Dear Peter, >> What I don't quite understand is how the condensation of a specific quality of light within the magical triangle into an astral density, and the evocation of a spirit into that atmosphere furthers that progression of the subtle mental energies manifesting themselves within physicality. Especially since, when doing as such, one is seperated from the spirit that is evoked by both the magical circle and the magical triangle. << In addition to Parzifal's comment about exercising muscles that were previously unexercised by mental wandering alone, there's also the fact that an evocation involves conversation *at the mundane level of one's awareness*. In other words, the conversation between the magician and the evoked entity occurs within the mundane, material realm. This level of interaction integrates into the magician's waking consciousness much more readily and completely than do the experiences obtained during mental wandering. It's like adding the icing to a cake. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 03 Aug 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
