Operation: 6-10 XCVI, 11:45, location: A.�. A.�. temple

Weather: hot, 80�, slight breeze
Initial preparations: God Asana

* Entered Astral body, feeling at first very shaky and insubstantial.

* Ascended 11 steps, and began to feel more materialized.

* Entered Astral Temple, discovering that the furnishings were different.

* I inquired of the Gaurdian of the Temple, who had changed the Temple furnishings.

* He replied that I had, transforming into a winged snake, dancing in mid-air.

* I became a bearded, crowned king, enthroned.

* About me spread a lush, verdant kingdom, extending first into the west in front of me, then extending in hills and valleys, rivers and mountains, in every direction.

* Standing, I completed the Ritual of the Star Ruby, Liber XXV, thus establishing dominion over all the points of the compass.

* Furthermore, I created a Sword.

* In the reflection that shone on the blade, I observed the psychic damage I had sustained in previous battles.

Also, I came to understand exactly how and where I had lost some dominion over the Astral plane.

* Thus recognizing my enemies, I turned the Sword against them.

* Having banished all usurpers, I proclaimed myself soveriegn again.

* The kingdom passed away, and I stood in a void wherein floated gold bricks some distance from one another. The bricks spun in their places, but did not collide with one another.

* I observing their rythm, I danced on the stones, perceiving them to be the expression of all phenomena on this plane.

* A strange god appeared to me on the horizon, in a firey halo.

* I demanded its name. It was silent.

* Approaching closer, I saw it was another dancer, also leaping on the bricks. It began to take the aspect of Shiva, and the field of golden bricks as the Universe.

* Recognizing it as such, I destroyed it. I proclaimed my dance to be superior to his.

* The bricks drew closer to one another, still spinning and shining, but began to fit together into the flagstones of a stone floor. The floor was perfectly square and harmoniously shaped.

* Furthermore, the stones multiplied in tiers downwards, forming a tower reaching into the past. I inherited the dominion of this plane.

* Returning to my astral temple, I descended the 11 steps.

* Re-entering my body, I vibrated the Godname "Hoor-Paar-Kraat"
