We turn to Ophiel’s chapter: A Magic Mirror and Clairvoyance, from his same book, Clairvoyance and we read this:

I will start this way. You and all others, and all things, animate and inanimate, are surrounded by an Aura. This Aura is shaped rather like an egg, with the small end at the bottom. These Auras are not usually visible to physical sight except under particular and peculiar situations and circumstances, none of which can be gone into here. For the following material you will have to visualise, in your imagination, this Aura extending out from you, for about three feet and surrounding you completely in the shape previously described.” End quote.

As you practice more, you will/shall sense/feel (psychically-tactilely,) that the/this/your, aura = egg, is/has become larger, bigger!?! Also, as you define its edge, within you, about you and surrounding you, your personal space? will/shall become more tangible, to others. Your outer physical body is a projection, of the/your #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Body! And this #1, body is your silent partner! Another name for the Magic Mirror, of the universe, is the sphere of sensation = Psychic-Tactile-Feel-ing, Defining, Three-Dimensional-ise-ing = Symbol-ise-ing!

This, ‘sphere of sensation,’ is ‘influenced?’ by/with the density? of the/your #0, outer physically physical body conscious-ness? (Not so much, your #3, ego body conscious-ness, which takes/gets? all the credit?) the connection, bridge, sticky-threads are between the #1 and #0, body conscious-ness. Ophiel continues with this: 

“You will have to imagine the inner edge-surface of this egg, shaped Aura as HARD, AND LIKE THE SURFACE OF A MIRROR – REFLECTING ON ITS INNER SURFACE THE IMPACT-EFFECT OF THE FORCES – VIBRATIONS IMPINGING UPON THE SURFACE OF YOUR MAGIC MIRROR FROM WITHOUT – FROM THE OUTER REACHES OF THE UNIVERSE, BOTH PHYSICAL OUTER AND INNER PLANE INNER, AND THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT ALL, THE WORLD, THE UNIVERSE AND ALL.” End quote. 

The above, is perfectly ‘true’, what we are all ‘looking/searching for?’ is not only, understanding, but also = application/applications, that are going assist/help/aid us (Ophiel students,) in the real time! (Our life/living time), so, in the basic cosmic egg/chair exercises, we start/begin with, the/our #1, malkuth earth/hades plane/-psychic-tactile-feeling-sensation-defining-three-dimensional body. The/our, #0, outer physically physical body = IS NOT! OUR #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades body! Our #0, outer physically physical body, is a projection of, the/our #1, malkuth earth/hades psychic-tactile-feeling-body!? Ophiel next writes: 

“Now naturally you are going to ask at this point, if this gigantic conception is true, what is the mechanism in and on the surface of my Magic Mirror which does this conversion – converts the raw vibrations into sight, sound, feel, smell, tasting, so that I may perceive it? And the answer is – The surface of the Magic Mirror is composed of your Magical Powers of your personal Elemental Forces existence and what is beyond that, I do not know and neither does anyone else.” End quote. 

One of the modern way’s, to look at this, is in a nested loop, the worthy ancients called/named it ‘re-incarnation,’ and Ophiel referred to it a ‘cycles,’ where each loop/round/cycle, slowly ‘purified?’ its self, over time? (See/read Ophiel’s vignette: The Thread) But…not the personality body, constructed body, #3, ego body, that ‘feels nothing’ and can only ‘observe’ and is only relevant!? to the/its, #0, real-time!? Ophiel continues: 

“And the answer is – The surface of the Magic Mirror is composed of your Magical Powers of your personal Elemental Forces existence and what is beyond that, I do not know and neither does anyone else. Did you ever imagine that you possessed Magical Forces like this? Well, you do, and many more, and many more applications of them. AND ALL THESE INNER PLANE POWERS AND INNER PLANES CAN BE EXPLORED AND STUDIED AND WORKED THROUGH THE APPLIED ARTS OF CLAIRVOYANCE SUCH AS ARE GIVEN IN MY OTHER BOOKS AND THIS ONE.” End quote. 

