Original message by TommyMc Nally:

'Not made 4th myself yet, but what's to be done after this point is something which interests me and which I've been thinking about lately. I read this quote from Aleister Crowley which seems to have some interesting possibilities...

"Let the Magus then contemplate each in turn, raising it to the ultimate power of Infinity. Wherein Sorrow is Joy, and Change is Stability, and Selflessness is Self. For the interplay of the parts hath no action upon the whole. And this contemplation shall be performed not by simple meditation -- how much less then by reason! -- but by the method which shall have been given unto Him in His initiation to the Grade."

The "method" in question is nirodha samapatti, which Crowley equates with shivadarshana from the Hindu traditions. I've often thought about this resolution of opposites, there's a lot of resolving of paradox which occurs for me in Equanimity during practice, and after a fruition. Is this relevant in any way, or am I just bumping my proverbial gums? Ha! It's great seeing what goes on post 4th path with you guys reports, thanks for posting.'

Hi Tommy

The practises I have done after 4th path have increased my capacity for being awake during everyday life. I have not worked much with NS, so I cannot say how it fits in this context. I know that Nikolai has done similar practises after 4th, maybe he can comment on this?

Antero.

[Edit: typo]

I think Antero might be referring to this practice:

I'd say it works if you stick with it. I didn't.

My current practice:
