THE THALAMIC MIDDLE PILLAR You may sit or lie down flat.
Take a few moments to relax your body and breathe deeply and fully.
Establish a pattern of breathing.
Breathe in for 4 seconds,
Hold for 2,
Inhale for 4,
And hold again for 2.
Like this.
Close your eyes and become aware of the void that lies behind your closed eyes.
It extends infinitely in all directions.
You may begin to notice flashes of light or stars,
And continue to concentrate on the infinity that lies all around you.
Now,
Slowly and powerfully vibrate the name Nuit.
And as you do this,
Imagine the expanse of infinity behind your closed eyes to be you.
You are that infinity.
Vibrate Nuit and all the time expanding your awareness.
Now begin to breathe into your crown chakra,
The uppermost point on your head.
Imagine that your crown chakra is your apparatus of breathing and all the energy of your breath is concentrated at the crown of your head.
This may only seem tenuous at first,
But don't worry about that for now.
The impression will strengthen soon.
Continuing to breathe into your crown chakra,
Visualize a sphere or star of a bright white shining light just above your head,
About the size of a tennis ball,
In the region of your breathing.
Radiation should power out of it as if it were a small sun,
Your own personal sun.
Inhale,
And deeply concentrating on the breath filling up the stars above your head,
As you exhale,
Vibrate the name Hadith and watch and feel the star growing in brilliance.
Now.
Relax for a few moments.
And feel the energy pulsing above your head.
On an exhalation,
Push a shaft of white light down to your head from the star above you to your throat.
Begin breathing energy down the shaft into your throat,
Always beginning at the star above your head.
And now visualize a second sphere or star in the center of your throat.
Inhale,
And deeply concentrating on the descending energy into your throat,
As you exhale,
Vibrate the name Aivas and watch and feel the stars brighten while you repeat the process.
Now.
Relax once again and feel the energy pulsing through your head and throat.
On an exhalation,
Push the shaft of white light down past your throat from the star in your throat to the area around your heart and solar plexus.
Breathe energy down the shaft into your throat and down to your chest,
Always beginning at the star above your head.
You will now visualize a third sphere or star in the center of your chest.
Inhale,
And deeply concentrating on the descending energy into your chest,
As you exhale,
Vibrate the name Rahur Kuit and visualize the stars brighten and become more brilliant and intense as you do this.
Now.
Relax and observe your body,
Noticing any changes,
If there are any changes at all,
And feel the pulsation of the energy.
On an exhalation,
Push the shaft of white light down through your chest from the star above you to your pelvic area.
Breathe energy down the shaft into your throat and down to your chest and all the way down to your pelvis,
Always beginning at the star above your head.
And visualize now a fourth sphere or star around your genitals.
Inhale,
And deeply concentrating on the descending energy into your genitals,
As you exhale,
Vibrate the name Babylon and feel the stars growing in brilliance as you do this.
Now.
Relax and feel this powerful flow of energy.
On an exhalation,
Push the shaft of white light down through your genitals from the star above you and to your feet.
Breathe energy down the shaft into your throat and down to your chest and through your genitals and down to your feet,
Always beginning at the star above your head.
And visualize now a fifth sphere or star around your feet.
Inhale,
And deeply concentrating on the descending energy into your feet,
As you exhale,
Vibrate the name Therion and feel the stars growing in brilliance as you do this.
Now.
Therion Therion Therion Therion Relax and observe your body once again,
Noticing whatever is happening there,
If anything at all,
And feel the radiating energy.
Maintaining the downward flow as much as possible,
Focus your attention back on the star above your head.
On an exhalation,
Push a ball of light and energy out of the star above your head and down the left side of your body to the star beneath your feet.
Inhale,
And bring it back up your right side to the star above your head,
Forming a circle of light around you.
Repeat this five times,
Or until it seems solid.
Now,
On an exhalation,
Bring a ball of light down the front of your body to the star beneath your feet.
Inhale,
And bring it back up the rear of your body to the star above your head,
Forming another circle of light.
Once again,
Repeat this process five more times,
Or until it seems solid.
Relax for a few moments now,
And feel all these pathways of energy as vividly as you can.
Focus your attention on the star beneath your feet.
Inhale,
And bring a spiraling shaft of light swirling up around your body and to the star above your head.
And while exhaling,
Visualize a fireworks-like explosions of light that rains gently down upon you and is collected into the star beneath your feet.
Repeat this process five more times.
And now you are surrounded by an egg of energy pulsing through and around your body.
You are in a cocoon,
And you will now begin to transform.
Within you,
There's a bird of prey,
A golden hawk.
Feel your face grow more and more streamlined as a beak forms.
Feel your arms slowly transform into wings,
Golden feathers appearing all over your body.
When you feel ready,
Break free from the egg in your golden hawk body and soar into the infinite emptiness beyond.
Return only when you're ready.
Soar for as long as you like.
In the infinite beyond,
It appears before your eyes the image of a golden child sitting on a lotus flower.
He presses the right forefinger of his hand on his lips,
Motioning you to do the same and to keep silence.
