Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Sunday, 22 September 1901

 

 

     Repeated bell: from above head slightly to left of median line. Dharana on Ajna-effect of Light gradually glimmering forth and becoming v[ery] bright.

 

[Pencil note by Crowley:] "Bell conceivably physical. Possibly from gradually relaxing strain on eye muscles."

3.5 a.m. - 3.37 a.m. Prânâyâma. Sixteen minutes. 10. 20. 30.

     

Dhâranâ on nose. Seven minutes.

     

5.20 a.m. - 5.50 a.m. Dhâranâ on nose. Seventeen minutes.

     

Heard astral bell repeatedly, apparently from above my head, perhaps slightly to the left of median.

     

Two practices of Prânâyâma: 30. 15. 60.

     

Concentration on Ajna Chakkra. The effect was as of light gradually glimmering forth and becoming very bright.
