6 supplementary exercises from Secret Science.

In the evening, not too long before going to bed:

Take a brief 4-5 minute look back at the day. This should be done in reverse order, first imagining what you experienced in the evening, then moving towards the morning. After this, try to imagine an experience that you had many years ago and that you can remember so well that it stands before your mind's eye like a fact. Once you have placed this image before your mind in a truly imaginative way, try to imagine how you would behave now in relation to this experience, and try to conjure up an image of what would result from the experience if you could revive it and treat it as you would now. you would treat it. Try to hold on to what emerges from the experience in your mind's eye and then (meditatively) immerse yourself in your thoughts:

*In a similar way, I will one day (probably only in a future incarnation) I will face such an event and I will then have to behave as I did not know how to behave at the time, but now know how to behave.*

You can work on the same experience in this way for many weeks; you can then work on another experience in the same way for many weeks. Through this meditation, the moment will then come when, as in the picture, the realization emerges from the soul that all experiences leave behind karmic residues which must be realized in future lives. One must only exclude all other mental images from consciousness while forming this mental image. Then one gains an awareness of the spiritual workings of karma.

Once you have done this meditation (immediately on the first evening you do it), try to move on to meditative contemplation of the feelings that the words can evoke:

> Away from sensory perception  
> Freed from the use of the body  
> My soul strives to be knowing  
> To rest in spirit  
> To live in the light of spirit  
> To weave in spiritual love

Spirit in me; I in spirit. One tries to concentrate one's consciousness entirely on what one can feel in these words and to exclude all other mental images. Then one tries to free one's consciousness entirely from these images and not to allow anything else in. When one has reached the point where this can happen, images come from the spiritual world, either imaginatively (in forms) or inspired (formless) like inspirations.

In the morning, try to meditate for ¼ hour (as described in the last 7 lines for the evening) on the following ideas:

> I seek my true self  
> I want to strive toward the unknown  
> Where it (my self) can be found  
> Where it finds its essence  
> Through which it sustains itself  
> Without sensory perception or physical strength  
> Only alone within itself.

After this, do as you did after the last 7 lines in the evening, and something similar will happen.

The exercises described in the books (especially Rosenkreuz) can be done on the side if time permits. In particular, one should not neglect to do the six exercises described on page 306 of The Secret Science.

In the evening, not too long before going to bed:

Take a brief 4-5 minute review of the day's events. This should be done in reverse order; first, imagine what you experienced in the evening, then move on to the experiences towards morning. Then pick out one of the events you remember from the day and visualize it clearly, as if you had an object in front of your eyes. Over time, this mental image will become clearer and clearer, so that it will gradually become like a picture, like an imagination. Then concentrate your consciousness entirely on the words:

> What I experienced during the day  
> Now stands before me in my mind  
> So also place my ego  
> Place yourself mentally before the image  
> Feel as you felt during the day  
> Before it  
> Be alone with it.

Then try to move on to meditative contemplation of the following words, [so] that you feel everything that can be felt in them:

> I want to learn  
> In the I of the spirit  
> To be as in the body  
> To feel as in the body  
> To love as in the body  
> In the light I want to live  
> In the light I want to see.

Try to concentrate your consciousness on what you can feel in these words and exclude all other mental images. Then try to free your consciousness completely from these images and let nothing else enter. When you are ready for this to happen, mental images will come from the spiritual world, either imaginatively (in forms) or inspired (formless) like inspirations.

In the morning, try to meditate for ¼ hour (as described in the last 7 lines for the evening) on the following mental images: ![267-32](images/267-32.webp)

> I seek my true self  
> I want to strive toward the unknown  
> Where it (my self) can be found  
> Where it finds its essence  
> Through which it sustains itself  
> Without sensory perception or physical strength  
> Only alone within itself.

After this, do as described in the last 7 lines for the evening, and something similar will happen.

The exercises described in the books (especially those about the Rosicrucians) can be done on the side when time permits. In particular, one should not neglect to do the six exercises described in Secret Science, p. 306.

Do the 6 exercises: concentration of thoughts, etc., as described in “The Secret Science.”

Evening:

1.) Review the day's events in reverse order. 4-5 minutes.

2.) First concentrate on the mental image: I think things and facts.

Hold this mental image for about one minute, excluding all other thoughts.

Then concentrate on the mental image:

My thinking flows in time.

Hold this mental image for one minute.

After this preparation, concentrate on the following for 3-4 minutes in succession:

> I follow my flowing thoughts  
> I want to recognize my will in my thoughts  
> I want to find my self in my will to think  
> I want to live as myself in my will to think  
> I expect the solution of the self from the self

then a calm inner mood.

In the morning:

Mental image of a blue circular area red-blue with a red background.

Then transform into a red circular area with a blue background.

Transform back to the previous state. Do this 7 times in succession.

Observe inwardly how this gradually makes your thinking mobile, free within itself, and finally elevated to a state free of the body. With your mind thus prepared, concentrate on some simple object and observe how this inner activity is now different from what it was without this preparation. [The whole exercise takes 4-5 minutes.]

The time specifications are, of course, according to feeling.
