Attention

Please regard that you take the responsibility for all exercises, experiments and advices you do or follow in this book. All warnings of spiritual teachers, especially by Franz Bardon, Indian Yogis and me should be taken serious. Spiritual training is an art and science and not something to play with or for curiosity. Spiritual development takes years, whole life times, many incarnations indeed. As you are an eternal being you have time enough to proceed step by step keeping the balance in all aspects.

I dedicate this book in deep love and thankfulness to the great master who incarnated as Franz Bardon.

May God bless him endlessly for his divine teachings!

Ray del Sole

Please know that there is one big secret:

Practice makes perfect!

(Nothing else!)

Please know that there is a second big secret:

Follow your divine intuition – always!

(The intellect is limited, intuition not.)

Introduction

Welcome, noble seeker on the path to spiritual perfection!

Probably you are an old soul with many incarnations dedicated to your spiritual development.

Probably you have reached already a good degree of spiritual refinement, of self-realization, of holiness.

And probably you have been already on a long peregrination through a diversity of spiritual studies in this life to proceed on your path.

Lately you have discovered Franz Bardon and his universal teachings for spiritual perfection.

You know that they represent the highest and complete knowledge which is available on earth.

And you know that it is your chosen path, - your heart´s desire to master all steps to real spiritual perfection. There is simply no alternative for you.

There is only one problem – the seemingly unmanageable high demand of the training program.

The question is now: How can this training program be accomplished?

This book has the aim to answer your question and to show you the way to full success.

I have been working with Bardon´s training system for more than 16 years. I know where problems, traps and obstacles lie and I also know the keys to master them.

About Bardon and spiritual perfection

Although there are several genuine masters who reached high degrees of spiritual refinement and enlightenment, who also wrote great books about their paths, - there is only one master who showed clearly the whole path with all stations, skills and virtues; also with all techniques for refinement. This master who incarnated to fulfill his holy mission to help mankind to free itself from the bonds of the material world, from darkness and pain is Franz Bardon. His system of development is universal and true for all people, all religions, all cultures and all times. It is reflected in the old esoteric teachings of the true spiritual traditions worldwide. An Indian counterpart can be found in the path of Maha Yoga and in general in techniques of the Raja Yogis. Franz Bardon´s books lead to spiritual perfection and his teachings give the keys to understand God, man and creation completely; you can understand all different kinds of religions, all different techniques, all philosophical ideas – everything. This is simply the truth. Everyone who follows his instructions can confirm this. Certainly it is not enough to study Bardon´s books as they present the core of the spiritual fruit but not the pulp. The pulp you find in the old Indian wisdom and in the different spiritual traditions. (Read my essays about these things for more details [Light on the path to spiritual perfection – Books I-VII].)

So indeed his books deal with the crown of spiritual knowledge, with the core of spiritual development, with real spiritual practice and with an honest spiritual attitude in dedication to the divine majesty. All limited, relative human things, vices are left behind. His books are dedicated to the unlimited and absolute, divine wisdom, love and power.

In our days the revelation of the Akasha Principle can be sensed everywhere. Old barriers which seemed to last for eternity are torn down. Secret spiritual knowledge which was protected for centuries by the menace of death is free available today. All old spiritual traditions open up to teach mature souls and to help mankind to master its next step in evolution.

Many people who reached a degree of holiness in former life times incarnated today to work on their further development.

So it is not only the time of great revelations but also the time where true seekers of light and wisdom are on their way to improve themselves to ultimate spiritual perfection.

What means ultimate spiritual perfection?

At last it means that you develop your unlimited, cosmic, divine nature completely in addition to your present limited human nature.

It means also to be completely initiated in all mysteries and sciences of God, man and creation.

Until you reach this high degree of spiritual development many steps of the ladder must be climbed. As a normal human being you start in the sleeper stage. When the sleeper awakes from dreaming his life he reaches a first enlightenment. This enlightenment – the first rays of the spiritual sun – is the impulse, the ignition for a deep transformation – spiritualization of his personality through clearing, healing and refinement of his soul.

Indeed you become really alive on all planes of your existence. With this activation step by step all higher abilities of your higher nature are activated too.

Later you get to know the whole creation, the whole cosmos with all beings. You become a real globetrotter – the cosmos will be your home.

Certainly you will get to know God in all his virtues. You will learn to embody his beauty, his glory and you will learn to create like God does.

For normal humans are these things hard to understand but indeed it is the foreseen evolution for us – to become one with the cosmos.

“As above, so below!”

Hermes Trismegistus

“Know yourself then you know the universe!”

The oracle of Delphi

So let me welcome you to the greatest adventure of your life!

In light, love and service,

The mental aspect of the preliminary practice

In respect to the laws of wisdom we differentiate the preparation analogue to the mental, astral and physical plane.

We start with the mental plane, the intellect, the understanding, the vision and the master plan.

Before something comes into creation its original idea must be concretized and worked on with the powers of mind and intellect – meditation. Then it is ready to cause situations on the astral plane which lead to physical action, realization.

So let´s start with meditation:

Bardon´s training system in general

It is necessary to understand the point that Bardon wrote his books according to the first three tarot cards. Number one deals with the magician, number two with the spheres and its spirits and number three deals with the cosmic language. The content of all three books is clearly defined by the referring tarot card. This means that details, explanations, techniques and information are strictly limited to the respective tarot card. So indeed not all information about topics and techniques is given but basics for understanding and training. This means that the three books of Bardon work to a good degree as overviews in analogy to the tarot cards which altogether build the universal book of wisdom. Bardon was allowed to reveal three sides of this book.

You can compare Bardon´s books respectively the tarot cards with guidebooks, with descriptions of the milestones you will meet on your journey. The spiritual development is in fact a journey, - a journey with a diversity of different possible paths but also with clear defined milestones, stations respectively virtues, powers, abilities and experiences you will gain.

Bardon presents milestone plans with a logical order based on universal laws which are valid for all humans independent from time, place, culture and religion.

Every seeker has an own individual degree of development including a certain amount of special talents, virtues, powers, abilities and experiences. So indeed every seekers has to compare his individual spiritual level with the milestone plans of Bardon´s three books. You will see what you have accomplished already on your path and what you have to catch up with. In this way you adjust yourself to the universal plan of human evolution and you follow the foreseen path to human and spiritual perfection.

This plan of human evolution and spiritual perfection is natural and comparable with the plan, the inner nature of e. g. a flower. The flower starts as a bulb in the earth like a human sleeper – both are dreaming. Then one day the bulb becomes alive and starts to grow through the surface of the earth. It is the first time that it receives the sunlight. So the human – something happens and this leads to first enlightenment – the first contact with the divine sunlight. In the next phase the small flower proceeds with growing. It develops stipes, leaves and later buds. The buds start blooming and new seeds are built. The flower has fulfilled its inner plan of evolution, its inner nature. This is the same for humans – the enlightenment is the beginning and then the real spiritual growth takes place.

In conclusion we have to cope with milestone plans and with only basic information about topics and techniques. As I like to say: Bardon´s books represent the core but not the pulp.

The pulp is additional literature which is necessary to understand Bardon´s teachings and his techniques better. I come back on this topic later.

The next thing is that his books are derived from practice for practice. It is a big mistake to think that Bardon presents relative, human theories or own concepts. Indeed there are terms, laws and instructions which have a universal, valid character as they arise from cosmic origins, from divine spirits, God. As Bardon is a true initiated master he reflects the universal standard, - not something traditional, human, relative and limited. Don´t make the mistake to mix up relative traditional teachings with cosmic universal teachings. This cannot work. These are two different standards.

As his books are derived from practice they are real, genuine and valid. It means also that they are dedicated to practice, to own practical experiences. So everyone who wants to understand Bardon and his teachings has to accomplish his training program, the milestones.

A normal intellectual study is not able to bless you neither with understanding nor with enlightenment or spiritual development.

Many people make the big mistake to do only intellectual studies which do not lead anywhere but to misunderstandings and illusions.

In conclusion Bardon´s work has to be studied practically – only this brings useful results. You can compare it with reading a book about martial arts or ballet. Reading is not enough to become a martial artist or a ballet dancer. It is also not enough for understanding what they doing and how it feels.

Because of the limitations to the content of each book by its tarot card you need to read all of his books for understanding as topics and techniques are spread over all books regarding the limitations of the tarot cards.

Regarding the limitations of the tarot cards to the content of the books it is necessary to read them all several times completely for a deep understanding of the matter. Bardon has spread information and hints about all

topics and techniques all over his books. For example you can find in his third book about the cosmic language a clear definition of the term concentration which is useful for the first exercises of his first book. So indeed it is wise to read all books one time completely to get an overview about his teachings and then several times more to get a deeper understanding – this always with a focus on your actual practical stage you are working on. I recommend that you collect all information which is spread over his books according to a topic respectively a technique in a script. Make this scientifically. This will be a big help. Every time you read his books you will discover new details, new hints and explanations which you have missed before. Together with your practical progress you will deepen your understanding more and more.

