Turret Room

Two of these symbol combinations you have already encountered in your practice the Akasha-Tejas symbol on the door-plate of the Chapel of the Rose-Croix, denoting the Sun center, and the Apas-Apas glyph on the door into the Turret Room, the Moon chakra. The others will become apparent when we complete the Tower of the Art. 

Turning our attention to the Turret Room of Da ath, to the right of the eastern serpent-framed window, there is a purple pull-rope. It is used to lower or raise a trapdoor in the ceiling ornamented with the Prithivi-Prithivi symbol of the Mercury center, and from it comes a ladder that enables one to ascend to the battlements of the tower, which correspond to the crown center, the Sahasrara-padma, the thousand-petaled Lotus.

Pass to the Chamber of Indwelling and, from there, to your physical body. Absorb the castle golem into latency. When you wish to continue this practice, project the castle, and then project your consciousness into it. Enter the Turret Room to stand before the Regent. See in the crystal orb within his hands the scene in the practice as you left it. See yourself in that scene, then mentally step into it and continue.]...
