clairvoyance. Through this training, the adepts of the
various schools educate their students through a new
method called “impression”. In this method a disciple can
be trained during his sleeping hours. He is made to
remember many details of the various subjects without
losing the synthetic view. This is done with better
efficiency in the state of sleep than in the awakened state.
This is the significance of the statement that the sign Pisces
governs ‘photography’.
The glyph of this sign is called the seal of Indra.
Meditating upon this glyph gives the location of the
birthplace of Indra described previously. The glyph
represents the two fishes running in opposite directions,
linked up by a horizontal line. This line is the symbol of the
Higher Bridge. After the construction of the Higher Bridge,
the glyph changes its shape. The two fishes come together
in “head to tail - tail to head - heart to heart” position. The
two fishes rotate in opposite directions and meet each other
to form a circle. The horizontal line turns vertical and the
whole figure becomes a circle with a vertical diameter. Again
the cosmic meridian is reached. The candidate thus fills the
gap between Pisces and Aries, himself acting as the equinox.
Equipoise in man represents equinox in the year and the
“high twelve” or meridian in the day. Just as the equinox
represents the balance between night and day, equipoise or
yoga state represents the equalized state of all inequalities in
the impulses and expressions of man. “Yoga is equipoise”
says Lord Krishna. When equipoise is gained, the
consciousness of man recedes into the background of a
higher consciousness which is soul-consciousness. At this
stage, the glyph appears as a line without touching the circle
around it. This is a very useful ‘tool’ for building or creation,
as every freemason of the higher degrees knows it.
