o. This practice is very difficult.
The student cannot hope
for much success unless he have thoroughly mastered Asana,
and obtained much definite success in the meditation-practices
of Liber E and Liber HHH.
On the other hand, any success in this practice is of an
exceedingly high character, and the student is less liable to
illusion and self—deception in this than in almost any other
that We make known.
[The meditation-practice in Liber E consisted in the restraint of the mind to
a single predetermined imagined object exterior to the student, simple or
complex, at rest or in motion: those of Liber HHH in causing the mind to pass
through a predetermined series of states
: the Raja-Yoga ofthe Hindus is mainly
an extension of the methods of Liber Ε to interior objects: the Mahasatipatthana
of the Buddhists is primarily an observation and analysis of bodily movements.
While the present practice difi’ers radically from all of these, it is of the greatest
advantage to be acquainted practically with each of them, with regard firstly to
their incidental difficulties, and secondly to their ascertained results in respect
of psychology.

1. First Point.
The student should first discover for him-
self the apparent position of the point in his brain where
thoughts arise, if there be such a point.
