying
will. In psychological terms, fire radiates urgency, power, and light.
It is full of conviction and it dissolves fear. Because of its warmth
and dynamic presence, it gathers others to itself. It offers leadership,
courage, and a zest for living life.
Consider the affirmation: "I am a strong and assertive individual.
I present myself in a clear and convincing way to other people." It
is possible to form a picture in your mind that you indeed embody
these qualities. But others may still see you as a whimp. They may
treat you like you are helpless and ineffective.
The reason for this is that you have failed to create an astral
component for this thought form. Your aura does not radiate any
power or charisma. The task is to combine the mental affirmation
with an astral sensation which radiates fiery power. Others will then
immediately feel the warmth of your aura and a source of power
within you which can take charge of any situation.
Again, there is the other extreme. Some individuals will find it
easy to produce in themselves the hot, burning sensation of a fire.
Some individuals with ease can imagine the entire world as one vast
sea of flames and feel that heat extending around them for miles.
They can do this because they have a natural ability or else they
have a vivid astral imagination.
But there may be a downside to this. If they expand the fire
element in their auras, they may lack the ethics, character, and
commitment to use this force wisely. Sometimes at a red light, an
individual in one car with casually glance at someone in another car.
The second person may have an astral body full of fire which is
ready to ignite. The glance is like striking a match. The encounter
results in violence.
In this case, the feeling of power with its urgent need to act and to
dominate the situation produces negative results. The fire has not
been channeled through an alert and clear mind. Blind emotion has
taken control.
Consequently, when the fiery element in the astral body is easily
stimulated, the individual has to spend more time working on the
mental plane. The purposes for which will and power are to be
used must be carefully reviewed. The individual has to identity and
commit himself to core values which are persuasive enough to hold
the negative aspects of fire in check.
Air
As with fire, you imagine your body is a hollow space and that only
the air element exists within you. You might imagine yourself to be
like a helium balloon so you feel weightless. You feel yourself float
up into the sky. The sensation of weightlessness and floating is
basic.
Then you extend your imagination further. You imagine the
winds are part of your body. The vacuum into which air flows is
like your lungs exerting a pull as you inhale. Actually, there is a
rhythmic flow in the winds and the seasons which is like breathing.
Like a sylph, you probe and search for the harmony underlying air
movements and weather patterns.
And finally you become the winds. If you open your mind and
meditate, you become the trade winds, the north wind, the
hurricane, the thunderstorm, and the tiny gust that twirls the leaves
in your garden. In meditation, there is no light or energy the mind
can not find and reproduce to some extent within itself. Becoming
familiar with the sky is just a matter of practice and taking time.
The air element can also be overdeveloped within an individual.
If you make astral contact with the air element or communicate with
sylphs, there is a tendency for the other elements in yourself to be
shoved aside. This may lead you to a part of yourself which is wild
and restless. It is impersonal, distant, and aloof. It is not at all
concerned with the worries and responsibilities of human beings. It
knows itself to be free and so it no longer cares about the demands
of society, personality, or human feeling.
An individual with this passive aspect of the air element may be
alert, detached, and balanced within himself. But he can also be
insensitive to the extent of becoming amoral. This is not new
information. Psychology talks about psychopaths and authors write
about individuals who have lost their connections to others.
However, the phenomenon I am describing derives from an astral
enchantment. Part of the individual's astral body is no longer
focused on human existence. The individual perceives the way a
sylph perceives or as the fairies of lore who enchant human beings
to come away with them to the inner planes. As William Butler
Yeats describes it:
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
Again, psychologists such as Carl Jung have written about a circle of
enchantment which holds human beings in enthrallment. The
individual is haunted and possessed by what is unfilled in the past,
by the unmet needs of childhood and family. He does not see the
actual situations he enters and other human beings as they are but
only a distorted reflection, an illusion seen from afar. Giving and
receiving, bonding, and intimacy are twisted and bent because the
heart is incomplete.
But the enchantment of air is slightly different. The individual has
an over abundance of the air element which lacks positive
expression. There is nothing a matter with having a sylph's
heightened awareness. The Dalai Lama's weather controller
possesses this as did ancient druids.
