Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Tuesday, 27 August 1901

 

 

Under following conditions.

     

Vow of Silence: reduced food: constant muttering of "Pranava Mani Padme Houm" and meditation on Buddha and Anahata. I lost consciousness when meditating Buddha: Voice of Nadi became "Aum" alone, sounding like a far-off solemn song. Chequers and colours appear—tatwic. Meditation Buddha a great luminous gold Buddha appears. Will and control became weakened after some 24-48 hours of constant yoga.
