Marcelo Motta Diary Entry Saturday, 12 July 1969
Liber CCXXXI: A PERSONAL RESEARCH
Invocation of Scorpio, about 10m. Very many unimportant little visions: the main consensus seems to be that Scorpio is a watery sign. Very emotional, and so forth. It needs to be purified a lot in order to be worth anything.
Conclusion: Most insatisfactory vision up to now. Things seen (now remembered), in succession: a long corridor lined with tombs, with an opening at a distance; a garden; a pyramid, which then turned into a volcano; the volcano with me going up, it falling away; another planet—Mars?; the earth seen from space; then, further traveling; myself hanging in space.
Invoked again. A black figure in a long black cloak, with strange hands, opened. Banished it with Water Pentagram; did not go away. Wrote Θελημα. for it; do not remember its reaction.[1]
A garden. Lots of water. An immense waterfall. Then I meditated within the Sign. A star—silvery—appears. I am in Asana, and it is on my forehead. Then, I am the star (?). Then I remembered I had forgotten to set down the starting time. . . . I came back and invoked Sign of H-P-K.
Note: Another symbol that appeared at the start: an upright Triangle with a Circle inscribed (or was it a Circle with an upright Triangle inscribed? Do not know now[2]).
1—The lack of memory in such cases may mean, either a break in concentration, which is very bad, or the achievement of Samadhi, which is very good—but in such cases, only analysis of the posterior effects of the vision in one's Work may be of help—provided one manages to keep one's "lust of result" under control! 2—This mental confusion may indicate that the Symbol was immediately equilibrated by its Opposite, as it should be in Binah; but the mental confusion is very bad: it indicates lack of proper training in the lower Sheaths..