The sylph's sensitivity can take the form of a detachment which
blends freedom with a delight in pure perception. It is a thrilling
experience as are hang gliding and parasailing. It is easy when you
feel this relaxed and free to say to yourself, "I am not a human
being. The life within me is altogether different that from what
others feel and see." When we are at play or entertained, we may
temporarily feel the same thing. We give ourselves permission to
forget about the rest of life for the duration.
But this suspending of daily demands, besides being a way to
recharge ourselves, has a productive side. An altered state of
perception enables us to see the world in new ways. The challenge is
to share this with others.
The poet does this. He perceive the delicate fragility and the
hidden beauty shining within each moment. When he writes or
speaks, he is sufficiently distant that he can savor pure feelings. But
he knows these feelings can only be expressed, found and met,
within the details and specific experiences of our lives. Each poem
is a steppingstone leading across the stream separating humanity
from the realms of fairy and the astral plane.
The artist does this. He says, "Behold my art. It is a creation of
my imagination. Its images are a mirror capturing the light I see
reflected in life." And musicians do this when the music is just
right. They are no longer aware of themselves. The notes carry
them along. The song takes on its own life and they are within both
the human plane and another domain.
Too much airy substance in the soul tempts us all to let go and
forget our ties to others. Legend tells us of a race which could not
longer compete with human beings and so retreated from our world
to become a race of fairies. But even to these we might now say,
"Return again and dwell among us. Share with us the things you
see and know that we too might behold the beauty of the world
around us." The remedy is not to retreat into detachment and a
realm of inner peace but to create new ways of sharing heart to
heart.
And finally there is the basic problem of developing astral
sensitivity. Many individuals see no further than the activities of
their daily lives. The consequence is that their emotional life is
limited in scope. In fact, most religions guide their practitioners into
a few sets of sacred experiences which are charged with astral
energy. Conversion, devotion, rapture, and commitment are
controlled and channeled in acceptable ways. Other profound
emotional experiences are labeled taboo and placed off limits or else
are ignored and considered to be irrelevant.
But if you look at a cloud it is constantly changing. If you focus
on a feeling within you and give it enough space to move, it will
continuously transform. Feelings are like the waters of the earth.
They run in underground streams. They are in the lakes, the seas,
the clouds, the rivers, the rain, and the ice caps.
A sylph is aware of every aspect of a changing cloud and yet the
sylph remains detached. To work with the air element is to have
both inner balance and a sensitivity to every nuance and aspect of
feelings. Developing this sensitivity is something which psychology
shares in common with magick. Elsewhere I write about the method
of focusing which bridges the gap between transpersonal psychology
and magical practice.
Water
To develop the sensation of water which is cold and wet, imagine
you are swimming and diving in a stream, river, lake, or ocean. It is
possible to extend your meditations along these lines until the
sensations of water become quite strong. At some point along the
way, imagine yourself becoming the water surrounding your body.
Feel the swimmer and the diver moving through your space. And
again feel the coldness of water within your body as if your body is
hollow inside.
In my various stories about my encounters with the undines, I go
into detailed descriptions about their specific astral natures. The
four I describe are all loving, receptive, sensitive, empathic, healing,
and nurturing. Also, they each have a slightly different way they
communicate the bliss and ecstasy within the water element. These
undines are very enchanting and possess many magical secrets
relating to the water element.
From my experience, undines extend their auras out into the
watery domains surrounding them. If they wish to create an
atmosphere like a wondrous festival full of dancing and song, the
water is magnetized to express their feeling. If they wish to
communicate a profound state of oneness and love, again, the water
element becomes a vehicle which carries and amplifies their
intentions.
Our task in exploring the psychology of water is to do something
similar. Once we can clearly produce the sensations of cold water in
and around ourselves, then we imagine that this watery expanse acts
to express our feelings. Water absorbs, releases, flows and
circulates energy. In a similar way, our aura encompasses and
revives the life of those with whom we have contact. It produces a
magical space in which individuals are free to be receptive to each
other and to feel acceptance and love.
As with the other elements, we now combine the energies of the
mental and astral planes. We need a clear definition and
commitment in our minds to all that water represents in its highest
sense. Again, the qualities are love, healing, nurturing, sensitivity,
acceptance, clairsentience, serenity, tranquility, purity, and so forth.
