Re: [BardonPraxis] Eight Temples

["Rawn Clark" <rawnclark@...>]

Dear Crispin,
>> I don't doubt it's efficacy, but I am slightly confused
as to whether you are meant to visualize (imagine) anything beyond
the tunnel and the curtain with the symbol on it (quite a feat in
itself, that's a complicated symbol!), or will the experience take on
a momentum of it's own? <<

Here's an excerpt from my introduction to the 8T:

"Perhaps the third most commonly asked question is whether or not the
entire script of each meditation ritual needs to be memorized. The
answer is no, the entire script does not need to be memorized, but the
salient points do. It is especially important that you memorize the
sequence of events so that you don't have to refer back to the script in
the middle of the meditation ritual.

"It is equally important that you visualize each event. For instance,
when the Hebrew letters are scripted to appear at the top of the archway
curtain, it is vital that you visualize this occurring. Or when it is
scripted for me to cast the ritual circle, you should visualize my doing
so. [For a description of a circle casting, please refer to the Geburah
meditation ritual.]

"You should also spend ample time beforehand, reading through the
introductory material and memorizing the Temple and Altar images for
each meditation ritual."

>> Also, can I practice the meditation before then to make sure I get it
right? <<

There's no written law forbidding it. ;-)

See you in Malkuth!

My best to you,
