    PRANA MEDITATION

    I have been practicing the prana meditation given to me by Tahuti-An.

    Practice :

    1. Breath in 4 seconds : imagining Yod, a rush of air

    2. Hold breath 4 seconds : imagining He, incense smoke or fire

    3. Breath out 4 seconds : imagining Vau, water showering yourself

    4. Hold it 4 seconds : imagining He Final, black dirt showering

    This 4 seconds is merely a guideline. Many people experimented with different time intervals.

    I was doing a 10 sec time interval on the fourfold prana meditation when I received new insights.

    Just for the record, I had that day been practicing how to write the name of Thoth in hieroglyphs.

    4 WORLDS ON THE TREE OF LIFE

    The four worlds are well known. Here is a quick overview.

    You will notice that these diagrams are slightly different from the ones you usually find.

    Where as you will usually find :

    Atziluth Kether & Chokma & Binah

    Briah Daath & Gedulah & Geburah & Tiphareth

    Yetzirah Netzach & Hod & Yesod

    Assiag Malkuth

    You see that I here included 4 sephiroth to each world. Each world is characterized by 2 opposite forces who

    are brought into equilibrium, a source, and an output.

    Atziluth and Briah

    OVERVIEW TREE OF LIFE

    This overview is drawn from my interpretations of The Mystical Qabalah Dione Fortune. She was the first to

    succeed in delivering me such an overview.

    This might be simplistic but it works for me.

    [Considering the spheres as conditions]

    1. Kether : This is the first point where negative existence is pushed into existence.2. Chokmah : The existence in motion.3. Binah : The stability of the existence to be found when the existence meets itself (Einstein).

    [Because a state of stability implies that sooner or later this will break up again,

    Death is assigned to Binah]

    4. Gedulah : Grouped stability grouped by the law of attraction5. Gedurah : Breaking up of the grouped stability6. Tiphareth : Dividing of the grouped stability like a light shining through a prisma7. Netzach : Divided forces.8. Hod : Created forms to fit the forces9. Yesod : Different forms filled with forces.10. Malkuth: Physical manifestation of Yesod.

    REVEALING THOUGHTS

    Comparing the four worlds with the fourfold meditation.

    Breath in : Atziluth Archetypal world

    Hold breath : Briah Formative world

    Breath out : Yetzirah Astral world

    Hold : Malkuth Physical world

    See figures 2 & 3

    fig 5. : prana meditation step 3 & 4

    Breath inKether is defined as point where negative existence is pushed into existence. Also defined as a pressure point.

    When we open our longs the pressure of the air fills our lungs with air.

    1. air is pushed in the lungs by means of pressure

    2. air is moving from macrocosmos into microcosmos

    3. air particles

    Hold Breath

    We use our throat to hold in the air. Since Daath is sometimes referred to as throat we dont have to look far.

    With the closing of the throat the air is sealed of the exterior. The body is fully aware of the content. This is

    why in Daath the first signs of consciousness appear. Daath is also known as knowledge.

    4. life force is extracted [grouped] from the air [law of attraction?]

    5. air particles are broken down.

    Breath Out

    6. After transmutation [Tiph] we breath out transmutated air.

    [Tranmutation from air into multiple other particles]

    [Transmutated air is flowing from microcosmos into macrocosmos]

    7&8&9. Not clear yet

    Hold

    10. Transmuted air is manifested in macrocosmos

    TIPHARETH AS NEW K ETHER

    Based on 2 concepts :

    1. As above so belowAir flowing from Macrocosmos into Microcosmos

    Air flowing from Microcosmos into Macrocosmos

    2. Concidering the tetragramaton Y H V H

    fig. 6 : Macro microcosmos process

    The prana meditation sequence shows that Tiphareth is a turning point! This leads to the following diagram

    fig. 7 : Tiphareth as turning point

    The traditional diagram should not be read from top to bottom. One should consider Tiphareth as a turningpoint back upwards. From Tiphareth creation follows the same way back.

    fig. 8. Tiphareth as new Kether illustrated.

    From the above diagram MANY conclusions can be drawn.

    The sephiroth 8 & 7 are never shown on a traditional tree. But with some logic we can learn about their

    nature.

    Comparing with the left and middle diagram

    8 related to Gedulah (4) grouping and maintaining of Daath (*)

    [Binah with knowledge or consciousness]

    7 related to Geburah (5) breaking down of Gedulah (4) and Binah (3) back into Chokmah (2)

    8 and 7 are found in the formative world

    8 = grouping and maintaining of Yesod

    7 = breaking down of 8 and Hod

    The left diagram : Microcosmos

    In Daath we find consciousness [knowledge of the archetypal world].

    Yesod[Micro] is related to Daath[Macro].

    In Yesod we find knowledge about our archetypal world. It is also called the foundation cause we have to

    work from this point

    Our formative world is contained of 8 and 7. If these 2 are in equilibrium our creations are manifested.Malkuth[Micro] is related to Tiphareth[Macro]. If 8 and 7 are equally balanced our creations will be formed

    into the physical world!

    Thoughts and Emotions

    The equilibrium of our thoughts and emotions is Yesod. Consciousness of Microcosmos is first found here. [See

    relation with Daath[macro]].

    8 = Grouping and maintaining of Thoughts. Higher Intellectual Center [Fourth way]?

    7 = Breaking up of Thoughts. Back into Emotions Higher Emotional Center [Fourth way]?

    THE POWER OF SPEECH

    As the meditation helps wonderfully in understanding the process of creation. We might as well use the

    experience to examine how the power of speech might work.

    Breathing out

    What might possibly be uttered when breathing out?

    right, speech

    Hermetic principle

    Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates

    It is known that with the use of words people can cause other people to cry, get angry, be happy, feel good.

    By controlling speech we can change the vibration of our archetypal world [breathing out]

    THE POWER OF WRITING GLYPHS

    So we continue to examine the possibility of attaining magical work by scribehood.

    As above so below

    We are trying to examine what the other 3 worlds in this process might look like.

    Breath in. What is the next step? We close our throat enclosing the air

    This might mean that we need some kind of vessel to contain our breath.

    Possible examples of vessels : Amulets & talismans

    By writing down hieroglyphs we create a vessel for our thoughts. Reading these glyphs causes these thoughtsto appear in Yesod[Micro].

    O thoth I am your pallette,I have brought you your ink jar

    breathing in > dipping the pen in the ink-jar

    holding breath > writing glyphs

    breathing out > view your glyphs

    holding > recite