And we need a total and complete conviction that we exist within
and are a part of a magnetic watery field of energy flowing through
us and encompassing ourselves and others as well.
Both the mental and astral planes with their different approach to
water must then be united in a natural way. Part of our success in
this endeavor will arise from our study and appreciation of other
individuals who express feelings and ideals of love in their
personalities. And part of our work will involve recognizing the
great variety of sensations and ways in which water exists in the
world of nature. Again, I have given examples through poems and
stories of ways the undines have sought to deepen my understanding
of the environment and element of water in which they live.
Ultimately, their domain and their range of activities are also our
own.

Religion and Technology
At the dawn of mankind, religion was technology and technology was religion. To some extent this still holds for some of the "primitive" peoples of our times who have not yet been touched by technological advancement nor have their senses been destroyed as a result of indoctrination by organized mass religions.
At a relatively early point in human evolution a split occurred. Things that people saw as "tangible" they considered to be "technological" while that which was not tangible belonged to the realms of the Divine, later religion.
Science attempted to discover structures and natural laws in the tangible world while the metaphysical systems and theologies attempted to describe that which is going on in the intangible world. The more scientific thought advanced in recent times, the more things that were supposed to be tangible turned out not to be that tangible after all. At the same time new scientific systems developed that began to probe into the many worlds of things intangible. The seemingly sharp demarcation between that which is religious and psychic and that which is technological and scientific proved more and more to be arbitrary, if not illusionary.
On the other hand, researchers on the metaphysical side became more and more aware of the usefulness of scientific models and of scientific rigor. Most metaphysicists of our times however are not yet fully aware of the usefulness of this beneficial development. Most of them are still exhibiting a total lack of scientific training. Some even go sop far to carry hostility against scientific thought and methods. Sadly enough, it is the scientific half wits, or quarter wits, that control much of the metaphysical thinking of our times. The time for change is more than necessary. This is so because more and more people open up to the fact that things spiritual and psychic are as valid as things that are scientific and technological, in fact that the two are inseparable. We have to come to the conclusion that a spiritual, or inner, reality that is independent of or in contrast to an outer, or scientific, reality does not exist. Both realities coexist.
Again psychic technologies and spiritual advancement as well as material technologies may be considered to be facets of one and the same evolutionary process. For humans to achieve their fullest evolutionary potential, they have to include both technologies. The result of such a development is an all inclusive metaphysical technology, or a technological metaphysic. This is a discipline that can be the way to interact with all accessible levels of consciousness, or existence. It is interaction that reaches from the material planes all the way to the realms of energies of a higher order and energies of the realms of creation. We are at the threshold of an all encompassing and true magic.

Remote Influencing Or How Hexes & Curses Work
I have heard people talking recently about remote influencing. All magic is remotely influencing something. Magic is manipulating your environment. You can use the energy to make something good happen or you can use it to hex or curse someone. I will mainly talk about negatively influencing someone in life.
Everyone has what I call an energy signature. This is the vibration, pitch, colors and combined tones that says what they are in this lifetime. These can be changed or influenced by our decisions in life. They can be changed by the negative emotions and addictive behaviors. This pattern can be changed or affected by hexing or cursing.
This energy signature forms a line for the length of the person's time on this earth. I call this the person's time line. The time line has other lines joining it and splitting off from it. The lines splitting off from it are decisions that the person makes about their life. The moments when there are multiple decisions on the choices in a person's life is called a node. My best description of nodes is to glue a bunch of string to a balloon. Let the glue dry and then pop the balloon. You will then have an idea of what a node looks like.
All the time lines run together in a river and there is support for this theory in different literature. The Buddhists mention it in their literature for just one example. Choices are flexible and can be changed; but the only time this normally happens is in a node. Decisions cause a course of action to be set in someone's life and the only way to change it is to go to a different course of action. This is done in a node.
I stated in the magical theory how spells work. Hexes work within these guidelines. The different types of hexes are these.
1. Violent action causing death or injuries.
2. Mental damage.
3. Affecting everything around the person causing them to only be able to make bad choices.
There is a gray area in this category involving snooping or spying upon another person. If you believe someone is trying to snoop or spy upon you to find out some fact. The easiest way to stop this is to visualize all of your thoughts bouncing around like hot popcorn seeds. You visualize them as hard little pellets and the person trying to do this will have a violent headache.
