PRACTICES 1.
Imaginative knowledge
The syllables MA, MA, PA, PA, BA, BA, are the first ones we articulate in childhood. With these syllables, you can begin the Initiation. Sing them assuming an innocent, childish attitude. In Mozart’s enchanted flute you can learn the intonation of these sacred syllables. Mozart put those syllables in his wonderful work.
Fall asleep assuming a childlike attitude, remembering the first years of childhood, and mentally intoning the sacred syllables. The word papa is vocalized by singing aloud the first syllable PA and lowering the voice at the second syllable PA. Then you will articulate the syllable PA many times. You will do the same with the MA syllable.
Fall asleep meditating in your childhood. Relive all childhood with your imagination. Mentally articulate the sacred syllables. Know that every child is clairvoyant up to the age of four. Then the innocent atoms of clairvoyance sink into the subconscious. If you want to regain clairvoyance, meditate on childhood, and fall asleep deeply by articulating the first syllables of the child.
Ma, Ma, Pa, Pa, Ba, Ba.
Meditation and the sacred syllables will awaken the infantile atoms of clairvoyance. Then you will rise to imaginative knowledge, you will learn to think of living images. The current race only thinks in terms of ideas. Ideas are the result of desire. Someone thinks of conquering a woman, then an idea comes to him, etc. Ideas are me. You will learn to think about living images. The infantile meditation and the sacred syllables will awaken the infantile atoms for a new activity.
Imaginative knowledge gives you the power to travel consciously and positively in the etheric body. When the student has achieved imaginative awareness, then he can begin the exercises for inspirational awareness.