Task 1: Bardon´s Literature – the core

Get the whole literature of Bardon:

1. First tarot card = first book: “Initiation into Hermetics” by Franz Bardon

2. Second tarot card = second book: “The Practice of Magical Evocation” by Franz Bardon

3. Third tarot card = third book: “Key to the True Kabbalah” by Franz Bardon

4. Biography of Bardon + fragment of the fourth tarot card about wisdom: “Frabato the Magician” by Franz Bardon

5. Biographical addition of Bardon´s son and one of his students: “Memories of Franz Bardon” by Lumir Bardon

6. Collection of FAQ by students of Bardon + add-on for introspection: “Franz Bardon: Questions & Answers and The Great Arcanum” by Dieter Rueggeberg and Franca Gallo

Comments on the books:

1. Initiation into Hermetics (IIH)

It deals with the basic practical development from step 1 to step 10 including the basic theory. This means you start at point zero and you reach mastership and with this the ability to unite with your personal God-form. The step by step development includes all basic magical abilities and the mystical refinement process of the soul. Although this course is already a high science and art, it is indeed the basis for the higher practices of the second and third book. The main topic, sense here is the perfection of the microcosm, the human nature.

2. The Practice of Magical Evocation (PME)

In the first book you have gained mastership and spiritual authority. On this basis you are able to travel the whole creation, the macrocosm with its spheres, spirits and residents. The hierarchy of spirits manages the whole creation on all planes and so they provide the whole knowledge of everything. They are great teachers and provide their unlimited knowledge and assistance for true spiritual masters. The main topic is here to get to know the whole creation and the workshop of God with the spirits. In the sphere of the sun you will experience the impersonal macrocosmic God, - the ONE behind creation. This in contrast to the experience of the personal God-form of the first book. Now all doors are open to receive unlimited information and assistance for all missions.

3. Key to the True Kabbalah (KTQ)

(In older editions and in the German edition there is used “Quabbalah” instead of “Kabbalah”. I still use it in respect to Bardon. This as an explanation of the short form KTQ.)

This third book does not base on the second book; it deals with an independent topic, - the cosmic language, the language which has the power to create. Indeed this book provides the highest mystical training to incorporate all virtues and powers of God. The main topic here is to develop your macrocosmic nature to perfection in contrast to the first book. When you have mastered this training you have become a macrocosmic authority, the highest ambassador of God. You are also initiated in the creation of the spirits themselves as they are created through the cosmic language. Here Bardon reflects on his second book about the spirits.

4. Frabato the Magician

The biography in form of a novel helps to understand Master Bardon himself, magical practice and also creation, mankind, God, the work of the brothers of the light and the principle of darkness, - the evil down here on earth. Very interesting and very fascinating. It provides also hints for your own practice, widens your world view and gives you a better feeling for the whole topic – what I describe as the necessary pulp. In the appendix there is the fragment of “The golden book of wisdom” – a further tarot card. Although it is a fragment major hints about real wisdom are given. Real wisdom is something different to what is called philosophy today or the collection of information like scientists provide.

5. Memories of Franz Bardon

Bardon´s son and one student give hints for the path and some information about Bardon and his work.

6. Franz Bardon: Questions & Answers and The Great Arcanum

This book provides FAQ in a good scientific way. It is in main a collection of definitions. Dieter Rueggeberg enhanced it with a collection of characteristics for introspection made by Bardon students.

In conclusion I recommend the three training books of Bardon and the additional books here about him and his work.

Task 2: Additional spiritual literature – the pulp

Some words in general:

Today you can find books and web sites which seem to provide assistance and background information on Bardon´s work. The intention might be good but many things are hair-raising, simply wrong and based on misunderstandings, selfish attitudes and deficits in real training experiences. I must speak out a big warning! Don´t believe everything you find in the internet or in books! I can recommend only William Mistele with his web site.

Second: Today there are endless books and authors about all kinds of “spiritual” topics. Most of them are useless and do not provide stuff for the genuine seeker on Bardon´s path. Don´t get confused and don´t let yourself be trapped in strange pretensions.

In fact you need only very few books – good books – for a better understanding of Bardon and the spiritual development.

The steps of development Bardon describes in his first book have their matching part in India, in the path of Yoga, especially Raja Yoga. The balanced and perfect way for spiritual development is called Maha Yoga and it integrates the four main paths: Raja Yoga – fire element, Jnana Yoga – air element, Bhakti Yoga – water element and Karma Yoga – earth element. Already here you can see that Bardon´s training system and Maha Yoga are very close – apart from traditional and cultural aspects.

To enhance your knowledge, your training and understanding I recommend studying the teachings of Maha Yoga by Swami Vivekananda:

1. “Raja-Yoga” by Swami Vivekananda

2. “Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge” by Swami Vivekananda

3. “Karma-Yoga and Bhakti-Yoga” by Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda is a master of intellectual differentiation – a master of wisdom who gained divine felicitousness (ananda) through the power of differentiation (viveka). So everything he says is full wisdom and blessed with clarity.

Comments on the books:

1. Raja Yoga

Raja Yoga deals with concentration, meditation, with mastering the mind and the senses. It is close to the training of Bardon. Techniques and teachings of Raja Yoga are the basis for Bardon´s exercises. By understanding Raja Yoga you increase and enhance your understanding of Bardon´s system. Raja Yoga provides keys to manage the exercises of Bardon. I come back to this topic later. (Don´t get trapped here into the idea that you have to master Hatha Yoga first to be able to go on with meditation. Indeed you need only one asana as Bardon says.)

2. Jnana Yoga

Jnana Yoga trains your intellectual powers and abilities. This path leads to wisdom and real knowledge. A real spiritual seeker has to master this part of his personality to divine degrees (like all other parts of himself). So it is very wise to study this, to train your brain. At last you will gain a perfect understanding of God, humans and creation including all laws of wisdom.

3. Bhakti Yoga

This is the path of devotion and true love. It is very important to develop the qualities of humbleness, devotion and high spiritual all-embracing love to be able to receive the divine spirit, - the divine light and guidance. Without love there is no real progress possible. Bhakti Yoga provides wonderful experiences.

4. Karma Yoga

Karma Yoga is what every true spiritual person does each day of his life. It is the conscious service for God, mankind and creation. You serve and you know that it is good and right. We are all parts of a greater whole. Karma Yoga is the path of selfless service. It is a possibility to get rid of negative karma and to set good seeds for your spiritual development. All real masters are Karma Yogis.

In conclusion you can learn very much of the Indian Yoga paths but beware of strange, misunderstood and extreme exercises. Keep always the balance in your spiritual development, focus on Bardon´s exercises.

To lift your spiritual soul I recommend also the Upanishads and especially the Bhagavad Gita. They are full of spiritual wonders and beauties.

Beside these basics you can do deeper into the Indian esoteric teachings by studying the books of John Sir Woodroffe (Arthur Avalon) about Sakti and Sakta, the Tantra Sastra, the serpent power – Secrets of Tantric and Shaktic Yoga and so on. The teachings of Tantra and Shakti/Shakta are very close to Bardon´s teachings. Avalon has written really good books about these topics.

I would like to recommend also Buddhistic literature as the Buddhistic teachings provide a high spiritual attitude, especially concerning wisdom in life, ethics, compassion and natural happiness.

To understand the occult anatomy better, especially the work of the chakras and the nadis I recommend the books of Choa Kok Sui. His system of Pranic Healing is very good and scientific. If you can afford a first workshop of Pranic Healing you will get initiated into feeling energy and chakras. This is very interesting and a good start into this topic. It will be easier afterwards for you to make breathing exercises with vital energy just because you know what vital energy is.

Recommended books by Choa Kok Sui:

1. “Pranic Healing” by Choa Kok Sui

2. “Advanced Pranic Healing: A Practical Manual on Color Pranic Healing” by Choa Kok Sui

For later studies and higher steps of progress:

3. “Pranic Psychotherapy” by Choa Kok Sui

4. “Pranic Crystal Healing” by Choa Kok Sui

5. “Practical Psychic Self Defense for Home & Office” by Choa Kok Sui

6. ……. by Choa Kok Sui

If you think that it may help to read books about magic I must disappoint you – from 100% of books dealing with magic or magical development are 99% a waste of money – this is simply true. I want to explain this. What today is called “magic” is just a shadow from the real science and art which is described by Bardon. Most of the so called “magicians” have no spiritual attitude but selfish aims and they lack of real training and refinement of the soul. Sometimes you may meet an honest “magician” but then it is in most cases someone who does “traditional magic” which means to perform strange rituals, to wear strange cloths and to be happy with doing strange things. But with real magic this has not much to do. So indeed there is an abyss between what most people think of magic and what Bardon provides as a holy science and art, as a foreseen path of genuine spiritual development to reach unity with God. Beside this abyss there are often endless mistakes and misunderstandings in such books. When you have mastered a certain degree of Bardon´s system you can read this and more between the lines of books and websites. You will be able to see the imbalances, the bad characteristics and the deficits of the authors. So please don´t let yourself be trapped from “normal” magic.

