Hi
I am trying to work through the exercises in chaos magick manual Liber Null
I could do with some guidance from people familiar with the book
It is the very first exercise in the 'Mind Control' section I'm not sure about
It says something like 'try not to move your body at all or blink' am I really supposed to sit for 15 minutes without even blinking? is that even possible or safe? I tried the most I could manage was a few minutes
It just seems really difficult for the very 1st exercise
Thanks
just do what you can. the exercise is actually a training in self-hypnosis.
as liber null explains, you sit still, keep your eyes and hands perfectly still, and breathe. in time your mind will calm down.
aleister crowley explains the yogic form of this in book iv (liber aba). if you'd like more practical experience in the process, google vipassana retreats or join an introductory course on zen meditation. vipassana and zen both teach the technique carroll describes
