A.M.

Peculiar night, waking nearly every hour, but sleeping immediately after.

7:30-8:00

French.

9:10-28

Asana.

Really turned out to be Dharana. I placed myself before an altar candle and became still throughout being as its unflickering flame; motionless.

9:30-45

Dharana.

Difficult at first, found door after door closed. Finally stilled myself Buddha-like (visualized) and opened down to sex centre; found some rigidity here, relaxed this; gradually was able to draw in (or so it seemed) new strength, and I seemed on the fringe of something Universal. Too hazy to grasp. Have been after this centre for some days.

15’ analyzing and going over interior development, etc.

10:32-42

Pranayama—not steady. But—I am requiring the leak! Praise be for that.

(Ask A.C.: Was told this symbol means Body immortal as well as the Soul.)

P.M.

2-4

Psychology of Hashish.

For several days have been conscious of forms, interiorly. So far, at least, can eliminate. Is this astral leak?

Also, with resumption of Yoga the top of head is more in evidence. Feel sure I understand this correctly, however.

8:30-50

Asana.

This led up to what at a jump I call “perception.”

8:50-9:10

Dharana.

Still flame of lighted candle steadies and quiets me. This has shown me first, that there is a kind of buzz going on when I concentrate, to stop it. May this quality of “perception” really be focussing for first time? In comparison, this is all life, the other all dead, for first time candle hopped about, but the flame was always steady.

9:20-40

Harpocrates.

This still baffles me.

9:41-10:03

Pranayama.

Coughed once, lost 1'