When you have started your training I can recommend my books “Light on the path to spiritual perfection” which are a collection of all possible and important topics according to the practical training of Bardon.

If you are interested in Taoistic Alchemy then I can recommend you the books of Mantak Chia. But please beware of extreme exercises and please control the sense of exercises – not everything makes sense or is healthy. His books are not directly necessary for the path of Bardon but they are really interesting as they deal with alchemy and the occult anatomy.

Beside these recommendations it can be quite useful to study books about psychology by Vera Birkenbihl and others, also books about management techniques, project management, coaching and so on. These things will help you to master your life and your challenges in the best way, - also your spiritual training. Remember – spiritual mastership means also mastership in life.

Today there are a lot of books on the market like “the secret” and “laws of attraction” and “positive thinking” and “cosmic ordering” and so on. The big problem with these books is that they focus on half-truths in main and that they suggest that everything is possible and everything will realize just by ordering. Sadly this doesn´t work as in most cases several factors and laws are simply not regarded. You will understand this completely by studying the laws of realization described by Bardon. So indeed I cannot recommend such books. They are good to make the authors richer but only a little for inspiration on the path. Have in mind that Bardon provides a very high standard of teachings, training and results.

In conclusion you get along with a very small amount of books to enhance and ease your studies of Bardon.

Please consider that reading books costs time – your time. I know many people who read one book after another. By doing this they forget about the practical training and at last they might have read a lot but they haven´t made any real progress. So indeed it makes more sense to read only a few books but on a high level of quality than to read a lot of books which could be a waste of time and money.

I recommend for the beginning of your training to focus on Bardon´s books and on the books of Swami Vivekananda as they are the most important ones. At last all depends on your personal, individual situation, your level of spiritual experiences and your actual training program.

Follow – always – your higher intuition and the law of balance!

Task 3: Working through the literature

I recommend reading Bardon´s books in this sequence:

1. “Initiation into Hermetics”

2. “The Practice of Magical Evocation”

3. “Key to the True Kabbalah”

4. “Frabato the Magician”

5. “Memories of Franz Bardon”

6. “Franz Bardon: Questions & Answers and the Great Arcanum”

Read them in the first run in a flow like reading a novel. In this way you get a first good impression and a good overview. The recommended sequence helps you to understand Bardon´s biography (Frabato and Memories of Bardon) and the last book – Question & Answers is good to deepen your understanding of hermetic terms. The introspection part of this book can be helpful for the exercise where you have to make a soul mirror - introspection.

After your first tour through Bardon´s books you certainly can´t understand everything in depth but this was not the aim. You have got an overview about what is waiting for you.

For the same purpose I recommend reading Swami Vivekananda´s books in this sequence, also in the same flow:

1. “Raja-Yoga”

2. “Jnana Yoga”

3. “Bhakti-Yoga”

4. “Karma-Yoga ”

Now you have a complete overview of the path to spiritual perfection.

In the next step you are going to deepen your understanding with a focus on actual important topics to accomplish your training steps and to manage your actual challenges on the path. So this means that you pick out the topics which are interesting and relevant for you according to your training steps.

I recommend that you focus on Bardon´s first book as the training starts here. Additionally you can go deeper into Raja Yoga as the relevant things like concentration, meditation and so on are explained.

It makes sense that you choose topics like concentration, imagination, vital energy, breathing exercises and so on. Then you go through the books a second time for research of all information, definitions and hints you can get for your topics. This will increase very much your understanding of the matter. By the way – Bardon´s books provide all keys to understand all other spiritual literature completely. So you will understand the teachings of Vivekananda quite good. A help for this research can be to get the pdf-files of these books as you can search directly for keywords and you are able to copy the sources directly into a word-document. But have in mind that you can get not all hints with this method as many of them are indirect.

How does it look like concretely? Let´s imagine that you start your training with understanding the theory – the first part of “Initiation into Hermetics”. Keywords are probably God, the four elements, Akasha and so on. Interesting now is to get more information about these terms. These details you will find in Bardon´s books and also in the books of Vivekananda. Indeed it makes sense to mark such terms in your books and to make short notices at the border of the text pages in your second reading of all books. Then collect the terms with the details, definitions and techniques in a word-document on your PC. This makes it quite easy for further research and for the maintenance.

Conclusion: You have read the most important books about theory and practical training. You have gained a good overview about the content and the spiritual development. In the next tours through the books you are marking all important terms with short notices and a collection on PC. So you have a good basis for research and understanding of all topics and techniques for your spiritual training.

Task 4: the right mental attitude

Some general explanations in advance: The training system of Bardon is the universal tour guide for the human spiritual development, evolution respecting the tarot cards, the book of wisdom. This means that Bardon describes the steps of training on the direct path to perfection. Direct means that it is the shortest way to perfection. This is comparable with climbing up the highest mountain on the direct vertical path. This is indeed a real challenge. To this direct and hard to master path all relative, normal religious paths follow a more or less slightly ascending slope around the mountain. So the training system of Bardon is the most demanding system one can follow – as it represents the absolute standard. It is necessary for you to understand this fact. Although his training system is so demanding it is practicable. So don´t underestimate Bardon´s training program but also do not overestimate it regarding the practicability. Also do not underestimate the time which is needed for successful training and at last mastership. A wise man would say: Take the time you need!

So when you give yourself enough time for everything, when you do not hasten, when you do not have too high and too fast expectations – when everything you do has realistic frames – then you have one good key to real success.

The next key are the so called four pillars of the temple of Solomon (wisdom) – the four qualities: to know, to venture, to will and to keep silent.

1. To know

You must know what you do, why, when, where and how you do it. This means that you must work on your awareness, on the Buddhistic attentiveness, to be right here and now with you mind. It means also the right, good preparation of all exercises, meditations, experiments and operations. It means to have full control over all the things you are doing respectively the ability to cope with the results of your actions. Knowledge is always the basis. You can increase this pillar by doing spiritual studies and research, and also by using management techniques to organize yourself and your tasks in a professional way. You can get compact books about management techniques without any problems for cheap prices and with all necessary information. Please use also a word-document or book where you write down all your experiments like instruction manuals. This is useful for repetitions of experiments and their refinement.

2. To venture

Life is an adventure and the spiritual path is the greatest adventure. Security is in parts an illusion. What we call security in normal life is an emotional thing but not something real. There are neither insurances nor security directives which are able to guarantee your health, your happiness or your life. You can only increase your attentiveness and follow your intuition to protect yourself from unwished things.

This means in your normal life you take daily risks which you are not aware of because they appear so normal and on your spiritual journey you take risks. If you do your training wisely then the risks are no real risks but new experiences. Only when you do stupid things then the risks are immense.

In general the venture is to make a step into the unknown – something what you haven´t experienced before. This can cost you quite an effort. Sometimes it can feel like jumping into cold water. When you are in this cold water you have no alternative than to go on, to swim. In most cases you will experience that this jump into the unknown is not so hard to cope with as you may have thought before. Indeed in most cases you are surprised about your positive experiences with your venture.

I have survived all my ventures and it has cost me often quite an effort to do it. Often I have asked myself if I am mature enough to step forward in my practice as Bardon speaks out big warnings but indeed my ventures were all successful and blessed. I have made so much progress in all these years and with this so many amazing and beautiful experiences – all this was only possible through my fearless ventures.

I know several people who have not the heart to take ventures – and this lets them stay on their level of development without any progress. A sad thing for sure.

You can increase your venture quality by doing something which you haven´t experienced before, where you know that you will survive it without damage but what cost you quite an effort to do. It can be something simple like taking dancing lessons or eating sushi or parachuting.

A time will come in your development where you experience that there are in fact no limits for you. There is nothing what you are not really able to manage. Your highest nature is infinity. God is infinity.

Follow as always your inner guidance. If you are not sure about taking a venture ask God or your spiritual guide for intuition.

To take ventures means also to take responsibility. Ask yourself if you can take responsibility for what you are planning to do.

3. To will

The will belongs to the fire element as it sets impulses for the realization of ideas, wishes. It is the igniting power in creation. Without will nothing happens. Without will there is no progress in anything. So you need a strong and clear will to attain your aims, to attain progress in your development, to accomplish all exercises, to master yourself, to withstand all temptations and traps on the way.

