Principles
In the following, I am giving you insights
in the structures and working of the universe. What is of importance
here is the USEFULNESS of those insights in relation to what you are
doing, namely giving Rune readings. I do not claim that the descriptions
of the structures of the universe are the only true ones. However, you
will find that these descriptions will prove to be useful when you are
receiving insights during a Rune reading.
Universal Structures: The
Elements
Perhaps the most familiar universal
structure with which any psychic, or reader, is working are the four
elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. In our days, the term "element"
is somewhat misleading for the beginner. This is so, because when we
hear this word, our attention is immediately drawn to the chemical elements.
The chemical elements are part of a completely different ball game.
In our days, it may be more useful to use the work "principles" rather
than "elements.". However, I decided to keep in line with tradition
and use the word "element." Those four principles, or elements, reflect
a set of basic experiences that we have. We can regard the elements
as undefined terms. The meanings of undefined terms are encompassing
many things. This allows for a great flexibility of those terms. At
first, I am simply giving things, or experiences, or structures, which
relate to the various elements. FIRE: Anything fiery. The human will.
The "world of emanation," or "spiritual sphere" (more about this below).
Physical fire. Hot spices (experienced as "fire" when ingested). Anger,
"hot" temper. Fever. The qualities of fire: HOT (positive polarity)
and DRY (electric energy -- more about this later). The TRIANGLE. WATER:
Anything watery. The human emotions, the astral sphere, world of formation.
Physical water, all liquids. COLD (negative polarity) and HUMID (magnetic
energy). The PENTAGON. AIR: Anything airy. Physical air, gases. The
mental sphere, world of creation. The human mind. HOT (positive polarity)
and HUMID (magnetic energy). The SQUARE. EARTH: Anything earthy. Physical
earth, solid materials. The human consciousness. COLD (negative polarity)
and DRY (electric energy). The PENTAGRAM. The quality HOT is active
The quality COLD is passive The quality DRY is LIGHT (electric) The
quality HUMID is LIFE (magnetic) With the qualities the same holds true
as with the elements. They are to be considered as undefined terms,
the meanings of which are encompassing many things. This allows for
a great flexibility of those terms. The elements are related to the
various levels of existence. Earth, or consciousness has relation to
the physical, or material planes. That which is "tangible" naturally
is conscious. That which is conscious manifests. In fact, even when
you get in touch with one of the "higher spheres," you necessarily get
in touch with that which becomes conscious. The physical plane is often
considered to be the "lowest," or "most dense" plane. I suggest that
you do not fully accept this point of view. In fact, matter as it is
perceived changes constantly. It is in continuous flux as is consciousness.
Perceiving the material sphere as "low, rigid," or "dense" may rob you
of very important methods. It is useful to perceive the material plane
in two "layers": One is tangible material (the "lower" material plane),
and the other is of an energetic characteristic: electric and magnetic.
This plane is sometimes called the "etheric plane." There, the electric
manifestation is the electromagnetic spectrum (light), which permeates
everything in one form or another, from gamma -- and x-rays to visible
light to the radio frequencies. The magnetic manifestation is the life
energy that permeates everything. Throughout the ages, this life energy
has received many different names. For our purposes, we use the word
"Orgone." This word was introduced by Wilhelm Reich. We may also use
the word "animal magnetism," which was introduced by Franz Anton Mesmer.

Some More Basics
Giving Rune readings is rooted in a
process of visualization, tuning into the Runic energies, and intuitive
interpretation. More advanced readings involve the practice of specific
ceremonials. Both practices require basic meditation skills from which
you can then go on to skills of focusing, visualizing, and projecting
energies. I have mentioned before that the use of an EPG (Welz Chi Generator)
will enhance considerably your meditative skills, focus, and eventually
projection of energies as in ESP and astral travel. Meditation as we
practice it here is the ability to calm the body and the mind. Later,
you will learn to concentrate on a given subject, to see certain things
with your inner eye, and to keep your focus on one and the same object
for a while. You will acquire those skills step by step. For those of
you who are already familiar with those practices, I still suggest that
you follow them so that you can tune yourself in the specific purposes
of making talismans. Of course, you need then not practice as long as
a pure beginner would need. Find yourself a quiet spot where you are
unlikely to be disturbed. Set up your EPG, if you have one, and transfer
the life force to yourself. Start out by sitting quietly. Be aware of
the many functions of your body that usually escape your attention.
The air flowing in the lungs, your heart beat, some tingling on the
skin, and much more. Focusing on your body helps you block out the many
thoughts that chase each other during the normal course of your day
by day activities. Once you know that you are calm, you may begin to
practice with Runic mantras. Chant mentally "FA" while inhaling. While
exhaling, let the energies of FA: flow into your body and extend into
your aura. Do the same with other Runes. Write down your insights, feelings,
visions, etc., which come as a result of this practice. What this practice
will do for you is teaching you how to manipulate psychic (in our case:
Runic) energies. Continue by concentrating of Runes: Draw the Rune you
want to concentrate of (such as FA) on a piece of paper. Although you
know by now the meanings of the Rune, you do not think about those meanings.
Simply look at the Rune you have drawn. While looking, chant the mantra
of the Rune (FA, in our case) while inhaling, chant the mantra mentally
while exhaling. Close your eyes. Continue the mental chanting. At the
same time, visualize FA with the eye of your mind, or inner eye. Hold
the picture of the Rune with your inner eye as long as you can. Be aware
of the other experiences, visions, insights, etc., which the Rune brings
to you. Once you can hold the image of the Rune for three to five minutes,
you are ready to go on to your first Rune reading. |
