The second mantric sentence: It weaves me. Again, feel the divine forces in the e, the astral in the s, and at the same time have a feeling of deepest reverence and devotion within you. Today's esotericists know that every night they leave their physical body and etheric body in their astral body and I. Now he must bring to his soul the mental image that a demon has taken possession of his physical body and etheric body and that his ego and astral body cannot return to their dwellings, and when he awakens he should call to his soul the following: What did you think or do shortly before awakening? The advanced esotericist does this before awakening with full consciousness.