Beside this aspect it means that you must have a clear and powerful spiritual intention, a spiritual aim which is so strong that you are able to master all obstacles, to make your way with full success. For example curiosity has never the power to make you work yourself through all exercises. The best intention is real spiritual desire to unite with God, to reach perfection.

To your information – to gain magical powers or some kind of fame or wealth is also not enough but dangerous to master the path.

How can you increase your will power? Force yourself in small steps to do things you do not like to. For example start jogging two days per week for half an hour. Don´t care about the weather – keep evenminded equal if the sun shines or it rains – just accomplish your training. You can also take the stairs instead of taking the elevator or you do some house cleaning although you are tired. Something like this. The aim is to increase your will. By the way – you will experience that only in the beginning it may be not easy but a little bit later you do what you will to do without any problems. It is a very good experience. Then you know that you have managed your weaker self and that there is nothing what you cannot do.

A strong will lets you reach all aims.

4. To keep silent

We live in a material orientated world which some more or less narrow-minded religions. So when you openly pronounce that you are a spiritual person and in addition that you follow a spiritual training then your chances to land in a funny farm are quite good. Spirit and spirituality stand in opposite to the material world and several teachings of so called religions. So it is very wise to keep your spirituality for yourself like the holiest inner room in the old temples.

The law of silence provides indeed protection against all negative powers, especially negative people who long for burning you on the funeral pile – just because you are a follower of the light.

A further aspect of silence is that your whole development works with the higher realms, higher powers, pure spiritual dimensions. These things are somehow separated from the raw material world. Stillness, purity and secretiveness are attributes of these dimensions and certainly they are attributes of the spiritual development.

So with respecting the law of silence you do yourself a lot of good and the higher realms will open to you easier.

Certainly you can exchange yourself with other genuine students of the path but here you should be cautious. There are many untrue people especially concerning the term “magic”.

In spiritual silence you will grow in the best way. One day it will have become natural for you.

You can train your silence in keeping things for yourself which you normally would love share with others – completely or just for a period of time. You can also try to take a day or some days of silence where you do not speak one word but go into your own stillness. This can be an interesting experience.

In conclusion: These four pillars of the temple of wisdom have to be built up and strengthened in your personality.

Task 5: the right dedication and orientation

Imagine you start a journey and you don´t know neither the aim of the journey nor the milestones. Imagine you want to create a great piece of art and there is no one to help you although you depend on help.

Both situations are not good, especially not good if it concerns your spiritual journey and if you are the piece of art you are working on.

Meanwhile you have read Bardon´s books and the books of Swami Vivekananda and so you know what is possible and where the spiritual development leads to.

I want to summarize in a short form the milestones and aims of the spiritual journey:

The highest aim is to embody God in all his virtues and powers. This means you build up your cosmic nature – you become one with the virtues and powers of the spheres, the macrocosm. You are a perfect temple, a perfect expression of God.

Before reaching this degree of perfection you work on the perfection of your microcosm. This includes a complete clearing, healing, balancing and refining of your personality plus the development of all potential powers, virtues and abilities. In this step you are able to unite with your personal God-form, - your personal expression of God.

Between these both steps you get to know the whole creation on all planes including the spheres with their spirits who are responsible for the functioning of creation.

All in all you receive a complete initiation into God, man and creation. This we call perfection. It is indeed the foreseen evolution for humans.

About these aims, destinations of your spiritual journey you have to be totally aware. Once started the journey you can´t turn back. You can only decide about how fast or how slowly you proceed.

Derived from these facts it is good and recommendable for you to make a statement in front of God and creation that you are ready to start this journey and that it is your aim to reach your destination. It is somehow a confirmation of your resolution. Another aspect is that this statement represents the ignition, the kick-off to realize the spiritual training. This impulse is very important. A third aspect is that such a statement works like a call on God and the spiritual world to support you for full success.

For the practical implementation I recommend to make a statement, respectively a vow in front of God and creation similar to the following one. It is very important that you speak from your heart, totally convinced, with power and honest. Imagine that you are connected (through the Akasha-principle) with the whole macrocosm so that you are heard well.

“I call on God, the spirits of the spheres, the spiritual masters, the spiritual guides and all my brothers and sister in the light to witness my vow.

It is my deepest heart´s desire to follow the path to perfection and to reach total mastership.

It is my deepest heart´s desire to become a perfect temple of God, to express all divine virtues and powers.

It is my deepest heart´s desire to become a genuine brother of the light, a true servant of the Divine Majesty and creation.

To fulfill my highest ideals I call on your help, on your guidance and on divine power to master all challenges on the path with full success!

In deepest humility I thank you all for your love and support.”

In addition: Without the support and caring love of the spiritual realms no one is able to make any real progress on his path. So maybe it seems that you are alone and that you have to cope with all your challenges on your own but indeed you have so much support, guidance, assistance, inspiration, intuition, arranged situations by spiritual guides, masters, higher brothers and sisters and the positive spirits of the spheres that you would be astonished if you could sense their work.

So be always thankful in your prayers for all their caring love, all their help which makes it possible for you to move on. It is a relationship based on true spiritual love. Be humble, thankful and show your love to them.

And a second statement – dedication for yourself:

“I dedicate myself to DIVINE WISDOM and TRUE KNOWLEDGE – not to limited human "wisdom".

I dedicate myself to the ALL EMBRACING DIVINE LOVE - not to what I like or dislike.

I dedicate myself to the ABSOLUTE TRUTH - not my truth or the truth of someone else.

I dedicate myself to the HIGHEST POWER – as there is no other real authority and might in creation.

I dedicate myself to the DIVINE SPIRIT - as it is my one and only true being.”

This is also very important that you do not serve your own small and limited, relative values/ideals but that you orientate yourself on the highest and absolute standards – God. Only then you are able to master all challenges, to overcome all obstacles and especially to avoid all traps and temptations. Most of them come along with the feeding of your ego, with your limited, relative qualities. So in fact the best thing here is to set the orientation on the highest virtues of God and not on yourself.

Task 6: Mental clarity

The spiritual path requires in general the processes of clearing, healing and refinement – sanctification. This comes along with introspection, with the increasing of awareness and attentiveness. These things are major topics in Bardon´s training program. At this point I just want to draw your attention to a few important aspects of this topic.

One point is to be aware of your mental activity, the way you think, the way you solve problems, the patterns of thinking you use. I recommend meditating about these things to increase your awareness and to optimize your mental activity. You will notice that there are mental programs, techniques, ways of behavior which are good, which can be improved and which block you from success. The worst mental problem is to block yourself from doing things, from making new experiences by repeating “I can´t do this. It is too sophisticated for me, too demanding…” Such things. These patterns work as negative autosuggestion. These are obstacles on the mental plane which block you in your life and maybe also on the spiritual path. When you are aware of such things you can easily intervene with your will. Many blockades exist only in your imagination but this is often enough to stop you. Get rid of them.

For solving problems, for stomaching new topics there exist several good techniques of analysis, synthesis, of differentiation and weighting. You can study these easy techniques in small books about management, argumentation and preparing of study materials. These techniques improve very

well your skills to understand and to work with spiritual topics and they are certainly useful for your life.

Another aspect here is the topic of normal consciousness versus subconsciousness. This is important to be understood. Things you want to do with your normal consciousness can be sabotaged by the work of your subconsciousness. This is just a matter of duality and polarity. When you have a strong will you don´t have any problems here. But if your will power is not strong and clear then you can have problems which make it hard for you to reach your aims.

For example: You have the good intention to make your spiritual exercises (normal consciousness – positive principle) and you think about it. You are already on your way to your meditation room when suddenly the thought comes into your mind: “Oh, maybe I have a snack before meditation.” (Subconsciousness – negative principle). Although you are not hungry you turn to the kitchen to get you a snack. Now you turn again to your meditation room (normal consciousness). Suddenly you think of the TV-Program in the evening and turn to your living room to have a look in your TV-Magazine (subconsciousness). Then you look on your watch and you think: “Oh it´s already too late for meditation. I will do it tomorrow.” (Subconsciousness).

From this example you can see how it works – good intention + low will power = successful intervention of the subconsciousness = no realization of the good intention.

So this shows that you don´t need to wonder if things do not work out as you originally intended to. Reach your aims without intervention of the subconsciousness by increasing your will power.

In conclusion: It is good to understand how your intellect works, which patterns may have a blocking effect and what kind of mental techniques help you to reach your aims. Your attentiveness will increase by the spiritual training but already before starting with exercises it is good to know eventual problems and how to cope with them.

A last thing on mental clarity: It is absolute necessary for every spiritual student to be open for new ideas, new concepts, a new point of view. Spiritual studies and especially spiritual training mean transformation, change, new insights and a refined philosophy. You must be open-minded to get through the jungle of misunderstandings, prejudices, half-truths, dogmas and lies. Trust in your divine guidance and in your faculty of judgment, of intellectual differentiation. Together with your dedication to universal truth and wisdom you have the keys to make it. In addition I must say that Bardon´s books provide many surprises and mysteries which you do not really expect because of his short descriptions. So only the practitioner will be initiated in all (hidden) aspects.

