Ophiel continues in his book, Talismanic Magic, chapter, Recapitulation, a little farther on, with this:

“Now to resume the Talisman idea, in connection with the double-ness of all things in your daily life/living: You, then, are surrounded on all sides by “Things,” material things which are the outer, “hard,” exhibitions of Inner Realities. Only the thought – the basic thoughts of things, the archetypal patterns, are REAL, the outer Physical Plane exhibition of those archetypal thoughts are the RESULTANT and are not the “Real.” This type of reverse thinking is what will help release you from the thrall of matter.” End quote. 

The yellow-highlight, in the above Ophiel quote, is what the egg/chair exercises are ‘all about this.’ As you, the reader ‘doer/practitioner of,’ the basic cosmic egg and/or chair exercises continue to practice, the ‘idea’ of the/your #0, outer, outer physically physical body = ONLY USING!? = IS BECOMES, MORE AND MORE DEFINED/REFINED!?! 

Please read this part again, from Ophiel: ‘the outer Physical Plane exhibition of those archetypal thoughts are the RESULTANT and are not the “Real.”’

As you do/practice your egg/chair, you are doing this: This type of reverse thinking is what will help release you from the thrall of matter.’

Thrall = Late Old English ‘prael = bondman, serf, slave’ from Proto-Germanic ‘thrakhilaz = runner,’ from the root ‘threh = to run’. The ‘idea’ of ‘condition of servitude’ comes from the early 14th century.

As you, the reader/practitioner of the/your basic egg/chair exercises, you have already taken the ‘first step,’ in your ‘realisation’ of how close/near your two bodies #0 &+ #1 are! Ophiel then writes a little farther on: 

‘So, this then is the picture you should now have of yourself and your environment in this sense that we are discussing it here. Take for example, your home. There in your home you are, surrounded by a mass assemblage of material things/objects. You now know that these objects are “outward” exoteric, externalizations of “inward” esoteric idea images/feelings. It is possible for you to turn to any one of these external objects and, by invoking “It,” carry yourself back to the beginning of all things physical. Conversely, it is also true that you can start with basic archetypal images/concepts, and create/direct them “down” into your environment, your Sphere of Availability. (See Ophiel’s second book, The Art and Practice of Getting Material Things through Creative Visualization) Now you should have some good clear ideas as to why, Talismans, work, and also why Creative Visualization can work.’ End quote.

The ‘yellow-highlight’ in the above Ophiel quote, is what you ‘do/practice,’ in your basic cosmic egg exercise!! As you ‘stand,’ with your five basic Element Forces Symbols, within you, about you and surrounding you, in psychic-tactile-sense-ation, you are invoking (in-voice-ing,) the/these forces, in/on the/your #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane, wherein your #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Body, now has psychic-tactile-sense-ation, feeling, of/for them!?! Just as ‘real’ as the/your #0, Outer, Outer Physically Physical Body = IS!? ‘REAL’ TO YOU NOW = CONSCIOUS-NESS!? Ophiel, then writes: 

“As you know, there are many people/persons/organizations purporting to teach the Occult, now in existence – some new, some old. Ophiel has contacted many of the persons and groups in due course of passing times, and he has evolved a quick test question which he propounds to the people and Ophiel can make a fair approximation of their Occult standing by the nature of their answers, coupled with the manner in which the question is answered. (Now don’t take this too seriously. I use it only on suspected persons when I do not detect any outward sign of anything on the Occult “ball.”) The question I ask them is: “In regard to your Teachings (or the Teachings of your group, etc.) if I follow/master the Teachings, can I get Sex, Power and Money through the application of the Teachings?” Now, I will explain part of the question, and tie it in with this book on the principles of Talismans. Basically, sex is polarity but not all polarity is sex. In simple words, there is you, and what surrounds you, your Sphere of Availability. Also, let us this time, call it your Sphere of Sensory Impaction. This Sphere of Sensory Impaction which surrounds you EITHER STIMULATES YOU, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, UP OR DOWN, OR YOU STIMULATE IT. 
This stimulation, is the measure of your success, in this Physical Life. Either you take hold and make your Sphere of Sensory Impaction your charged Talisman or the incoming Sensory Impaction will control you – will charge you – and will make you, their Talisman. This is what I mean when I say “Sex.” I mean Sex in its higher sense and not in its lower sense, and if the person I am asking the question of is advanced, he will sense my true meaning and answer accordingly. So much for that; and YOU figure out the higher meanings of Power and Money.” End quote.

So, we take what has been ‘suggested’ and we ‘apply it’ to what Ophiel writes in his above quote: ‘Basically, sex is polarity but not all polarity is sex. In simple words, there is you, and what surrounds you, your Sphere of Availability. Also let us this time call it your Sphere of Sensory Impaction. This Sphere of Sensory Impaction which surrounds you EITHER STIMULATES YOU, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, UP OR DOWN, OR YOU STIMULATE IT.’

Sphere of Sensory Impaction = Magic Mirror/Cosmic Egg.
Stimulate = up = Assume.
Stimulate = down = Polarity.
Duality = all, in/on the same/one plane/level = Conscious-ness = use/using.

