Practical ascension
-
Can anyone please give me some practical rituals which would be efficient for an aspiring magician to follow? I try to meditate about 30 minutes a night and do the LBRP right before that. Anything else than that one might add in order to focus the mind etc?

I'd make the Middle Pillar ritual my next priority - and Liber Resh as well - but not to focus the mind. Use meditation for that. The rituals should produce other tangible results, at least after working with them for a while.

Ah, thanks!

What I notice from LBRP is a feeling of energy. Actually, as I do the Qabalistic Cross, I feel sensations of energy when I touch my head, abdomen and shoulders. The tingliness just seems to become enhanced throughout the ritual.
After the MPR, the tingling has become a full-bodied lightness and relaxation similar to after practicing Qigong. When I look in the mirror afterwards (all over the place, unfortunately), I can't help but notice how different my eyes look. To me, I feel relaxed, but to look at, they sort of get that peculiar "look" I've seen in so many other famous occultists' eyes. Sometimes I feel like I'm looking at someone else.