Task 7: Improvement of your will power

One main key for success in the spiritual development and also in life is a strong and refined will power. With a strong will you are able to reach all aims and to manage all obstacles. Certainly a strong will is only one aspect of your personality and it must be integrated into a harmonious overall picture of your character.

A strong will is absolutely necessary to master the training program of Bardon. A strong will is analog to mastership, to control of yourself, of your mental activity, your emotions and your behavior and certainly of all kinds of energy. Mastership is an important aim, – spiritual mastership and mastership in life.

The principle of will comes along with the ability of visionary imagination, with rebuilding and enhancing the health in your microcosm, with being focused in “here and now”, with the ability to act and react quickly and with authority, assertiveness, at last certainly with the control over your subconsciousness.

You can train your will by using situations which demand your will, which increase your will, - when you overpower yourself, your weakness, your weaker self. All kind of challenges are good for this.

Beside this I recommend a spiritual technique which has many good side effects and is quite easy to practice:

First you need a position where you can relax your physical body while you work on the mental and astral level. Such a position is called asana and indeed you only need one asana for your spiritual practice. The best asana for meditation purposes is when you choose a chair or an armchair where you can sit for about half an hour without any problems. Take your seat, make your spine and head vertical, lay your hands on your thighs, position your feet parallel with thighs and shanks in a right angle. Close your eyes.

In the next step you do some deep and natural breaths to relax yourself and to switch from normal life to your spiritual practice.

Now use one fingertip to press for a short moment the point between your eyebrows. Then put your hand back on your thigh. Now direct your sensation to this point and to the feeling of pressure, of activity. Keep your sensation on this point. Try to keep it there for three minutes. You can use a digital egg-timer. This thing is really useful in the whole training.

So what is happening when you concentrate yourself on this point? You activate your Ajna Chakra, the master center in your microcosm, the center of will power.

I recommend this exercise for at least three months daily starting with three minutes. Over the months you increase the training time smoothly up to ten or fifteen minutes or eventually more (30 minutes). After this training your will power will be good for all purposes.

IMPORTANT: It is absolutely necessary that you do this training without any force and without exaggeration! So it is better to increase the time of training very slowly than to hasten. You must keep your health and your body, microcosm needs time to adjust itself to this activation and transformation of your Ajna Chakra.

You will experience several interesting changes, activations, also processes of cleaning, healing and regulating of your system. Cleaning and healing is often not funny to experience but they are necessary and very positive.

It is possible that you will feel your Ajna Chakra after some time of training, also other chakras in connection to the Ajna, your nadis and energy which is floating through them. Indeed this exercise will strengthen and refine your fire element.

Additionally to your concentration exercise I recommend a short meditation before and after it with strengthening the idea that your will power gets stronger and finer day by day.

In conclusion: Your will power will be strong and refined by accomplishing this exercise. As a side effect your whole microcosm will be activated and processes of self healing will be supported. You will have increased your concentrations abilities and probably you will have experienced the meaning of Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi (for details look up what Vivekananda says about them). This practical experience is important and very useful for your whole training.

In normal life you will experience that you reach all your aims and that your wishes manifest quickly, also that you can cope with obstacles quite well – thanks to your strong will.

Task 8: Improvement of your intuition

Beside a strong and refined will power a good intuition is important for success on the spiritual path and certainly in life. Indeed what we call intuition has several interesting and different aspects. We work here with the aspect which is represented by the forehead chakra, also called third eye. This center is very important in the spiritual development and it is very good for the preliminary practice. Main qualities of the forehead chakra are vision, visionary intuition and clairvoyance. It is also the master chakra of the air element in the microcosm.

The exercise for the activation of the third eye/forehead chakra is similar to the exercise on the Ajna chakra.

So take your asana, relax by taking some deep breaths and now press your fingertip for a short moment on the middle of your forehead. Now direct your sensation to this point and to the feeling of pressure, of activity. Keep your sensation on this point. Try to keep it there for three minutes.

Like the first exercise I recommend training this for at least three months daily starting with three minutes. Over the months you increase the training time smoothly up to ten or fifteen minutes or eventually more (30 minutes). Again – do it smoothly, keep balance and health, don´t force too much. Add to this concentration exercise similar to the first exercise a short meditation about increasing the analogue qualities and abilities in yourself. Practice this exercise in addition to the first one. So first concentration on your Ajna chakra and then concentration on your third eye.

The forehead chakra is somehow the key to the higher worlds, to higher visions, to higher intuition, to receiving messages and insights. So by performing this exercise you increase these abilities, your intuitive understanding, your access to the spiritual realms. You enhance your ability to switch between the material world and the astral and mental world.

Beside these results you refine and strengthen the air element in your microcosm which is very good for your intellectual abilities and on astral level for your heart chakra, your ability to experience higher, divine feelings of love, peace, also your level of wisdom will grow – you enhance your ability to act wise, to understand the laws of God and creation. Certainly this exercise will support all processes of healing, clearing and especially of balancing mentally and in your soul.

After some time of training you will probably feel also the activation of your ears and your heart chakra. This is good for your respiratory system, your immune system and it supports the development of clairaudience.

Task 9: Improvement of your intuitive feeling

This point is not a must in the preliminary practice. It is more a matter of the degree of perfection you want to reach in your spiritual preparation. So if you have enough time to integrate the following exercise then do it for your benefit and in respect for the law of perfection. If your time is limited then you can leave it for special training later on the path.

The exercise deals with the Soma chakra – moon chakra which is the highest center of the water element. You find it a little bit above the forehead chakra at the hairline. The training with the Soma chakra strengthens and refines your water element, your intuitive feeling, also your ability of concentration as it balances the fire element. Perfect concentration has two aspects – fire and water element.

The exercise uses the same principles like the previous exercises. When you integrate this technique then do the training in this sequence:

1. Fire – will

2. Air – visionary intuition

3. Water – intuitive feeling

4. Earth – higher consciousness, divine guidance (Task 10)

This sequence leads to God, to your divine nature. It is the sequence of refinement, of lifting you up. You can start also the sequence with earth (4) ending with fire (1). This sequence strengthens you in your “here and now consciousness”. So indeed the choice of sequence depends on the state of awareness you want to be after the exercise.

In general I recommend to do all four exercise one after the other as long as the training time is low – for example when you practice 3 – 15 minutes per chakra. If you increase the training time over 15 minutes then integrate a bigger break between the exercises two and three. For example the first two exercises in the morning and the last two exercises in the evening or two on one day and the next two on the next day. The aim should be to keep the training time at a maximum level of 30 - 45 - 60 minutes. Half an hour is already much. One hour is really much. You have to keep your health and your balance. Too much is often unhealthy. The increase of training time must be done very smooth so that your microcosm, your energetic system is able to adjust itself to the new level of activity and power.

Task 10: Improvement of your divine guidance

The last step of this mental training sequence is the concentration on your crown chakra. It is located at the highest point in the middle of your cranium, head. So take your asana, follows the known steps of the previous exercises, press with your fingertip the central point on your head and focus your sensation on the feeling there. Don´t forget the short meditation about the increase and refinement of your higher guidance.

The crown chakra is your center of cosmic consciousness – it is your spiritual crown, your place of unity with God, your receiving station for enlightenment, for spiritual energies, for direct understanding, direct knowing, for experiencing your cosmic nature.

By activating this center you refine your whole personality as this center provides the highest spiritual energies which lift you up – spiritualization – the alchemistic process of refinement.

This exercise is also one possible, good key to master the exercise “stillness of mind” by Bardon as God can be experienced in form of this stillness.

By working with this exercise you refine yourself and you increase your divine guidance. Probably your will experience enlightenment and in parts the nature of God, of the cosmic impersonal consciousness.

Maybe you experience that a swelling occurs at the place of your crown chakra. This is a sign of transformation – of physical transformation of your body caused by the strong flows of energy and activity. This is normal, a good sign. Something similar you can experience at your Ajna chakra, etc. In general keep care of your health and do not exaggerate anything.

In conclusion: With these exercises you activate your whole microcosm, especially your mental plane. You start the spiritual transformation process with the side effects of clearing, healing and spiritualization. You activate also your senses, your higher qualities and abilities. The awakening of them is a matter of training and talents. Keep in mind that this is just a preliminary training. So the sense is that you reach in a relatively short time a level of training which makes it possible for you to enter successful Bardon´s program.

Task 11: Techniques of mental training

The so called “Mental training” provides techniques from old spiritual teachings. It is used today for success in sports and in business, - for the optimization of performance. I recommend reading a book about such techniques. You can find many analogies between Mental training and magical training. So it can help you to understand magic, the magical training and how things work, how they can be implemented. You can use techniques of Mental training for a variety of purposes. It is up to you if you use it and how.

