Dear Peter, >> To the best of my knowledge, the first step towards full evokation is the direct perception of the aura spirit one wishes to evoke. Or, in some respects, to know the "true name" of the spirit as it where. In step 3 of your self healing archeaus one can experience the direct perception of something. So I'm wondering if it would be possible to work with the sigil of a spirit during step 3 in order to come in contact with the spirit without having the veil of the psyche muddling up the transmition as it where? << That would work for achieving a deeper understanding of the *sigil* itself, through the process of taking it from a one-pointedness, into an emptiness of mind and back. But the sigil is not the spirit so this would not be a "contact". My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 20 Jan 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