Now, please note this from Ophiel carefully: When Ophiel writes ‘Power,’ he means ‘control of self.’ (As all his books, vignettes, and courses, amply prove.) 

‘This stimulation is the measure of your success in this Physical Life. Either you take hold and make your Sphere of Sensory Impaction your charged Talisman or the incoming Sensory Impaction will control you – will charge you – and will make you, their Talisman.’

This ‘control,’ is managed, through/by/with, pre-thinking, pre-planning, pre-rehearsing, pre-pairing, educating and repeating, until a skill, technique or art form, is mastered, through understanding, knowledge and personal, individual, experience, (A Gnosis), this requires a goal/aim/direction/purpose and drive.

Now, please note this, from Ophiel carefully: When Ophiel writes; Money, he means ‘provide a service for others,’ for which you can then ‘charge,’ them, for that/this/your = service provision, at the highest price they are will to pay you, for it. The above, is one of the reasons for the; Letter of Augustine of Hippo, (post/message #1 of 17, of this series,) being sent in 2003, to this particular Ophiel Magic Group. So that they could/can, agree with, the/their Adversary/Opposer/Slanderer: thus creating/making, a binding. Ophiel continues, farther on: 

“So now back to the Talisman idea/principles. In this chapter, I have presented the heretofore Occult secret, (Solomon never spilled a word about it and neither did Barrett) one of those big Occult Secrets you hear so much about. Well, there it is: YOUR ENVIRONMENT/SURROUNDINGS – YOUR SPHERE OF SENSORY IMPACTION – IS ONE GIGANTIC TALISMAN and how you treat/handle/charge it is the measure of your success in living your Physical Life. You must generate, draw and pass through your body a great amount of Force (Astral Light/Power) so that you CHARGE your surroundings, “magnetize your surroundings,” to use the older word, your “Sphere of Impaction,” to use the new word, so that your surroundings become saturated (re-visualise the Astral Light as “Water” as taught previously) with Prana coloured by your body personality. You do not create any Prana. Prana is another useful name for the four Elemental Forces and the four together collectively create the fifth called Akasha and all of these Elemental Forces together combined, are called Prana.” End quote. 

As you can see/read above, in the Ophiel quote, those who have taken the time/trouble to try, test and use, the/their basic cosmic egg, in the prescribed manner/method/way, are slightly ahead of those who have not. There is ‘no guarantee’ that the egg/chair exercises are for you, at this time in your Occult Life, but… if you don’t try, you will never know!? Even in/on this particular, Ophiel Magic Group, there is/are many members who, whilst believing in Ophiel and his writings, still cannot, do not, are not, yet able, to get his materials to work/operate, for them: this is/has nothing to do with, Ophiel’s materials, and more to, do with, the/their #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane/Body. 
It is to repair this break/gap, between the bodies #0 &+ #1 &+ #3, that the basic cosmic egg/chair exercises where/are presented, in order that a bridge, could be built/, between the bodies #0 &+ #1 through, with, by = psychic-tactile-feeling sense-ation. Here is it again, from Ophiel. 

‘So now back to the Talisman idea/principles. In this chapter, I have presented the heretofore Occult secret, (Solomon never spilled a word about it and neither did Barrett) one of those big Occult Secrets you hear so much about. Well, there it is: YOUR ENVIRONMENT/SURROUNDINGS – YOUR SPHERE OF SENSORY IMPACTION – IS ONE GIGANTIC TALISMAN and how you treat/handle/charge it is the measure of your success in living your Physical Life.’

Now! At this moment in time, your #0 &+ #3 bodies, are so locked-in, to the/your #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades  Plane/Body; that any benefits, that you/which you, #0, can derive from, the/your #1, is lost!?! THE ‘IDEA’ THAT THE/YOUR #0, OUTER, OUTER PHYSICALLY PHYSICAL BODY IS A ‘PROJECTION OF’ = THE/YOUR #1, MALKUTH EARTH/HADES BODY = AND NOT!? THE/YOUR #2, ETHERIC BODY = IS OCCULT HERESY (Heresy = deviation, unorthodoxy, sacrilege, profane, heretical doctrine!) And yet!?! We can read it from Ophiel himself, from his Correspondence Course in Astral Projection, his lesson #12:

“The last system is the Symbol Method System. Again, this system has a tremendous potential, as I said about the others, but in a different way/manner. (Each of these systems has their own uses in their own way, and each has its own limitations too.) I want again to call your attention to the apparent fact that every material ‘thing’ of the Physical Plane is a Symbol, in that ‘it’ stands in place of a, some-thing else, which something else, is Inner Plane Forces/Ideas. I don't want to sound like an, “Occult faker,” and be telling you all these things and no more directions, but all I can give you is the basic knowledge and you must learn to take it from there on. That is all any teacher can do, and certainly a hell of a lot more than any others give/do.
I also want to call your attention, in line with the above statement, to the fact that we ourselves are also Symbols!! Because our physical being, is a representation of something ‘other,’ – which, ‘other,’ is on the Inner Planes!!! I hope you read over the above again and again, until you understand it fully. There is a very potent/pregnant suggestion, in the above idea and you should be able to cash in on it, to your benefit, if you follow the idea up fully!!” End quote. 