It is ‘in’ the application, that many students find it ‘difficult’, to apply!?! As they do not ‘have’ anything in their ‘past’ that they can ‘use’ as a ‘resource’ to further their life/living!?! Ophiel next writes: 
“There is actually no real reason why anyone, any man or woman on this earth should suffer in any way, shape or form, as all things in Physical Plane existence is no-thing but the play of Inner Plane Forces on your Magical Mirror of sensation or sum total of your senses (also called quintessence.)” End quote.

The closest, of the/these Forces, which is inner, is the Element/Force, of the Element Of, Elemental Earth, expressed as, psychic-tactile-feel-ing-sense-ation. In ancient speak, this Elemental Earth was/is the/your; Father who art in heaven!? In the present, present presentation, this ‘Sphere-of-Sensation,’ Ophiel’s ‘Sphere-of-Availability,’ (See/read Ophiel’s book, Creative Visualisation) is presented as, the basic cosmic egg exercise!?

One of the way’s, to work/operate the laws, rules, governances of the/this #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane is to AGREE-WITH, what IT IS? that you, #0 &+ #3, have put/placed there, in/on its SURFACE? Thus, you have a binding agreement!? Here now is another technique, that you could try/test/use: THE SURFACE OF, THE/YOUR MAGIC MIRROR = IS THE ‘CONSCIOUS-NESS OF’ THE/YOUR #1, MALKUTH EARTH/HADES BODY!? But…ah yes! You knew it was coming! The great ‘but…’ of magic! But…here is what Ophiel writes next:

“Now, of course, it is not quite as simple as the above would seem to indicate. There is a ‘Thing’ which Christian Scientists call ‘a belief’ (be – to be-LIVE) (be-living-in what you believe-be-live) (to live as you BE) (your conception of yourself – con-with + ception-born) and ‘believe me’ this belief-conception can be and is very, very Powerful! And is very hard to change because it is rooted in the Elemental Force of Earth: (Review the qualities of Elemental Earth as given in this book and other of my books.) As you know, I wrote a book which I hope you got, read, and applied, called, THE ART AND PRACTICE OF GETTING MATERIAL THINGS THROUGH CREATIVE VISUALISATION, and this book contains in some useful detail, methods of changing the/your material world, or just bettering yourself Physically, Physical Plane wise. All this shades into clairvoyance in one way or another.” End quote.  

In the basic cosmic egg exercise and in the letter of Augustus of Hippo, are some of the laws, rules, and governances of, the/this/your #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane = WHERE THE/YOUR MAGIC-MIRROR = EXISTS!? BUT…YOU = CONSCIOUS-NESS = CAN’T SEE/OBSERVE WHAT IS REFLECTED!?! IN/ON THE/THIS MAGIC-MIRROR = BECAUSE THE ASTRAL LIGHT IS ‘BLACK!?’ = BLACK-ON-BLACK!! = INVISIBLE, SECRET, HIDDEN, UNSEEN, SILENT = BUT… PSYCHICALLY-TACTILELY-FELT-SENSED!?! DEFINED IN THREE-DIMENSIONS!? 

Remember/recall what Franz Bardon (Initiation into Hermetics) said/wrote: when you ‘do’ this kind/type of thing (Agree-ing) YOU REMOVE ‘TIME’ FROM THE/YOUR ADVERSARY/OPPOSER!? THUS, ‘IT’ – YOUR ADVERSARY/OPPOSER BELIEVES THAT IT, POSSESSES YOUR OBJECT, CIRCUMSTANCE, THING ALREADY!? AND IT WILL NOT/SHALL NOT, PUT/PLACE OBSTACLES, IN/ON YOUR PATH!? (Read familiar!?) 

It is all very well, for all these skilled/informed/experienced people/persons, to say/suggest, these things, but until and unless, you, the reader, can get/obtain personal/individual ‘experience of’ ‘IT’ the/your = #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane/Body, it is only information? A way, must be found, discovered, developed and/or mastered, before anything can actually, factually, literally, take place/happen!? Here is what Ophiel writes next:

“You therefore are, in a definite sense, the creator of your own world inside your own Magic Mirror. At least you RECEIVE THE OUT PRESSING IMPRESSIONS THAT COME FROM OUT BEYOND YOUR CIRCLE AND TRANSLATE THEM INTO TERMS OF YOUR DAILY, HOURLY, MINUTE BY MINUTE PHYSICAL PLANE EXISTENCE. Or it could also be said that your life inside your Magic Mirror Circle is allowed by your permission!!” End quote.

