In this book, our method will be that of the indirect path, using potent associative symbols from the collective unconscious, that will lead our awareness into direct apprehension of the Uncreate Realities that these symbols represent, so that we can look with the Eye of Time into the Eye of Eternity. For it is vital to realize that symbols, of themselves, are empty forms, cups awaiting the wine. They are the signposts that indicate the direction of our journey, but not the journey itself. A symbol becomes connected to the spiritual force it represents through study and meditation. Part of the purpose in the teaching sections of this book... 

One of the purposes for attaining the Stone of the Wise enshrined in the Mercury center (astrologically, Mercury rules communication) is to produce a receptor capable of receiving the more rarefied spiritual influences and an organism capable of transmitting them. Selfish salvation there is none. It is for all others, as well as for ourselves, that we undertake the Work. Likewise, in Mahayana Buddhism, all rituals and meditations end with the dedication that Whatever benefits are accrued may help all beings to reach Enlightenment. ... 

When, after prayer and meditation, it becomes clear that decisive action must be taken—on whatever plane of existence—place a drawn sword upon the table, the blade s point toward the Grail and its hilt toward you. You now sit at the Table of Action. If a sword is then laid upon the table by each of the Companions—until the Grail is surrounded by twelve shining swords—this indicates that the proposed action is just and that the energies of the table and its Fellowship will flow through you. 

Later that day, I sat and meditated upon my future. Because books had such an impact on me, I refused to believe I couldn t con-...

However, all is not work and meditation for the modern Alchemist, a reserved and politely tolerant chap like Duchamp. At times, this Initiate will venture forth from his darkened laboratory, and at such times, just as we also know was notoriously the case with Marcel Duchamp, he shall seek out female company, with whom he must also behave with decorous, even emotionally distant, restraint. ... 

Why is DMT a less valid path to God or transcendence than a Gregorian chant, Baha i prayer, or Melungeon meditation How can we say that a mystical experience triggered by prayer is superior in revealing truth and beauty than the experience triggered by drugs or abnormal electrical firing in the brain s temporal lobes And what about people who both pray and meditate and explore with DMT ... 

In a similar fashion, there is more than a strong family resemblance between hypnosis and meditation. Erikson (1965) has explored this question in a famous experiment with Al-dous Huxley as his subject. A common approach to Zen meditation (Wienpahl, 1964) involves having the meditator... 

Conversely, my mind seemed quite calm, as I looked forward to trying this combination primarily with curiosity, secondly with enthusiasm, and felt only a slight amount of apprehension. I took a shower and meditated for a while to calm down prior to smoking the Salvinorin.

A period of time (usually at least three days) should be set aside in which the experience will run its natural course and there will be sufficient time for reflections and meditation. It is important to keep schedules open for three days and to make these arrangements beforehand. A too-hasty return to game-involvements will blur the clarity of the vision and reduce the potential for learning. If the experience was with a group, it is very useful to stay together after the session in order to share and exchange experiences.
