THE EQUINOX
OBJECT MEDITATED UPON. TIME, REMARKS,
Pendulum* (E).t ry Good as regards plane kept by the
pendulum; but thoughts wandered.
Winged-Globe. ry The result was pretty good.
Tejas-Vayu (E): >, Fair.
Ankh ¢ (a green). ry Not bad.
Pentagram (E). ry Rather good.
The L. I. L§ (E). ry Burning till extinct. Rather good,
but oil level descended very irre-
gularly,||
Cross. ry Result fair.
Cross. 10m. 15s, Three breaks,
Isis1 (E). 18 m. 30s. Five breaks. A very difficult prac-
tice, as Isis behaved like a living
object.**
Winged-Globe. 29 m. Seven breaks. Result would have
been much better but for an epi-
cene eunuch with an alleged flute.
My mind revolved various methods
of killing it.
Tejas-Akasa. 18 , Seven breaks.
R.R. et A. C.tt 19 ,, Seven breaks.
Pendulum. roy After 3 m. lost control and gave
up.
Winged-Globe (E).j 10 Ten breaks.t{
* By this is meant watching the swing of an imaginary pendulum. The
difficulty is to keep it in one plane, as it tries to swing round; also to change
its rate.
+ In these records “M” means morning and “ E” evening.

tf At this point P. made the following resolve: “I resolve to increase my
powers very greatly by the aid of the Most High, until I can meditate for
twenty-four hours on one object.”