Read Ophiel’s quote above, very carefully, and apply it, to your own, basic cosmic egg. The basic cosmic egg, IS, the five basic Element Forces symbols, in three-dimensions, within you, about you and surrounding you. Egg, Sphere, Inverted Pyramid, Bowl, and Cube:
HERE NOW, FOLLOWS THE DIFFERENCE? BETWEEN THE BASIC COSMIC EGG EXERCISE AND OPHIEL’S ‘SYMBOL METHOD,’ OF PROJECTION, PLEASE STUDY IT CAREFULLY!? Here is what Ophiel writes next:

“You will recall that, in other books, I gave some directions under a heading called ‘The Symbol Method’ which I suggest you look up and read over again. In case you don’t know this method of projection, I will give a brief resume. (The Symbol Method of projection is very similar to clairvoyance and the two merge into each other many times in operations.)  In the Symbol Method (of projection) you take/select a Symbol, usually a coloured card, and look at it under a light intently, then look away at a plain white card. On the white card you should ‘see’ an image of the symbol in the complementary colour. Then, following the directions, you project into the symbol. This, basically, is the symbol projection method.” End quote. 

In the/your basic cosmic egg exercise, you are already IN/INSIDE! the symbol! The symbol, Is Already IN/INSIDE YOU!? Within you, about you, and surrounding you!? And, because of the type/kind/style of technique used = Psychic-Tactile-Feel-ing, Definition, And Three-Dimensionality, you are, ALREADY!? PROJECTING’ IN/ON THE/YOUR #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane = following ITS Laws, Rules, and Governances. Ophiel next writes.

“To digress here for a moment – those of you who saw Walt Disney’s production, Mary Poppins, will recall that she, the two children and dick Van Dyke ‘jumped’ into a picture drawn on a sidewalk, and hand an adventure therein. Well, I mean nothing like that, but this picture/play has a kernel of Truth in it, in that a projection into a symbol, is made not physically but in imagination, and results follow. (I had always intended to contact, Walt Disney and question him, about the Occult, in his pictures. There is more there, than meets the eye. He must have been an Occultist!) Now, you recall that I told you to regard the, sphere of your senses surrounding you, as a magic mirror, which pictured vibrations coming from the Cosmos, as the ‘pictures’ of everyday life manifesting to your conscious-ness and I trust you gave this concept some thought. You, we all, want to better ourselves and, in addition to using all physical means, we students of the Occult can use Occult means, not least of which is clairvoyance; and in this case we are using clairvoyance to explore the situation, ‘case the joint’ as it were. By situation I mean the physical situation we find ourselves in, in this physical world of which none of us are satisfied with, and all desire something better, so much better.” End quote.

When/if you ‘enter,’ the/your basic cosmic egg, through the/your daily practice of increasing/enhancing and developing your PSYCHIC-TACTILE-FEELING-BODY = #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane/Body, through the defining, in three-dimensions, the ‘edge’ of each of the five basic Element Forces, symbols, within you, about you and surrounding you, then the ‘yellow-highlight’ in the above Ophiel quote, should, take on a more, deeper meaning to/for you!? ESPECIALLY MORE SO AS, the ‘pictures,’ of everyday life, manifesting to your conscious-ness!? Occult for you: you live your life, according to the way, that the/your #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Body, Psychically-Tactilely-Feels = because, as Ophiel explains above, the/your #0, outer physical body is a ‘projection’ of it = #1 – Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane!? Ophiel next writes: 

“Now, the physical situation in which we find ourselves is MIRRORED-REFLECTED ON OUR OWN PRIVATE MAGIC MIRRORS THAT SURROUNDS US AS AFORE SAID. EVERY OBJECT, EVERY SITUATION, EVERY THING THAT WE CONTACT (OR CONTACTS US) (?) COMES TO US DURING THE COURSE OF OUR DAILY LIVING-LIFE AND IS MIRRORED ON THE SURFACE OF OUR MAGIC MIRROR. And again, I say, there is not much more to our Physical Life Living.”

