quick access to the Flame without following long ritual procedures. Thus the Apprentice develops
a quality known as Suddenness and accumulates personal Power.
THE DIARIES
In addition to the General Diary for the Events in the Esoteric School and its lessons and
assignments, and in addition to those described in the previous two volumes (the Diary of
Flawlessness and the Diary of Strategies), the Apprentice maintains two more diaries - the Magic
Diary and the Diary of Dreams. Each of the Diaries helps strengthen the Six Fundamentals. Every
day, write down your observations during the day, for everything already mentioned, and write
down your dreams - they are your real intimate life, which is only for you.
DREAMS
In this chapter, we are talking about regular dreams, not Conscious Dreaming. Conscious
Dreaming is discussed in another book. In other words, we will not look at how the Magician acts
consciously in the dream, but we will pay attention to the dreams in which he is just a receiver of
individual Energy signals. As soon as you wake up, write down your dreams. In the beginning,
you will not remember much, but with practice, you will remember more and more of the
experience. Important exercises for an Apprentice are:
To begin to orient himself in his dream - in other words, to have an idea of where it is north, where
it is south, where it is east and where it is west; It doesn't matter if the places we dream are known
or not. For unfamiliar places, we dream of for the first time, we can orient ourselves by a number
of factors, such as the sun or simply by an inner sense of direction. It appears as an inner conviction
- you just know that in your dream you come walking from the east and go the west.
To remember whether we pass from one "place" to another suddenly or through a smooth
transition;
How many people and other "living" Objects are around the dreamer.
Which of these Objects are alone and which are in a group.
How they are located in space relative to the dreamer - in front of us, behind us, left or right. Are
they static (standing still) or movable? If mobile - whether they move away from us or approach
us. Whether they noticed us or not. Did we notice them first or did they? If an Object is in front of
us, do we look at each other in the eyes Do we recognize those living Objects or they are
unfamiliar?
In dreams, time flows in a very special way - the actual past, present, and future are merged into
one. That is why the "space" in the dream is the starting point for orientation. When an Apprentice
records a single dream, it leads to nothing. As the recorded dreams become more, he will begin to
see recurring elements and motifs. After analysis, the Apprentice will find that many moments of
his dreams correspond and coincide with events that happened to him in the waking state about a
few days ago. Also very often some dreams projects in Actuality (awake state) within the next few
days. Under "dream projection", we rarely talk about a literal reproduction of the picture, but rather
a symbolic interpretation of the dream. People without intuition, who are waiting for scientific
