"In Ritual therefor, we seek continually to unite the mind to some pure idea by an act of will.  This we do again and again, more and more passionately, with more and more determination, until at last the mind accepts the domination of the will, and rushes of it's own accord toward the desired object.   This surrender of the mind to its Lord gives the holy ecstasy we seek."

performed Relaxation Ritual, noticed that my sight - quite physical was a bit obscured.  Performed Liber XXV, without the invocation of Pan, and again with it.   Didn't seem to be a problem, probably a good thing considering that I've been a bit quick to wrath of late.  Felt very energized.  Liber XXXVI went well, although the hexagrams caused a bit of trouble - rational thought, deosil-widdershins ? I believe I alternated with the elements - positive negative.  Did not destroy the effects for I did not dwell on the "problem".  Middle Pillar Ritual felt very "good", I could feel the current.  I projected from the temple, and without the usual trouble.  Floated to a place with two waterfalls, a lady stood there, holding a book - I asked her name, but got none.  I used the pantical, and a pentagram of water, and beseeched her by the watchtower of the west and heard "The Lady of the Rivers" - as if from the waterfalls.  I could make nothing of the book she held.  I looked and looked - nothing.  I turned to leave but turned around again to see if I was missing something - but she closed the book and sunk into the waters.

Love is the Law, Love under Will"

Sat in the Dragon asana for 8 minutes.  Felt like much longer.  It seemed that to focus on the Waterfalls is to become the blank book.  all noise, sensation is part of the roaring, with all the fury and the sound cancels out, and a new relative state emerges, a new stage perhaps ?
