Gaining control of – or guiding – the self and the subliminal:
One’s emotion is the spiritual mist which fuels and guides all works, as the consciousness and the mind watch over what it is that they are doing. When the emotion apostasizes towards the true will, one must cast a circle, and then externalize the desire. See clearly its form, set its feet near the rim of the outer parts of the circle. Whatever it may be, get it to kneel before you, and then command it to make an oath under you. It must set its left hand upon the dagger or sword within your two hands, as the blade faces horizontally, and the hand is not against that which is sharp. It must bow its head, and close its eyes. It must agree and submit under you, and you must agree and submit under the truth; [the truth being] the most correct way of things that you currently comprehend. A man’s body is a nation, which is only strong when it is not divided against itself. Thus, dominate the disunity, and submit to the unity. Order – not chaos – is a living system, possessing will. Get it to stand up, and open its eyes, cut the circule with the blade, and embrace the emotional form with both arms, as it returns into you.
All of the individuals are controlled by the higher forces. Below and within the individual there are also forces – which shall be controlled and shall do the controlling, as not one thing controls everything. The desires of the body parts call out to the head, and give thanks once satisfied. Both the giver and the taker may fall inlove with one another, thus each hold more power over one another, though one is giving and the other is taking. In this same way, call out with honesty and a loud voice towards all things that you need, and to all higher powers. If you recieve, then give deep thanks, and channel your pleasure into the objects, forces or beings which have given to you. This is seen as the controlling and the being controlled, both at the same time, which is the will.
Also, practice standing still. Stand still for as long as you can, and resist the restlessness when it arises. Teach the restlessness to relax, calm down, focus and still itself. Force stopping force – is a double loss, both within and without, this applies. Tell your restlessness to rest, and concerve its energy for the greater goal.
Establishing good understanding of yourself – will make good communication with yourself possible, which will make skillful use of yourself more possible. Understanding and communication = functionality and advancement.
