"I would propose that functionality relative to humanity should be the deciding factor. So, while a CD is obviously a whirling disk and one would suppose this to be "earthy," its actual function is to store information, and therefore it goes in Chesed. etc. "

Or Kaph.

I generally agree with your recommended criterion.

It's simpler than you're making it. Just imagine the flame. Anything more subtle will come from that. (It originates as if pouring out of your finger as if your finger were an ink-pen.)

"Yes, thanks, The Art of True Healing, I forgot the title.
In what Regardie book can I find the colors you use?
I wonder why he changed the colors?"

The colors used in The Art of True Healing were (IIRC) for a specific purpose - a preparation for healing work. He created an elemental model specifically for that.

But the underlying technique of the Middle Pillar Ritual, from the beginning, involved the Sephiroth of the Middle Pillar of the Tree of Life. Without pulling the books off the shelf and looking, I imagine you'll find what I gave in books The Middle Pillar, his various Golden Dawn books, some of the summary magical works at the end of his life (that I can picture but not remember the titles of at the moment), etc.

I would say the Beast is the energy that informs the Ruach - the Chiah, like James mentions above.

"AC seems to have believed that there was indeed some sort of astral "stuff" attached to the cards that the fledgeling psychic could tune in to. The question is how to go about confirming or refuting that hypothesis.The fact that you get better results with the computer tests is a data point against. Keep up the good work, take careful notes, and let us know how things turn out!"

In my experience, and that of some people with whom I've worked, the very best effects are produced by using an old, well-used Tarot deck that has been long-employed by someone who really knows what they're doing.

That does imply that there is something "on" the cards that is detectable - probably explaining the title "physical clairvoyance" for the particular exercise.

The guy I met, I met after deciding that I needed to wait for a while and focus on expanding my life in the ways of the law. Which is strange to me, I searched and no luck and then, oh there you are. But, he came in the form of someone I had respected and looked up to at the nearest OTO body. What a surprise to me this was.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

"Why is there no A & B option? Shows a sort of bias on the pollster's side."

I thought that if the job is a function of the true will, the proceeds would naturally take care of whatever needs to be taken care of. So, B includes A, but A does not include B. But, if one has two jobs... then we do need an A&B. Sorry for the confusion.

Love is the law, love under will.

When I last touched base with the owners (around 2004), it was still in the hands of the MacGillivray family. Ronald MacGillivray died in 2002--his illness was one reason the family shut down the B and B--but I believe his wife Annette still owns the property. As I understand it, they are the descendents of the Lovat and Fraser clans who were the ancestral owners of the property. My current understanding is that the house is NOT open as a B and B at this point.

Thanks Metzareph, for your genuine concern. It is important to remember that "feeling" ready does not immunize me from danger. If you have time, please elaborate on some of the experiences of the people you know who have gotten caught up in this type of exercise. "

Well, back in 2001 encountered one particular person that asked my help because he was "trapped" in different dimensions and "needed to get his body back". This person lost the ability to "reintegrate" and the end result was some type of schizophrenia or psychosis, and this is just one example of the many I've encountered.

What I am saying is that there is people that have the ability to do this almost automatically, but these people have to focus on the physical experience and their bodies. There is risk here, as I see it, of becoming more and more detached from the malkuth level and this will affect your mental health.
