ARARITA  One is His beginning. One is his ? Spirit. His Permutation One.

 

 

At Bournemouth, recovering from throat troubles.

     

Made a general vow to attain.

 

The Ebony Box

          

As small as possible for me in Asana.

          

Firm base; fairly light sides.

          

Feet, say 18 inches high.

          

Right wall, 2 switches.

(1) to powerful reflector lamp placed on top of box. Internal wire, and to wall switch through one foot.

               

(2) to tiny internal glow lamp.

          

Moss to sit on.

          

Front wall—slit at level of eyes, to be closed by a sliding panel.

          

Back wall—door.

          

Left front corner—shelves for watch and notebook, water, etc.

          

Ventilation?

Altar for sacred and incense.

          

Flames of this to be only light in room, bar the second light.
