Dear Reader!
Preface
Before introducing the reader to this work, some
explanation is necessary about this unique little
book.
The title alone may seem a bit confusing, but this
little work already existed in Prague under the
tutelage of Franz Bardon. Master Arion did not just
write physical books, but to a greater extend, he
wrote astral books, including the entire library of
all 78 Tarot cards, to which a hermetic student of
rank may have access. Anion is such a student of
rank, who, under the pseudonym of "Seila Orienta"
conveyed this work from the realm of Akasha to
his students as a support on their hard path of
Initiation into Hermetics. Master Arion instructed
him to "translate" this book as a supplement for the
practicing student. I consider the content of this
small book extremely interesting and hope the
reader will be able to gain much by studying this
book.
The Publisher
Foreword
The content of this book has been considered as
some of the most secret of the hermetic writings.
This work lifts the veil of silence and at the same
time show the quintessence of each exercise in
Initiation into Hermetics. Every exercise and
every step within Initiation into Hermetics can be
considered a mystery in itself and the practitioner
would have to spend years to recognize the
mysteries. Since many students complain about
failure and disappointment, it is the objective of
this book to help the practitioner along the way.It is
up to Divine Providence, how many practitioners
read this work and will gain from its content. This
book is a merely a supplemental companion to the
great work of Bardon’s Initiation into Hermetics.

Thought Control
The exercise of thought control is not only the key
for all mental exercises that follow, but plays an
important role in the practitioner’s mundane life.
Through this exercise, the hermetic student learns
to live consciously and alert in every aspect of
life, no matter how minute. Once mastered, this
exercise will unconsciously influence the
practitioner’s thought process on all levels. The
magician will gain control over his or her thoughts
and thought control enables the student to adapt an
ethical lifestyle. The magician will foresee
possible mental missteps at the moment negative
thoughts germinate within the practitioner’s own
mental plane. Hence, this exercise influences one’s
mental karma. Many hermetic students fail to
observe their thoughts without exercising influence
upon the thought process unfolding before the
mental eye. The key is to just let the mind play out
the thought process as the thoughts appear and exit
the consciousness. Once the student masters the
role of the silent observer, the amount thoughts will
slow significantly to a mere trickle. However,
should the student become active in the process,
thoughts will rush to consciousness like an ember
erupting into flames after being fueled by gasoline.
Many practitioners lament the unmanageable
amount of thoughts passing through the mind during
this exercise. Now they will understand that their
participation in the thought process causes this
flood of thoughts. Once the student has mastered
his or her position as a passive observer, the mind
will grow stiller with every exercise.
Thought Discipline
The first exercise of thought control, where we
observe our thoughts made us aware of the content
of our world of thoughts and their degree of
intensity (quantity and quality). Now, our task
consists of scrutinizing thoughts and blocking
unwanted thoughts from invading our
consciousness. A hermeticist trained in thought
discipline will, for example, always gain the upper
hand in an argument because the practitioner is
well aware of the prime thought that triggered a
particular argument. The average person will
quickly forget the prime cause of an argument and
become entangled in a web of incoherence. The
hermeticist, being aware of the primal thought will
therefore maintain composure and victorious end
an argument. The hermeticist will always be
aware of the primary thought that is underlying
other life situations. He or she will become aware
of his or her world of thoughts and confidently
recognize thoughts that cause certain situations and,
importantly, prevent unwanted thoughts and thought
processes altogether.
Thought Vacancy
This exercise is associated with the Akasha
principle and is considered one of the most
difficult exercises to be mastered. In many
instances, it may take years of effort to achieve a
deep proficiency of thought vacancy. There is a
great mystery underlying the vacancy of thought.
The hermeticist who mastered 10 minutes of
thought vacancy, will notice an increase of the
health and strength of the mental body as well as a
noticeable increase of intellectual faculties,
intuition and creativity.
