Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 31 July 1901
Went to sleep doing Buddha.
Buddha. 32 m[inutes]. It seemed much more.
Pendulum 1,000 single strokes. 23 1/2 m[inutes]. The pendulum kept in its plane.[1] At end of 940 strokes pundulum wanted to swing right over several times.
Calvary Cross. 15 m[inutes]. Too tired to settle at all.
1—In this exercise the pendulum tends to swing out of plane. Here are Frater P[erdurabo]’s two methods of controlling it:
(a) Fix mind of the two
points of a pendulum-swing and move pendulum sharply like
chronograph hand, keeping them fixed and equal in size.
Pendulum recovers its plane.