Task 12: The use of hypnosis

Magic deals with analogue techniques of hypnosis – suggestion and autohypnosis – autosuggestion. Hypnosis works with the subconsciousness and it makes things possible which you can attain by states of trance, - the use of Akasha. So techniques of autohypnosis can help you to better your progress in your spiritual development and in life. It can help you to dissolve blockades, to heal yourself, to strengthen abilities and qualities of your personality, also to awaken abilities and to increase their development. Hypnosis is comparable with surgery. Surgery is very delicate, - it can be very dangerous with unwished effects. So it is absolutely necessary that you have full control, full awareness about the whole operation, that you find a hypnosis therapist which has a professional reputation. But also then you have to be very careful. You must control the suggestion formula in details and you must make it perfect – regard here always the possible consequences of the used words, sentences.

I recommend informing yourself about the possibilities of hypnosis and if possible to speak with a professional about how he could support you in your development and how you could implement autohypnosis for yourself.

Autohypnosis should have always preference to hypnosis through a therapist.

When you learn a technique for autohypnosis you will be able to work with more ease and better results through the spiritual training.

The astral aspect of the preliminary practice

Astral means soul – all things concerning your soul, your astral body. With the exercises from above you provide already positive influences on your astral plane – soul. The soul – character – personality is in most cases the biggest “construction site” in the spiritual development, the most demanding aspect. This is factual because your soul contains your emotions, your emotional imbalances, your faults in character, unwished habits and desires, patterns of emotional reactions, ego problems, painful memories, etc. These things are the seeds of karma, of your karma. So in many cases there is a necessity for a deep clearing and healing, for balancing and becoming aware of your characteristics, of your patterns and untreated traumas. Such a process is indeed a deep reflection on yourself, a deep and long meditation, a self-discovery.

In fact the soul provides the main obstacles on the path. Blessed are those who have a clear, fine and balanced soul. For them nearly all doors are open and they can proceed in a safe and good way.

So the main point here is to clear and heal – balance your soul as far as possible to make your spiritual journey easier and safer. Only a refined and balanced soul is able to receive and to contain the divine spirit.

Task 13: Balancing of your soul

Beside special spiritual techniques for clearing, healing and balancing of your soul there are some great techniques provided by naturopathy:

1. Classical Homeopathy

Classical Homeopathy is a powerful tool for deep treatments of mind, soul and body. The remedies are mental and astral energies bound in drops or globules. They are extracted from all kinds of substances.

2. Bach flowers

These remedies are related to homeopathy but work more specialized. They contain positive energies on mental and astral level which enhance your personality, your mind and soul.

3. Chinese acupuncture

Acupuncture and acupressure are great instruments to influence the energetic system of nadis and chakras directly. The flow of energies can be activated or reduced, blockades can be dissolved and the work of the energetic centers can be regulated.

4. Pranic healing/energetic/spiritual healing

Pranic healing deals with a direct treatment of the chakras and ill organs. It provides many possible applications. Spiritual healing uses high spiritual energies for deep healing treatments. The use of energetic healing techniques depends on the problem/disease and the abilities of the healer.

In general: One necessary requirement for the spiritual training is a good health. If you are not in good health then you should work on your recovery before you start your training. Please ask in first place a classical homeopath to help you. If you have an irreparable health problem or an organ is missing then you should do the training as far as it is possible for you. Complete health is always the best.

Back to the topic: Certainly you can and also you will use spiritual techniques to cope with imbalances in your soul. But for your preliminary practice I recommend to work first with the possibilities of the four healing arts described above.

Look for a specialist in Classical Homeopathy. Make an appointment for a first anamnesis. At this meeting you tell the homeopath that you prepare yourself for a spiritual development and that this requires balance and health on all three planes. This means that you ask him for his help to clear yourself completely and to reach a good degree of balance. This concerns your mental, emotional and your physical condition. Further on your whole “history” is requested. Therefore the anamnesis to get a complete picture of you to treat you in the best way. So the homeopath gets to know you and your “problems”. Then he can develop a master plan to clear you, to heal you and to balance you. Beyond that he has the possibility to enhance certain abilities and qualities to some degree – for example your memory, your intellect, your senses, etc.

The work with the homeopath takes normally several months. It has a great value. Additionally it is not expensive and the remedies have no bad side effects. A good homeopath is able to treat problems which a normal western medic gave up already.

If it makes sense then you can ask for supporting parallel treatments in Pranic healing and acupuncture but this must fit with the homeopathy treatment.

Bach flower remedies you can use to enhance yourself with positive energies, - special feelings, qualities. They are also useful for balancing you quickly regarding situations you have to cope with.

In conclusion there are four good possibilities of treatment for deep changes in your microcosm, your whole personality on all three planes. A special focus is here on classical homeopathy. With a well defined plan and treatment for all necessary purposes you reach a high degree of health, clarity, emotionally healing and balance. This is one important key for success and progress. The whole soul work in Bardon´s training program will be much easier to accomplish. And certainly you will benefit very much for your life in all aspects.

You can undergo your homeopathic treatment parallel to your normal preliminary practice and you can proceed with it when you have already started Bardon´s training.

The refinement of the soul is a long process as it includes the work with vital energy and then with the four elements beside the clearing and healing work. So indeed you have much time for this and Bardon provides many spiritual techniques for direct and indirect refinement of your soul.

Task 14: Character refinement

You can already work on the improvement of your character. A spiritual person respects high ethics like the Buddhistic ethics and represents a noble character. About these things you can meditate and then you can work on their integration into your life. A noble, friendly character which shows fine behavior is something to wish for. You will be respected in life and many things, relationships will become easier and nicer.

Have in mind that one day after a long period of training you will have become a king or queen in creation and then at the latest you should behave royally – noble.

Task 15: Heart prayers

Praying is related to wishing. Both have the aim to realize wishes. Prayers use the direct request for divine support and they provide the possibility to thank God and his spirits and to talk to them.

Prayers are for spiritual people as normal as drinking and eating. So I recommend praying as a technique for “conversation” with God and the higher realms, also and maybe especially with your spiritual guide, for divine support and guidance. Without spiritual guidance, higher intuition and inspiration life would be really hard.

Prayers are working certainly on the mental plane but good prayers have also a strong astral – emotional dimension as they come from your heart and are spoken with true love, humility and thankfulness. And these are the keys for powerful prayers – enrich them with high feelings from your heart and an honest attitude.

Use prayers for things concerning your life, your spiritual development, your beloved ones and people in need. Be always honest and thankful.

You can address your prayers to God, to your divine father, your divine mother, to the macrocosm, to your spiritual guide, the spiritual teachers, masters, brothers and sisters in the spiritual realms and also to the spirits in the spheres.

In most cases it makes sense to pray for divine guidance, intuition, inspiration, for divine power and assistance to master obstacles, trials, temptations, to discern between light and darkness, between truth and lies. Certainly you can pray for support to master your life, to earn enough money, for health and a good partnership, for making the right decisions, etc. These are all basics, necessary basics for a good framework of your spiritual development. Spiritual mastership means also mastership in life.

Task 16: Additional exercises for your soul

These exercises are not a must but a possibility for you to try, to train to activate and refine special centers of your soul. In general they work like the exercises for the other chakras as described above.

1. The fire element center of your soul – the solar plexus chakra

This center is located a little bit beneath your breastbone. It is the middle of your body. When you do concentration exercises on the solar plexus you increase the fire of your soul, the principle of the sun in your microcosm. This makes you more assertive in life and provides active powers to master your path. Most people have problems with their solar plexus center as it is responsible for all human interactions, relationships and the emotions concerning them. It is the center of the so called ego which is a science for itself. In short form – the ego must be healed and integrated into the whole spiritual development. It is the part of our nature which has to bear pain and torture, which often becomes ill and feels mistreated, misunderstood. It´s true nature is positive, a good child, - you. This inner child needs a lot of love, care and healing. Through the activation exercise healing takes place and your level of active power increases.

2. The air element center of your soul – the heart chakra

The heart chakra is located in the middle of the breastbone. It provides all high, spiritual and divine feelings, the wisdom of the heart, the power of differentiation (viveka), inspiration, clairvoyance and clairaudience. The activation of this center provides also a deep inner peace, happiness, freedom, selfless love, also courage and authority. The heart chakra nourishes the solar plexus chakra and blesses it with fulfillment. The heart chakra has a direct influence on the thymus gland which is responsible for the immune system and health in general. The heart chakra provides a direct influence on the whole respiratory system. It is able to lift you up emotionally – good to get rid of depressions. The air element keeps the balance in the work of the other elements in your microcosm and it has a major effect on your intelligence, your intellect and your abilities to analyze things.

