Invocation of the Genius in the Material


Cosmos:

Preparation
Prepare an altar or clear a space if outdoors, and place an
object symbolic of the sun: round disc, something golden, an
image or icon of a solar divinity, or one of the solar plants
(sunflower, chamomile, heliotrope, marigold) in a vase. Place a
candle or lamp on the altar, and a way to light it. If you do not
use the Dissolution into Sunyata and Four Immeasurables for
purification, also place a bowl with water and a small salt dish
on the altar.
Use this altar throughout the day for the three invocations
below.

Morning
1. at daybreak or as soon as possible, light the candle
2.perform the Opening gesture and take refuge
3.perform the Earth Cross, and at its completion, imagine
yourself growing vastly in size until the Earth is in your heart
or solar plexus
4.if purifying with water and salt:
a.sprinkle salt in the water, saying I purify and consecrate
this water.
b.dip your hands in the water and visualize all cares and
concerns rinsed away
5.if purifying with the Dissolution and Immeasurables, perform
these as described in other documents in this course.
6.visualize a brilliant point of light far above. See it begin to
descend, bearing the Name Her as it comes.
7.the light flares above your head in the sephirah Kether
8.it then descends to below your feet into Malkuth like a
lightning bolt
9.begin breathing, and draw the light into your heart sephirah,
Tiphareth
10.in your mind, chant the Name Her! over and over, building
in intensity
11.at the moment of greatest exaltation, perform the projection
gesture, calling the Name forcefully as you do, and send it to
the farthest reaches of the Cosmos, where it joins with the
One who possesses that Name
12.enter the sign of silence and await the return of force as it
comes from Her
13.put out the candle, visualizing it as returning to the otherworld
temporarily

Noon
1. at noon or as close as possible to noon (adjust for daylight
savings if need be), light the candle, and perform the Earth
Cross, again growing vastly in size
2. once again, disembody the candle flame but see it in your
minds eye

Nightfall
1. at sunset, perform the Earth Cross, grow in size, and
distribute the merit
2. perform the closing gesture
3. dowse the candle and thank it for its light
