Stage III

Education magic spirit (III)

At this stage we will expand our ability to concentrate.

We have learned to imagine the images of places or areas, which we have seen and know that. Now imagine a place and space that we need to provide, that is, we've never seen before. First with your eyes closed, and if we manage to five minutes to present this by employing two or three senses, then you need to make it even with my eyes open. Exercise is fully satisfied if you managed to keep the idea in five minutes with your eyes open.

From inanimate objects, places, places, buildings and forests we now turn to living beings. We also clearly understand the different animals: dogs, cats, birds, cows, calves, chickens, and - as we imagined in the concentration of different things: first, for five minutes with your eyes closed, and then the same amount of time - with the public. If this exercise you have already mastered, you need to provide the animals with different characteristic of these movements, for example, imagine a cat washes, as it catches the mouse, drinking milk, to present a dog, it barks, runs, poultry present in the air, with sklevyvanii food and stuff. These and similar combinations student must choose at their discretion, at first closed, then open eyes.

If you can do this exercise without any obstacles within five minutes, the exercise is performed.

In the same way people have to adjust to. First, think of your friends, relatives, acquaintances, and died later strangers who had never seen before. It is necessary to imagine the features, then the whole head, and then the body in clothes. You should always do this exercise first with your eyes closed, and then - with the public. The minimum duration of exercise should be five minutes before you can go to the next and to people on the move, that is, when you walk, work, talk. If it happened to one sense, that is, visually, connect it to the acoustics, that is, intellectual information so that to hear people say, just as you submit your vote. We must strive to ensure that the imagination was like a reality, for example, the pitch of voice, slow or fast talking, that is the way it is actually the represented person. First closed and then with eyes open.

If with this you were successful, you need to go to concentration exercises, introducing strangers, imagining their facial features and voice. These may be people of both sexes of all ages. Then you have to think of people of other races, men and women, old and young.

If you did it and you for five minutes kept the idea with both closed and open-eyed, at this magical spirit of tertiary education exhausted.

To overcome all these really difficult exercise requires endurance, patience, persistence and perseverance. Those students who make the necessary efforts will be very satisfied with the powers that they have acquired in their result, and will be able to move them on to the next stage. Exercise that degree of concentration not only enhance the will and ability to concentrate, and all intellectual and spiritual forces, lift the spirit and magic abilities are the necessary preparations for the transfer of ideas, of telepathy, mental travel, clairvoyance. Without these abilities beginner magician can not move forward. Therefore, to make every effort to ensure that the work carefully and conscientiously.
