Mystical Pentagram
                                  Brightstarr, Kathexis 
           
                The Mystical Pentagram is a technique which will enhance psychic
          self- awareness. Practiced on a daily basis it will produce surprising
          individual  results. One of the features of  this technique is that it
          encourages personal development by allowing each entity to  discover a
          personal mantra which corresponds to the five elements. 

                    To begin,you will needa table ofcorrespondences such as"777"
          by Aleister Crowley. Look up the names of the gods and goddesses which
          correspond to the air element. Pick  a name which when chanted 'feels'
          right for you.  For example, Nu is the Egyptian  lord of the firmament
          and corresponds to air. If I were inclined towards egyptian deities, I
          would  chant  the  name Nu  for  several minutes  to  see  what effect
          transpired.  If I felt relaxed, comfortable,  and generally positive I
          would inwardly  know that this  name would  be in tune  with my  inner
          self. Proceed to find correspondences for fire, water, and earth in 
          the same  manner and finally for  spirit since it is  the aggregate of
          the four common elements. 

                    Once you have found a personalmantra or a chant consistingof
          five  names, vowel  sounds, etc.  You are  ready to  proceed with  the
          practical application of the Mystical Pentagram. 

                    Assume your favorite meditation position, relax and begin to
          breathe in a rhythmic pattern; ie. inhale count one, two, three, four,
          exhale count one,  two, three, four and so on.  Continue to breathe in
          such a  manner for about  five minutes  so that a  definite rhythm  is
          firmly established. 

                    Visualize thefive psychiccenters. Memorize theirpositions so
          that you become familiar with the positions. 

                    Nextvisualize a brilliant white light forming a circle above
          your head in the spirit center. Mentally draw a  white light pentagram
          within the circle of light. This should be an invoking pentagram. 

                    If your mind shouldbegin to wander, gently bring it back and
          vocally vibrate the mantra you have  chosen for the spirit center. Let
          your  mind dwell on  this center and intone  your mantra several times
          for at least five minutes.

                    Next seea shaft of whitelight radiate down throughyour skull
          stopping at your throat near  the adam's apple. See a circle  of white
          light  begin to form and pulsate.  Mentally draw an invoking pentagram
          within the circle of light and vocally vibrate your chosen mantra  for
          the air  center. Continue to stimulate  this center for  at least five
          minutes. 
                    Now see ashaft of white light radiate downthrough your torso
          stopping  at your fire  center. This is located  just above the navel.
          See  a brilliant white light begin to  pulsate at this center and draw
          an  invoking pentagram within the circle of light. As your mind begins
          to  wander  gently guide  it back  to he  image  of the  glowing white
          pentagram.  Here vibrate your chosen fire  mantra. Once this center is
          stimulated the sensation is unmistakable. A mild tingling or vibration
          of the solar-plexus area is  physically experienced. Continue to dwell
          on this center for at least five minutes. 

                    See theshaft of whitelight pushdown tot thewater centerwhich
          is  located in the groin area. Here,  too, a brilliant circle of white
          light should  be visualized. Again  draw an invoking  pentagram within
          the circle of light. Intone the mantra for the water center and repeat
          the sound several times for the next five minutes. 

                    Having arrived thusfar, see the shaft of white light radiate
          down through  your legs stopping at  the bottom of your  feet which is
          the  earth center. Form a brilliant,  white, pulsating circle of light
          and draw an  invoking pentagram within the  circle. Intone your  earth
          mantra and  vocally vibrate the  sound several  times during the  next
          five minutes. 

                    When all ofthe energy centers havebeen stimulated, directthe
          light energy from the spirit center to the earth center. As you exhale
          see the light travel  from the top of your head down through your body
          to the bottom of your feet.  As you inhale see the energy  travel from
          your feet up  through your body up to the top of your head, the spirit
          center.  These circulations  should be  persisted  for at  least seven
          complete  circuits. See the energy cleanse  and vitalize every part of
          your  being and expand your awareness  to cosmic consciousness. As you
          continue to repeat this technique  each day you will begin to  see and
          feel a change in  your psychic awareness and  a marked improvement  in
          your health.

                    Don't  become  discouraged  if  you  don't  achieve  results
          immediately. This  technique produces  very positive effects  but they
          are  cumulative in nature. Be gentle  with your inner self however you
          must also be persistent and keep  the communication open. It is also a
          good idea to perform this exercise at the same time each day  in order
          to allow your  body cycles  incorporate the energy  flow in a  natural
          order.