One other method is to match the victim's energy signature and attempt to lay the person's influence over the victim's. The way to stop this is by sealing the aura or sending out an extra high pitched vibration. The energy signature will be impossible to match especially if you make your aura vibrate differently to different vibrations until the person leaves you alone.
The hexes to cause violent harm to happen to someone can be remedied and are normally very simple. This again is the voodoo doll or other basic methods. They don't match the person's energy signature except by using something of the victim's and can be undone by a simple spell.
The hexes to cause mental damage and to affect everything around the person are a lot harder to correct. Everyone broadcasts what type of person they are in their aura and by their energy signature. Some people can shield this by setting up personal wards so nothing can influence it. The normal person is vulnerable to attack by others who know how to throw hexes. The first thing is they match the energy signature. The second thing is they see what the time line looks like and what choices are branching off from the time line. They then block every choice that can be said to bring good energy or good luck to the victim.
A lot of the people casting the hexes can't see this consciously but that is what the hexes are designed to do. Hexes and curses are designed to make the person miserable for the rest of their life that fall into this category. They make people treat them differently because it is like a bad smell coming off of them. They broadcast a energy signature that is different from what the person is like in real life.
Con men and actors are good at projecting this energy signature and hiding their real energy signature without even thinking about this fact.
The hexes incorporating this into the spell are very complex and hard to undo. The person undoing this type of hexes has to be able to open up the good choices again for the person and remove the other influences.
A lot of methods involve taking a piece of the victim's etheric self. The person undoing this type of spell has to be able to travel in alternate realities and dimensions to retrieve the piece of the victim's self. The simple hex-removers or banishing will remove a lot of this but at times a expert is needed.
Everyone has what I call an energy signature. This is the vibration, pitch, colors and combined tones that says what they are in this lifetime. These can be changed or influenced by our decisions in life. They can be changed by the negative emotions and addictive behaviors. This pattern can be changed or affected by hexing or cursing.
This energy signature forms a line for the length of the person's time on this earth. I call this the person's time line. The time line has other lines joining it and splitting off from it. The lines splitting off from it are decisions that the person makes about their life. The moments when there are multiple decisions on the choices in a person's life is called a node. My best description of nodes is to glue a bunch of string to a balloon. Let the glue dry and then pop the balloon. You will then have an idea of what a node looks like.
All the time lines run together in a river and there is support for this theory in different literature. The Buddhists mention it in their literature for just one example. Choices are flexible and can be changed; but the only time this normally happens is in a node. Decisions cause a course of action to be set in someone's life and the only way to change it is to go to a different course of action. This is done in a node.

Understanding Entities & Defending Yourself
There are many as many different types of entities as there are cultures and different people on this planet. They all have certain similarities even with all the diverse cultures and different climates. We have a tendency to ignore all of the myths and legends as superstition or tall tales. I believe that there is a lot more truth to these myths than anyone really knows.
Entities can be put into two major groups and divided into subgroups after that. These are:
1.Good entities
a.Angels
b.Gods
c.Helpful spirits
i.elemental spirits
ii.planetary spirits
iii.ancestral spirits
2.Bad entities
a.Demons
b.Gods
c.Dual-natured spirits
i.elemental spirits
ii.planetary spirits
iii.ancestral spirits
Most of this is self-explanatory except for the helpful and dual natured spirits. Elementals can be of either good or bad intentions. It depends upon the elemental and how you meet them. The basic types are air, water, fire and earth. They have elementals that can be considered blends of the different types of elements. The best thing to do is to leave them alone unless they come up to you and volunteer to help.
Planetary spirits are next. They also have a dual nature and there are good and bad spirits. Some demons have planetary and elemental aspects to them. The planets are Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Moon, Sun, Neptune, and Uranus. A good book on astrology or candle-burning will tell you the different aspects. You can tell by the subjects listed why they are considered to have a dual nature.
Ancestral spirits are also included in this description because they have a dual nature. There are many cultural and tribal legends about how to appease the ghosts of the ancestors. There are also many tales about avoiding angry ghosts in every culture on this earth. Included in this are earth spirits that are animal based or nature based. You also hear tales of helpful ghosts and earth spirits. Voodoo provides a ready base about dual-natured spirits. The voodoo loas have dual natures and can do good or evil depending upon how they appear and which loa is aspected.