3. The water element center of your soul – the navel chakra

It is located at your navel. If you do concentration exercises here you must take care because you activate your digestive system. The activation of your water element increases your ability to feel, also your ability of concentration, your intuitive feeling and your instinct.

4. The earth element center of your soul – the root chakra/ feet chakras

Your root chakra is at the end of your spine on your backside. If you do exercises here you must do it smoothly and carefully as the root chakra controls the heat of the body and also its level of energy. The awakening of the Shakti or Kundalini Shakti is something special and deals not directly with the root chakra but with a secret inner point in this area. So if you think you must awaken the Shakti then concentrate directly on the Shakti and not on the root chakra. But I do not recommend this practice for the preliminary training. I recommend using the feet chakras instead of the root chakra. This is safer.

The chakras of the feet are located short before the ball of the foot. If you like you can work with both feet at once – just press both chakra points with your finger and direct your sensation to both feet at once.

This should be no problem. With this exercise you raise your level of vital energy which makes you more powerful for all purpose. It increases your self-healing processes and supports them with the necessary energy. It has also a grounding effect.

In conclusion: I have focused on the four main chakras of the mental plane and the four main chakras of the astral plane (soul). They are analogue to the four elements. Certainly there exist also other chakras, other centers and all centers have a variety of functions and energies but for preliminary training these exercises and descriptions are enough. Maybe you like to integrate also your throat chakra as it is the center of Akasha which provides good influences on your whole metabolism but this is also not a must. For your preliminary practice the four head chakras are the most important ones.

If you like to integrate all chakras into your practice then I recommend the following sequence:

1. Crown chakra

2. Soma chakra (moon)

3. Forehead chakra

4. Ajna chakra

5. Throat chakra

6. Heart chakra

7. Solar plexus chakra

8. Navel chakra

9. Root chakra or feet chakras

In this sequence you direct the high spiritual energies from above down to all centers for activation, refinement, healing and enlightenment. This is true spiritualization. It has awakening and transforming power.

You can also start at your feet and follow up all chakras to the crown chakra. In this way you sublimate your energies from the material plane to the divine plane.

I suggest to try both ways and to follow your intuition. Certainly it is wise to keep your concentration on each chakra only for a short time – three to maximum 10 minutes. Do these things smoothly and watch what happens, - watch the activation of your chakras and nadis, watch the changes, be aware of your transformation, of new insights.

After all meditation exercises please do a few gymnastics for slackening and supporting the flow of energies through your body.

The physical aspect of the preliminary practice

The physical training has not to be underestimated. Physical fitness is the basis for success in life and in the spiritual development. The spiritual exercises demand very much from your body as the body has to cope with high frequency energies. The stronger the physical body and the higher his level of vital energy the better you will manage the spiritualization of yourself. This concerns all energetic exercises with vital energy, the energies of the elements, the fluids and light.

Physical training is also necessary to balance the energies and energy flows in your microcosm, to guarantee a good energy flow through the nadis.

Beside physical training a balanced diet, good breathing and other things are important.

Task 17: Gymnastics

Gymnastics have the sense to keep you flexible, to loosen your joints and with this to activate the corresponding chakras. Also your nadis, veins and organs will be loosened. This is for the flow of energy, for the circulation of energy in your body very important.

The best concept for gymnastics is developed by Mantak Chia, a great master and teacher of Tai Chi and Taoistic Alchemy. You find his exercises defined as “warming up” in his book “The inner Structure of Tai Chi”, in Germany “Tao Yoga”. These exercises are easy to perform, they fit perfectly for spiritual training, they need only a short time and they loosen all joints for a perfect energy flow. I recommend them for daily practice in the morning, in the evening and for special purposes, needs for example when you do meditations or when you sit too much in bureau, etc.

After doing gymnastics I recommend shaking/slackening yourself, - your whole body which supports the energy flow and you can also peen yourself with a bamboo stick for the same sense. Mantak Chia describes these things in his book.

These exercises are really healthy and you will enjoy them.

Task 18: Endurance training

Beside flexibility and a good flow of energy physical endurance is really important. My first choice of endurance training is jogging and this I recommend for half an hour twice per week. Jogging is very effective and quite easy to do. Just do not exaggerate in the beginning and increase slowly your performance. Focus on jogging in a good, smooth tempo with easy breathing. So you are able to keep a good rhythm which is important for developing endurance.

What are the main points here? Endurance training increases your metabolism which is very good for clearing and healing – the exchange of energies and substances. It is good to increase your level of physical energy and of vital energy. The body builds more power stations in his cells so they are more powerful. The immune system benefits a lot by this training so that you keep a strong health. Your breathing becomes much better and deeper. You get more oxygen. You become more effective for all purposes in life and in your spiritual training. An increased level of energy lets you reach your aims faster and easier. And certainly it makes you feel good.

Here is again a main point to do not exaggerate the endurance training in time and speed – this would be counterproductive. Half an hour two times per week is really enough. You are free to pursue other physical activities in addition. Just keep balance in everything you do.

Task 19: Strength training

Strength training is the third and last point in physical training. The aim here is to get and to keep a well shaped body – strong muscles which guarantee a healthy posture under all conditions – the healthy interaction of your skeleton. Strong muscles prevent malpositions and injuries. This is very important in life and in the spiritual training.

Work on all your muscles to keep balance, don´t exaggerate, focus on a good shape. It is good if you do some kind of sports, maybe martial arts or dancing or swimming. Something which provides a holistic training of your muscles and brings fun for you.

With a well trained body you certainly also feel well. You are aware of your physical body, plane, appearance. Someone who does not work on his physical body has no real feeling, no real sense for his physical being.

In conclusion your physical training will bless you with many benefits for life and for your spiritual development.

Task 20: A balanced diet

About food and diet a lot of books have been written. Indeed a few points are enough to know. In former days humans were able to sense what was right to eat, how much and what should have been neglected. They also knew what to eat or to drink when they had health problems – they ate the right medicine. This intuitive knowledge about food and diet is more or less lost today. Only animals in wilderness have kept by this ability. Imagine that they eat what is really good for them, what supports their health and what cures their health problems – and this without any scientists telling them what to eat.

This natural knowledge can be reawakened by training your intuition on food but this is not the topic here. What I want to say here is that we do not have to study several years big books to know what to eat.

A general rule is to follow your natural intuition. A second rule is to eat preferably good quality and fresh food. Third – eat diversified. Forth – eat in temperance – not too much but also not to little. Fifth – don´t follow ideologies in eating – they are ideas from the limited intellect and do not match with the laws of nature. Sixth – eat in analogy to what you are doing. When you do hard physical work then you need a different diet to someone who works hard with his intellect. Seventh – you do not need a special spiritual diet. Spiritual diets have special purposes or origin from ideologies. As long as you are not full aware of the purpose of such diets then you should not follow it. In most cases they are extreme and unhealthy, especially not good for normal life. Eighth – avoid synthetic food and food ingredients, also food what is too much treated. Ninth – avoid too many sweets. Most of them are not natural but synthetic and not good for your performance. Avoid also smoking and alcoholics. If you enjoy alcoholics then drink not too much. Tenth - you do not need to renounce meat and become a vegetarian. The physical plane is so constructed that all incarnated beings have to leave one day their physical body. It is also a law of nature that one being feeds itself from another being. Behind all physical beings/bodies/appearances there are spirits which feel and take part in the physical life. Don´t think that the spirit of a plant is insensible. The psychological reason for many people to become a vegetarian is that they think that they are no longer responsible for bad life circumstances of breeding animals. This is just an error in reasoning, a psychological try to escape from responsibility. This is indeed a masked self-deception.

For a deeper understanding of the vegetarian food of the yogis consisting of milk and fruits: The higher sense behind it is to weaken the physical body and with this the astral matrix so that the consciousness is shifted into the higher realms and to be more receptive for higher sensations. For some yogis in India this might be still okay but it is not okay for today and especially not for a holistic development. By the way – yogis love to sit on a tiger skin or a skin of a lion – for symbolic reasons.

These few explanations in short form should be enough concerning this topic. Just follow – as always – your higher, natural intuition which stands above all ideologies of limited human intellects. (From a spiritual point of view the intellect is just the servant of intuition. Unfortunately in this dark age the intellect has been put above intuition. The results you can see everywhere.)

I can recommend things like trail mix (mix of nuts and raisins) as it contains a lot of good ingredients to keep your brain on a good level of performance. Fruits are also a good snack. And so on…..

In conclusion: A balanced diet will increase and keep the health of your physical body. Health and balance are important aims and also the basis for good success in life and spiritual training.

Task 21: Karma Yoga

Karma Yoga is what all spiritual people do – it is the selfless service for God, mankind and creation. This is something natural, lawful and certainly very positive. We all are parts of the greater unity, the greater whole.

