   The Mystical Mentagram is a technique which will enhance psychic self-
awareness. Practiced on a daily basis it will produce surprizing 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 need a table of correspondences 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 dieties, 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 personal mantra or a chant consisting of 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 the five psychic centers. Memorize their positions so that you
become familiar with the positions.
     Next visualize 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 should begin 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 see a shaft of white light radiate down through your 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 a shaft of white light radiate down through 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 the shaft of white light push down tot the water center which 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 thus far, 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 of the energy centers have been stimulated, direct the 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 cummulative 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 peform this exercise at the
same time each day in order to allow your body cycles incorporate the energy
flow in a natural order.