Please not carefully: (Each of these systems has their own uses in their own way, and each has its own limitations too.) 

This is because each plane has its own Laws, Rules, and Governances for which each of us ‘projectors?’ must obey, in order to get ‘full use,’ from each of the planes to which we ‘project to.’  Then this: 

‘I want again to call your attention to the apparent fact that every material ‘thing’ of the Physical Plane is a Symbol, in that ‘it’ stands in place of a, some-thing else, which something else is Inner Plane Forces/Ideas. I don't want to sound like an, “Occult faker” and be telling you all these things and no more directions, but all I can give you is the basic knowledge and you must learn to take it from there on. That is all any teacher can do and certainly a hell of a lot more than any others give/do.’ 

Every ‘material thing’ of the Physical Plane is Symbol!?! WELL, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!? UNDERSTAND IT OR NOT!? ACCEPT OR REJECT IT, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO WHAT IS!?! AND WHAT ‘IS!’ A FACT! IS! THAT THERE IS ‘ONLY’ ONE PLANE, THAT ‘HAS SYMBOLS FOR’ THE/THIS/YOUR #0, OUTER, OUTER PHYSICALLY PHYSICAL PLANE = AND THAT ‘IS,’ THE/OUR/YOUR = #1, MALKUTH EARTH/HADES PLANE!? 

EVERY ‘THING,’ IN/ON THE/OUR/YOUR #0, OUTER, OUTER PHYSICALLY PHYSICAL ‘EARTH,’ IS! A ‘PROJECTION OF’ = THE/OUR/YOUR #1, MALKUTH EARTH/HADES PLANE!? Please read this part again: 

‘I don't want to sound like an, “Occult faker” and be telling you all these things and no more directions, but all I can give you is the basic knowledge and you must learn to take it from there on. That is all any teacher can do and certainly a hell of a lot more than any others give/do.’ 

The ‘basic knowledge’ is in/on the/your tree/map, it is at the ‘bottom,’ of the tree/map and it is referred to as: The ‘Sphere’ of Malkuth Earth/Hades. The present writer has their own ‘tree/map’ in which the ‘last circle’ is replaced with a ‘square!’ This ‘square’ is the flat two-dimensional ex-press-on of the three-dimensional Cube, of the Element Force/Plane, of the Element of, Element Earth. If you ‘draw’ a tree/map of this description and simply physically, physically look at it, you should be in a position now, where you should be able to ‘receive?’ a ‘psychic buzz?’ simply from seeing this ex-press-on = Nine circle above, end-ing/extend-ing, from a Cube, flat square. Here is what Ophiel next writes in his Talismanic Magic quote, above: 

‘You must generate, draw, and pass through your body a great amount of Force (Astral Light/Power) so that you CHARGE, your surroundings, “magnetize your surroundings,” to use the older word, your “Sphere of Impaction,” to use the new word, so that your surroundings, become saturated (re-visualise the Astral Light as “Water” as taught previously) with Prana, coloured by your body personality.’

Unfortunately, there is no elemental water, in/on the element plane, of the element force, of the element of, the Element Earth!? There is only, Element Earth, that looks like, works like, operates like, behaves like and feels-like = Elemental Water! But…it is still, all Element Earth!? 

SO! THE ELEMENT EARTH PART THAT ‘FEELS-LIKE’ ELEMENTAL WATER IS, THE/YOUR = PSYCHIC-TACTILE-FEELING!? AND IT IS PSYCHIC-TACTILE-FEELING THAT DEFINES = THE/YOUR/OUR = THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT, CIRCUMSTANCE, THING AND/OR IT!?! 

 PSYCHIC-TACTILE-FEELING ‘USES’, THE PRINCIPLE OF, ELEMENTAL WATER = IN/ON ITS ‘OWN’ PLANE = ELEMENT EARTH/HADES! SYMBOL-ISED, BY/WITH A BOWL ‘INSIDE’ A CUBE!? = WATER-of-EARTH = REPEATED PSYCHIC-TACTILE-FEELING = IS, REFLECTING = REFLECTS = THE/YOUR DEFINING, THREE-DIMENSIONALITY IN/ON ITS ‘OWN’ PLANE!?!

The above Psychic-Tactile-Feeling, is one, of the ways, to charge/magnetise your surroundings, in/on the/your #0, outer, outer physically physical plane. Another way/method, is to; agree with, the/your Adversary/Opposer or Slanderer.

Thank you.

PS. Try this: 

Element Water = Reflection/Repetition/Reverse. 
Element Earth = Definition/Three-Dimension/Symbol.
Elemental Water-of-Element-Earth = Repeatedly, Reflecting = Psychically-Touching/Feel-ing, define-ing, three-dimensional-ise-ing, symbol-ise-ing, exercise-ing = Basic Cosmic Egg/Chair exercises = work-ing-off-of/from #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane!?