I recommend integrating Karma Yoga into your life. This means you do full aware good things for others, for people in need, for animals and plants in need just because it feels right and good. Don´t expect anything; feel blessed and thankful that you were able to serve. If possible do it anonymously. The spiritual world knows what you are doing. As a side effect you dissolve bit by bit your negative karma and bit by bit you build up positive karma. Karma Yoga is a good support on your path to perfection. But also here – do not exaggerate, do everything in a wise way.

General tips on the path

At last I want to give you some helpful hints to take with you on your spiritual journey, - your spiritual adventure. With the right preparation – the preliminary practice and the right, honest attitude, a true heart you will master this amazing adventure and you will discover all the beauties and mysteries which are hidden in creation. At last the glory of God in all its facets will unveil itself to you. Unity in perfection is waiting for you.

Tip 1: The trap of intellectual studies

Intellectual studies may be good but they are not enough. Only spiritual training with the right spiritual attitude leads to spiritualization, to spiritual transformation and in the end to spiritual perfection. Many “students” are trapped in intellectual studies, in senseless discussions, in demonstrating their egos. Spiritual development, spiritual transformation has to be experienced practically, - no book is able to transform you.

Tip 2: Getting sleepy at meditation

Meditation and concentration exercises can make you feel sleepy. You can prepare a cup with cold water so that you can moisten your face and your neck with cold water during your meditations. A second good thing is to do some deep breaths of fresh air. In general you should keep your head straight vertical in your asanas – if not you incline automatically to sleep as the center of gravity in your head shifts to the back, to the (astral) center of your subconsciousness.

Tip 3: Time for meditation

We can differentiate between active and passive exercises. Active exercises like concentration practice can be accomplished easier when you are fresh – for example in the morning. Passive exercises where you go deep into meditation, in trance are easier accomplished in the evening when everything is peaceful. I recommend trying such things for yourself and choosing your individual time for exercises. In most cases there is no other time possible then in the evening after work. This might be sometimes a challenge to do the exercises but it works nevertheless. I recommend setting a daily time for your training so that it becomes a natural habit for you to accomplish your exercises.

Tip 4: If you feel unmotivated to do your exercises

This happens. Sometimes it seems to be easier to climb a hill than to do your training. This can be a sign that you did too much. Too much is counterproductive. Take a break, do something else. Afterwards you feel more balanced with fresh energies to do your training. In other cases of feeling unmotivated use your will to overcome this feeling and do your exercise.

You will experience that this will feel good afterwards. You will say: “Good that I have done it.” It is true in nearly all cases. For example the weather is bad, you don´t like to go out for jogging but then you do it by will and you experience that you feel good by doing it. It is just healthy and all bad feelings can be turned to the opposite.

Tip 5: A matter of time and training (repetition)

One main key for success is patience. It sometimes can take a long time or a very long time until you have made any progress or may have reached mastership. The problem here is often that you can´t sense the processes of transformation, of building new structures and new powers. So you must trust in knowing that something happens and that it will be one day obvious. Keep your training and keep your patience! Through the continuous repetition of your exercises success is just a matter of time.

Tip 6: Akasha, the guardian of the threshold

You have probably heard about this. The spiritual world unveils the path and its mysteries only to the refined, genuine seeker. So it is absolutely necessary to provide an honest spiritual attitude.

There are many students and self-proclaimed masters who do not have this attitude but provide selfish, negative characteristics. They won´t be initiated into the higher mysteries and they won´t gain higher abilities. They do not get any support and guidance on the path. Quite the contrary they will be misled to illusion and darkness. In some cases it can be very subtle – that they miss important points in teachings or techniques but often this can be very dangerous. The path to perfection is very stony and narrow. It leads to the top of the mountain. Those who climb up high can fall down very deep. The right spiritual attitude is the best protection, - the only one. Pure curiosity and selfishness will let you fall. This is the reason for that I dedicate my books only for the genuine spiritual seeker. Everything else is just a waste of time.

So follow your true heart and God will guide you!

Tip 7: Balance in life

When I started my spiritual training I had the idea to concentrate myself completely on my spiritual development. All the other things in life were not really important for me (besides accomplishing all my duties). I have made the experience that this is not healthy although this idea is understandable. It is necessary and wise to reach a good balance in life. This means that you pay respect to all aspects of your life, that you do not exaggerate something and also that you draw fresh energies for your training from other activities. A balanced life is the best frame for a successful spiritual development. To live like an ascetic or like a monk is for most of us neither wise nor realizable. All ascetics and monks have to integrate themselves into society to proceed on the path even if it is the next incarnation. No one can dwell in a monastery forever. The real challenge is normal life with a spiritual attitude.

Tip 8: Keeping silence

In the beginning you may feel a big need to tell your beloved ones, your friends and others about your insights, your beautiful and amazing experiences and certainly about the great wisdom of the spiritual teachings. All people are searching for answers, for the possibility to understand creation and its laws, to answer the question is there a God and if so how does God look like, - such things. And you receive all these answers, you really understand but this knowledge is just for you. It is not meant for the others as they simply do not understand – light fell into darkness but darkness didn´t notice. This is bitter but you can´t change it. The worst thing is that other people declare you for being strange, maybe dangerous although you follow the highest spiritual ideals. It is possible that other people start a witch-hunt on you. And beside these unlovely problems you can meet negative and dangerous people with similar interests but from the dark side.

So in conclusion the best thing you can do is to keep your spiritual training secret to fit into the society of today. Unfortunately spiritual people are not really respected by others.

If you like you can say that you support Buddhistic ethics and that you use autogenous training for relaxation, maybe you say you do some meditation to release stress. This works and these are understandable answers which are in most cases respected and accepted.

With the years of training you don´t feel any need to tell something about your spiritual practice – others simply can´t understand you. Silence feels good.

So keep care of yourself in relation to others which are not open minded and have no spiritual attitude. Witch-hunt and martyring are not funny.

Tip 9: Balancing your energetic training

The breathing exercises with vital energy and later with the elements can be demanding. You can balance them with sports and with activities in nature, - for example taking a nice walk in nature or going bicycling. Such things. Physical activity is very good to balance your level of energy, to dissolve too much energy or negative energies and to exchange exhausted energies with fresh energies provided by nature. A stay in nature with sunshine, with trees, with water – with the elements of nature is always very good, refreshing and balancing. Humans are a part of nature but we have forgotten about this and wonder why we suffer from so many diseases.

If you feel overcharged with energy you can get rid of it quickly by taking a bath in best case in a swimming pool or in a lake. You can also use your too much energy for blessing other people.

Tip 10: The right mood for training

The right combination for spiritual training is a joyful, relaxed mood together with seriousness and responsibility.

The spiritual development is similar to demanding university studies or to competitive sports. It is serious enough by its nature. So it is good to find a joyful, relaxed approach to it. This makes things easier and brings life to your studies – the air element. Seriousness belongs to the earth element and when this is exaggerated then earth means death, pure form, pure program, functioning like a machine. This is certainly not the aim.

Keep also in mind that you are responsible for everything you do or omit. The more you develop yourself the more your responsibility grows. Only through the refinement of your character you can manage this responsibility, - your special powers and abilities.

A genuine spiritual student will do everything right without any problems.

Epilogue

Congratulations, you have worked yourself through this book. You have received much information and many well-considered suggestions for preliminary practice. All you have to do now is to start your training. This is maybe one of the greatest challenges. To ease this decision please imagine how long you have been waiting for the chance to proceed on your path to perfection, how much you have already “paid” for this possibility, how long it took you to get all necessary information to go on.

With every incarnation we pay a very high price for the chance to make new experiences in life, to make progress, to take the chance although so many uncountable temptations are here to draw you away from spiritual practice.

This is your chance! Don´t waste it!

May God bless you on your path with divine guidance and all necessary powers to master your challenges!

In love, light and service,

Yours Ray

PS: For the described preliminary practice you can assess about three months. This should be enough to be ready for Bardon´s training. Just take the time you need and feel comfortable with.

About the author:

I am an architect with special skills in management, eco-biology and economics. I have visited many foreign countries so that I got to know the beautiful diversity of cultures and people. I am a cosmopolitan and I feel at home especially in the south and the east of the world. I feel the old bonds of former incarnations to other countries, forms of old love and appreciation.

When I was a little child I have dedicated myself to the aim of understanding the world completely, how everything works. Today I would say – to understand God, man and creation, to gain real wisdom. So I started very early to study books about sciences, mysteries, religions, cultures, ancient history and spiritual teachings. Around the age of eighteen I began with the spiritual training system of Bardon. Indeed I chose this life to make as much spiritual progress as possible. And with this I will continue until I leave the material plane. For the future I have some spiritual, altruistic projects in mind. Let´s see what the coming years will bring.

Yours, Ray
