and its satellite.

He will probably find the final trick of the mind
to be a constant disappearance of the image, and the
appearance of the same upon a smaller scale. This trick
he must outwit by constancy of endeavour.

He will then in add in turn Venus, Mars, Mercury
and the Sun.

of view to the centre of the Sun, and to do so may add
stability to the conception.

The Practicus may then a the Asteroids, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The utmost attention to
detail is now necessary , as the picture is highly
complex, apart from the difficulty of appreciating
relative size and distance.

Let this picture be practised month after month
until it is absolutely perfect. The tendency which may
manifest itself to pass into Dhyana and Samadhi must be
resolutely combated with the whole strength of the mind.

Let the Practicus then re-commence the picture,
starting from the Sun, and adding the planets one by
one, each with its proper motion, until he have an image
perfect in all respect of the Solar System as it
actually exists. Let him particularly note that unless
the apparent size approximate to the real, his practice
is wasted. Let him then add a comet to the picture; he
may find, perhaps that the path of this comet may assist
him to expand the sphere of his mental vision until it
include a star.

And thus, gathering one star after another, let his
contemplation become vast as the heaven, in space and
time ever aspiring to the perception of the Body of
Nuit; yea, the Body of Nuit.
