Libra

the practice, step by step

This is the practice part of Libra, in his words only, set out step by step. Each card has a line of his at the top, a small box with how and when, taken from his own sentences, and then his paragraphs cut at their full stops and clauses into numbered steps, nothing added and nothing left out. The balancing movement, Ursa Major and the yellow stone, the order of the week and indifference come from the Zodiacal Course of 1951; the balancing movement once more and the work with Karma come from the Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology of 1967; the rune TORN comes from Christ Will of 1955; the perfume comes from Occult Medicine and Practical Magic. The order of the week and indifference stand as cards to keep in mind. The syllables and the drawn-out mantra TORN are printed letter for letter as he prints them. The full teaching, with every passage around these, is in the main booklet, Libra.
