Jupiter Caelus
I refer here to a couple of questions on the additional material added to Israel Regardie's 'A Garden of Pomegranates' by Chic and Sandra Cicero. Specifically the section of guided visualizations of the Sephiroth and the Paths.
- Are they purely anecdotal visualizations of gauging the energy of any given section of the ToL?
- Have you found they offer a tangible result of rising your own position on the ToL?
I'm not wanting to sound to naïve here, but the phrasing may render that hope obsolete.
Essentially, I can't get my head around the theoretical status of attaining, for example, the Sephiroth of Yesod versus the actual experience of doing so. The problem there may arise from me viewing the ToL as a mechanical platform consisting of various levels to 'unlock'. Using such rigid terms seems incorrect, but then again, using the Tree in this manner - it is meant to be a map of progression, right?
