The Nine Day Class

An Exercise in Attainment



Think of an archer. His shooting is limited to what he can see. If he stands on flat ground, he can see some of the land. Trees and undulating ground may block his view.

            If our archer climbs a hill, he can see over trees and into folds in the undulating ground. By elevating himself, he is able to see more and therefore shoot more. He is able to appreciate more when he looks from a higher vantage point.

            Just as the archer does it in his world, so we can take a higher position in ours. The goal of this course is to elevate you, to improve your life, your thinking and your ability to succeed. In the next nine days you will perform a series of studies and exercises which are conducive to your personal betterment. The goal is not just feeling better but doing better.

            This course is drawn from techniques which I have taught over the last 25 years. The lessons and exercises here work. They have helped hundreds of people. Magickal students, medical patients, recovering alcoholics and drug addicts and myriad others have benefitted from these techniques.

            What makes these lessons work is that they are simple and practical. They can be understood and put into use almost immediately. No complex concepts nor arcane theories are presented here. Likewise, nothing is included that has not proven itself. The materials presented here have worked time after time.

            There is one catch: you must follow instructions and do each lesson in sequence. If you invent shortcuts, get ahead of the lessons or do anything other than follow instructions, your success here will be limited. Those who do the work will get results. Those who do anything less will have mixed results at best.

            You may have noticed that we did not mention any deity, divinity or supernatural power. We only mention the Universe and the All. That means All existence. Please do not read anything else into it. Your only task is to follow instructions. Leave any supernatural input to your Higher Power. He / She / It /They know what to do better than you do, and will act when such action is appropriate.



The following course is a simple set of lessons.



Instructions:


This course is simple, and you may be tempted to brush it aside and say, I knew that. Knowing and doing are two different things. Reading the course is not enough. Simple or not, you must actually DO it. The more effort you put into it, them roe you will benefit.

            Is it to too much to ask that you devote nine days of your life to this course? It is simple and easy, and it will not interfere with your work or home life. It will take less than half an hour of time to do all of the days work. The sessions are scattered throughout the day, so that no one part ought to take more than ten to fifteen minutes.

            All you need do is follow directions and put yourself into the lesson. That is all. The material cost will be a few pieces of blank paper.


            A total of a half hour a day for nine days. A few pieces of paper. That is the price.


            The important thing is that you follow directions and do not try to get ahead of yourself. Do not try to short cut or outsmart the lessons. Do each lesson in proper sequence, and treat each lesson as a class in itself. Follow directions. Do no try to circumvent or outsmart them. There is a reason we do them this way. You will appreciate the wisdom of doing it this way, as you work this course.


Lesson: Read each lesson thoughtfully and carefully. Read yourself into each lesson. Think of how it applies to your own unique, personal circumstances. If possible, read it several times during the day.


Meditation: If you have a meditation technique, use it. If not, then just go to a quiet place, relax and sit upright,. Breath slow, as you would when sleeping. Once you feel relaxed, read the meditation to yourself. Gently ponder it, visualize it, imagine it. Try to mentally picture it and feel it. You need only meditate for five to ten minutes. Try to meditate in the morning and in the evening.


Though for the Day: Write the Thought for the Day on a small card, in your own hand. Read it aloud several times as you begin the day. Take the card with you. Look at it throughout the day, and try to wrap your heart and mind around it. In the evening, read it aloud several times again.


Exercises: All but two exercises call for a single sheet of paper divided into two columns, or halves. Do exactly as the instructions say.! One exercise requires four columns, one per Element. The other requires making a small poster.
