{ Stage: 1 }

Alright. We will use the foundation established from the last chapter. This time, you need to imagine two of these pentagrams side by side.

You also want to imagine five hourglasses formed in the gaps.

You want your eyes to follow the imaginery point.

You want to it to 'blur' and focus.

You can consider stage 0 as the preparatory phase. I will not be creating images for each stage. It will be a test of my verbal description.

This is the official start to the visualization technique.

The future stages will require memories and experiences to be 'infused' into the images.

It should be similar to the image here. Your eyes should physically follow the center circle.

You also want to design a mantra that represents the stage. You can chant this mantra mentally as you visualize it.

Todays mantra is:

'I will create but will not possess. I will live but will not die. That which I name is false. That which I can name is true.'

Todays word is:
