All day and night, music,
a quiet, bright
reedsong. If it
fades, we fade.
Clock is Ticking
Travelers, it is late.
Life’s sun is going to set.
During these brief days that you have strength,
be quick and spare no effort of your wings.
Exercise I
Clairvoyance
In front of a mirror, contemplate your face closely. Then pray,
My Soul, you should succeed;
My Soul, you should overcome Satan;
My Soul, take over my mind,my sentiments, my life.
You should keep the Guardian of the Threshold far away from me;
You should overcome him;
You should take power over me totally.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
Say this prayer seven times and then observe in the mirror your eyes, your pupils, the center of your pupils, the retina of your eyes. Do this once daily.
Not I
We. Try to think in terms of ‘we’ instead of ‘I’. This will weaken our defects, making them easier to get rid of. This will also steer our conversations and endeavors with our fellow men towards success.
When we speak in terms of ‘I’ all of our pride, arrogance, desire, etc. comes to the fore. People are naturally put off by such a display. Now everyone is thinking with their own ‘I’ and the competition begins, to see which ‘I’ will get what they want.
When we speak in terms of ‘we’, everyone is drawn in to see what ‘we’ can do. Not only do ‘we’ succeed, but ‘we’ invariably get what ‘we’ are after.