All of these spirits that are of a dual nature can do good or bad. It all depends upon their nature and the circumstances of when and where you meet them.
I also have to mention that I am including the gods in both groups because of the many legends and myths that show different gods that do different things. These things are not always good and every culture has a good versus evil theme to their legends.
In the world of today there have been many new and different types of entities evolving. The types and appearances have changed but they seem to have one thing in common. Our environment is not natural for them. They seem to have an elemental or planetary nature. They aren't very smart and they seem to mainly be drawing energy off of human beings for their own uses. These minor spirits are capable of damaging the health and environment of anyone that they attach their links too.
The main reason the methods of self defense work is because of the nature of all of these entities. Every thing has a certain type of energy. This includes rocks and stones as much as people. Everything can absorb the energy of events that happen around it. You can pick up a volcanic rock and hold it in your left hand. Sense the impressions you get off of it.
These entities need a certain type of energy to be able to exist in our environment. I have observed that when a person has an entity of the negative or bad sort attached to them-they also have similar problems. The entities seem to feed off of what would be called the bad emotions. These emotions are anger, rage, suspicion, jealousy, hate, lust, greed, fear, envy and all of their variations. I would like you to think how many people are visible nowadays showing these emotions all of the time. No one seems to know what they are as a person anymore. I wonder how many of these people have entities attached to them.
Every method that you can find in books or by researching in libraries that are used for magical self-defense changes the vibrations present in an area. This makes it so the energy for these entities to survive isn't present. They have to leave and go elsewhere to exist. This is essential for getting rid of crossed circumstances and entities. You banish the energy that is used to make it possible for those things to happen.
The next question is always "How can I do that-everyone always has bad things happen to them." It is true that as long as we're alive nothing is going to go perfectly all of the time. We can make life a lot easier on ourselves by just using some simple methods.
The first thing to do is use self-introspection. You have to impartially look at yourself and be sure that this is how you want to act. You then know when you are being used by something else. You know when it isn't in your nature to act the way you're acting. You can also see how your life might be being influenced by negative influences. If you can truthfully say this isn't me and no one has things like this happen. You can then take the next step.
The next step is to observe everything. I always suggest looking at things out of the corner of your eyes to see if anything seems to flicker or move. Observe your charkas and see if there anything dark or nasty attached to them. Do you feel energy being sucked out of your body or drained all of the time. Does everything seem to be put on hold or delayed in your life? What is your emotional state all of the time. Write down everything you observe and see if you could be being influenced by something else. You can notice these entities also when you can't seem to quit being in a negative mood. I call it a negative mood when any of the above emotions are a constant in your life. I find a lot of the people who are affected by entities can't remember the last time in their lives that they were happy or felt safe.
I then suggest that if you really believe you are being hexed or have an entity attached to you that you do research. There are many different things that raise the energies and the vibrations in an area. The higher pitched vibrations are better. Music is just one of them. There are many books in bookstores and libraries with methods of banishing or exorcising a place or area. If you don't believe you can handle the problems yourself talk with someone else that can give advice or help you.
You decide what method you want to use and decide when to do it. Don't vary the instructions or change the method. Do it exactly the way that it says to perform the method. If you do change it write down what you do and keep a record of it. This is very important as no one can help you if they can't figure out what you've done.
You do everything correctly and then look at your space. You can see the energy glowing a brilliant color that is friendly and welcoming. Your aura has changed colors and looks brighter. All of this happens because you raised the energy vibrations to make it where good spirits want to be there to help you. Any good energy and spirits always feels right and welcoming. Harsh energies and colors mean that you still have work to do. Murky energy and colors mean a problem also.
The whole key to making any of these methods work is to have the high vibration energy around you and in your space. It provides a barrier so none of the negative forces can enter. It also makes it so anything that can enter will have good intentions and be helpful to you. I hope that this article has been helpful to you. You can also bring good into your life by using these methods.