Please study this next piece of ‘occult’: The/your/our Magic Mirror (The Akashic Egg) is a ‘constant,’ in/on ‘all’ the planes/levels!? (If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t/couldn’t, be conscious-of, the/these different, planes/levels!) End of occult. 

The Magic Mirror, in/on the/your #0, Outer, Outer Physically Physical World = reflects = use/using/used!

The Magic Mirror, in/on the/your #1, malkuth earth/hades world = reflects = psychic-tactile-feel-ing!

The Magic Mirror, in/on the/your #2, etheric plane world = reflects = attractions!?

The/these ‘attractions’ = ARE ‘COMING-UP’ FROM! FROM! THE/YOUR #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Body!? 

Hence why? your rituals, talismans, prayers, treasure charts/maps, desires, wants, needs and broodings fail!? The assumption is? That if you visualise = then you get? what you want?! But…the instruction is; when you ‘pray’ believe that you have ‘it’ already!? Well, the only, only! Body that can do, does do = believe-you-have-it-already = is the/your #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Body = for all this, is delivered unto me ‘and’ to whomsoever I will, I will give it? Also, Ophiel writes in his Correspondence Course in Astral Projection, lesson #8, this:

“On page 71 in the textbook, I mentioned some advanced instructions regarding your Body of Light in feeling. In the textbook, I spoke of advancing a hand, a Body of Light hand and touching a counterpart object. There is another method, a more advanced method, which you will find a valuable adjutant in your future occult work. In order to use this operation, there are a few things I will have to partly go over again concerning the qualities of the Physical Plane? Remember again that ‘Inner Plane’ work is not the same as ‘Outer Plane’ work, as you will learn in time/practice - remember what I told you about the newborn baby - well, you are like a newborn baby to these Inner Planes.
So instead of reaching out a ‘Hand’ and ‘Feeling’ an outer object - you make the outer object, ‘feel you’ by becoming you! Which is the exact part I left out of the textbook, although I came quite close to it: So instead of ‘you’ being influenced by the feel of an object - the object is influenced by your feel!!!!! Just the opposite from ‘real’ life!! Now in regard to ‘seeing’ on the Inner Planes by and through your Body of Light, I have, in the textbook and in these lessons, written as if you were seeing as on the Physical Plane. I didn't want to be too, advanced/confusing in the beginning textbook. Also, it is true that on the very lower Etheric, almost on the dividing line between Physical and Etheric, seeing is almost physically normal. However, the deeper you go on ‘up’ the planes, the more the Elementals Force of ‘Seeing,’ becomes like the Elemental Force hearing. YOU ‘SEE’ WHAT YOU WANT TO ‘SEE’ IT, THE WAY YOU WANT, TO ‘SEE’ IT. The above truism is the main reason for the lack of understanding of the world, the outer world, for Inner Plane work. Can you understand this idea?” End quote.

Please study carefully, the yellow-highlight, in the above Ophiel quote, as this is, ‘what you are doing,’ During the daily practice/doing of the/your basic cosmic egg/chair exercises!? The reason is, that you are ‘making’ the basic Elemental Forces, through your #0 &+ #1 ‘bodies’ = ‘feel you’ BY BECOMING YOU!? 

So, instead of the Egg, Sphere, Inverted Pyramid, Bowl, and Cube ‘influencing you,’ you #0 &+ #1 = are ‘influencing them!?’ 

All this, the above, is/are reflected, in/on the inside surface, of the/your Cosmic Egg, and, because you are psychically-tactilely-feeling through ‘definition’ the/their ‘edges’ in/on the/your #0 and #1 bodies, they = the forces = are now ‘influenced’ by/with ‘your-feel’!?! And, as already stated, all you need to ‘do’ is to ‘agree’ with them!?! THIS ‘AGREEING’ IS BEING DONE/ACHIEVED THOUGH/BY/WITH = YOUR PSYCHIC-TACTILE-FEEL-ING!?! ‘and’ you = #0, agreeing-with = you = #1!?! 

Please note carefully: the agreement is, must be/will be bind-ing = on both parties!? = #0 &+ #1 = your #0, outer, outer physically physical = actions, doings = must = agree-with = your #1, Malkuth-Earth/Hades = Psychic-Tactile-Feel-ing!?!
