hold in your hand. As you move the flashlight around, the beam of light from it directs
your attention first one way then another. Now, the mind is something like that flashlight
in the dark. And by directed attention, you point the mind to one place or another. As
with that flashlight beam, you see where the mind is pointed; nothing more. The rest is
'noise'. And so we could define mental noise as anything not focused upon. In another
way, noise could be considered as negative emotions, attitudes, and thoughts which make
it more difficult to direct the attention.
Your emotions follow your thoughts quite easily. Your emotions are not YOU, but are
rather reactions prompted by your model and ego - like a performance or an act, while
the real you watches. In a similar way, directing your attention toward a specific emotion
will cause you to experience that emotion.
Visualization Exercises
Visual imagination and concentration are very important in magick. Here are some
exercises to help in your development...
Close your eyes and visualize a single digit number as clearly as you can. Then a two
digit number, then a 3 digit one. Hold the visualization in front of your 'inner eye' for
about two minutes. Repeat with a letter or a word.
Visualize a brightly colored green circle or spot. Again hold the visualization for two
minutes. Try again with a different color.
Visualize in succession, each one of the tattvic symbols, in their proper color. Hold each
symbol for at least two minutes.
Look through a tarot card deck and pick out several of your favorite cards. Then, after
briefly studying a card, visualize it vividly in detail. Hold the visualization for at least
two minutes. Do this for each card you selected.
Repeat the above visualization exercises with your eyes open.