1. You have thoughts and feelings that are unusual for you or you feel that they aren't your own feelings.
2. You feel that everything around you is going wrong and you have no way to figure out why this is happening.
3. You are having an extreme change in physical health and no energy at all for doing the normal things in your life.
This can be a factor in normal life but not all the conditions at the same time when you've been seeing something out of the corner of your eye. There are many different types of problems that could be just dismissed as normal life until all the factors are added together.
Problems with people can't be categorized as quickly as entity problems. The most obvious one is who do you have mad at you and what do they know. You then have to ask would they be willing to hurt or harm someone using what they know. I can truthfully say that most people who know magic of any sort do not go around throwing hexes or curses on someone. They are normally people who work hard upon themselves and their flaws. The few people that do this have given most of the other people a bad name.
The symptoms to watch out for if you have been hexed or cursed are diverse. There are people who effect others lives and are willing to do it.
1. Did they threaten you with magic? All the people I have met who do this let you know what they are doing. They want you to fear them because they can use that emotion to make their spell work.
2. How is your life going? I have noticed most hexed people can talk about their miraculous escapes from death or other problems in life. You hear them talk and then everyone thinks "How could anyone have that many things go wrong at once."
3. Have you been having multiple nightmares of people or things causing you to be upset.
4. Do you occasionally hear chanting, or smell incense and odors. I have noticed that most people being hexed hear or know the people are doing things on some level.
5. Do you see things out of the corner of your vision. I also have noticed that people do occasionally see images of things or people. You don't have to be trained to notice this.
I have helped many people in the past and hope to help more in the future with psychic problems. All of those people would have been able to change their lives for the better if they had known how to defend themselves. I have heard many people say you attract what you deserve. This is not true as a lot of the people that have been victims with these problems are really nice, decent people. The people who try to do the most good sometimes have the most problems.

TRAINING TO SEE AURAS V4 Part 7
25. Practise and time:
It takes practise to see the human aura, so don't be
disappointed if you fail, or see very little the first few
times you try. If you managed to see the aura of the original
blue book, you CAN learn to see the human aura.
Using this training method stimulates the brow centre, which
is responsible for all types of non-physical sight. With
use, it will grow in strength and seeing auras will become
progressively easier to do. It may take weeks, before you get
your first, proper glimpse of the human aura, if you have
poor natural ability for this - but with practise, as I did,
you WILL eventually be able to see it.
I suggest that you practise the mental opening and stimulation
exercises, and observe auras for at least a few minutes every
day. This will stimulate your brow centres development.
26. Spontaneous auric sight:
You will find there will be days when auras are very
difficult to see. You will also find there are days when
auras just appear around people and objects, without any
conscious effort on your part to see them. You will find
this happening at odd times, when your brow centre is, for
some reason, very active. You may be sitting down talking to
someone, and all of a sudden you will see their aura, or
the aura of their clothing, with no effort at all.
Episodes of strong, spontaneous auric sight, will happen
frequently, once you begin stimulating and developing your
brow centre, through the practise of observing auras.
A letter showing this:
Eric: "I have been practising your method daily, for over
a month now, but have not succeeded in seeing much of a
human aura, until now. I can usually see the auras of
colours and plants, and can see my own aura fine. Up
until now, I have only been able to see the auras of
colour, the etheric and some patches of distortion around
people, when I try and see their auras.
Yesterday, I was working on my computer, and my girlfriend
came into my room. She had just showered and was getting
dressed. I just looked at her and "BOOM!!!" there was this
huge aura all around her. It was really beautiful and solid
looking. It was mostly green around her body with a yellow
glow around her head. Oh - there were some red and orange
patches around her hips and stomach.
I was not trying to see her aura. I was trying to finish
my work and was very tired, what with exams coming up the next
week. It just appeared around her like magic.
What happened, how could I see it without trying to? I tried
the next day, but couldn't see it again. What happened?"
Me: Bravo Eric! You are doing extremely well. What you saw
was the full living aura of your girlfriend. I take it she was
naked when you saw it? This would have helped you to get a
better view of it. This is spontaneous auric sight, caused by
all the practise you have been doing - seeing auras. This
will happen more frequently, from now on. It will just happen,
from time to time, when your brow centre is very active, for
some reason or other. This is a sign your brow centre is
responding well to the exercises I gave you, and developing
nicely. Your dreams should also increase in frequency and become
much more vivid, with more lucid dreams etc. This is another
sign of your brow centre developing.
This, above, is a good example of spontaneous auric sight. Eric was
tired and relaxed, when it first happened - the perfect state for
seeing auras. He had been practising auric sight exercises for several
weeks. This had stimulated his brow centre, causing bouts of spontaneous
auric sight to happen.
Eric was lucky enough to have a naked subject for his first
view of an aura, showing him the full human aura, with no
interference from clothing etc. With Eric, this sort of thing
happened every few weeks, for about a year. It then
increased in frequency, happening about once a week, on
average. Sometimes this only showed him a patch of colour on
someone, for a few seconds - at other times, he sees a full
aura.
After Eric had this first bout of spontaneous auric sight, he
found it much easier to see the human aura, when he tried. He
still cannot see the whole aura - when he wants to - unless it
happens spontaneously. He can now, though, see bands and
patches of colours in peoples auras, that he could not see
before.
27. Close:
I have taught many people to see the aura using this, above,
method. The fast results, in the early stages, help to build
confidence and keep interest high. This ensures enough work
and effort is put in to get the desired results - seeing the
human aura.
Once you have seen your first aura, you have taken your first
step into a much larger, and more colourful world. If you
practise and graduate to seeing, even a glimpse, of the
illusive human aura, then you are making very good progress
indeed, and your brow centre is showing it's development -
through your increased ability. The next step from this is to
develop clairvoyance. This is the ability to see the more
subtle energies in the world around you. These energies
contain within them: karmic influences, life conditions, the
results of past actions, and future events and probabilities -
plus lots of other exciting and interesting stuff. This
energy is seen, clairvoyantly, as metaphoric imagery, full of
richly symbolic meaning. This is seen as anything from a
simple still picture, to a full coloured, motion picture
quality, mind's eye vision.

my work and was very tired, what with exams coming up the next
week. It just appeared around her like magic.
What happened, how could I see it without trying to? I tried
the next day, but couldn't see it again. What happened?"
Me: Bravo Eric! You are doing extremely well. What you saw
was the full living aura of your girlfriend. I take it she was
naked when you saw it? This would have helped you to get a
better view of it. This is spontaneous auric sight, caused by
all the practise you have been doing - seeing auras. This
will happen more frequently, from now on. It will just happen,
from time to time, when your brow centre is very active, for
some reason or other. This is a sign your brow centre is
responding well to the exercises I gave you, and developing
nicely. Your dreams should also increase in frequency and become
much more vivid, with more lucid dreams etc. This is another
sign of your brow centre developing.
This, above, is a good example of spontaneous auric sight. Eric was
tired and relaxed, when it first happened - the perfect state for
seeing auras. He had been practising auric sight exercises for several
weeks. This had stimulated his brow centre, causing bouts of spontaneous
auric sight to happen.
Eric was lucky enough to have a naked subject for his first
view of an aura, showing him the full human aura, with no
interference from clothing etc. With Eric, this sort of thing
happened every few weeks, for about a year. It then
increased in frequency, happening about once a week, on
average. Sometimes this only showed him a patch of colour on
someone, for a few seconds - at other times, he sees a full
aura.
After Eric had this first bout of spontaneous auric sight, he
found it much easier to see the human aura, when he tried. He
still cannot see the whole aura - when he wants to - unless it
happens spontaneously. He can now, though, see bands and
patches of colours in peoples auras, that he could not see
before.
27. Close:
I have taught many people to see the aura using this, above,
method. The fast results, in the early stages, help to build
confidence and keep interest high. This ensures enough work
and effort is put in to get the desired results - seeing the
human aura.
Once you have seen your first aura, you have taken your first
step into a much larger, and more colourful world. If you
practise and graduate to seeing, even a glimpse, of the
illusive human aura, then you are making very good progress
indeed, and your brow centre is showing it's development -
through your increased ability. The next step from this is to
develop clairvoyance. This is the ability to see the more
subtle energies in the world around you. These energies
contain within them: karmic influences, life conditions, the
results of past actions, and future events and probabilities -
plus lots of other exciting and interesting stuff. This
energy is seen, clairvoyantly, as metaphoric imagery, full of
richly symbolic meaning. This is seen as anything from a
simple still picture, to a full coloured, motion picture
quality, mind's eye vision.
