Seven Hermetic Letters e-bog

In the appendix to the first edition of Franz Bardon's novelized autobiography, Frabato the Magician, the reader will find excerpts from Dr. Georg Lomer's work, now embodied in this book.At that time it was not known to the publisher that the material published under the title of ';High Magic' was in fact the work of Dr. Lomer. The manuscripts included no reference to this author, and though his name was contained in the Czech translation, this was not known to the original German publisher until recently. It is, however, important to note that Franz Bardon considered Dr. Lomer's instructions to be of great value, otherwise he would not have had them translated into Czech for the benefit of his students.Dr. Lomer's Seven Hermetic Letters belong, without a doubt, among the most valuable magical treatises of the 20th century, providing incredible insight into one's spirit- and astral-nature. The original title contained the words ';secret science,' which, since the publication of the Bardon books, have lost their earlier significance.We are aware that many students do not adhere strictly to the instructions of the masters, and do their exercises aimlessly without giving any serious thought to the consequences. Dr. Lomer recommends exercises whereby the consciousness is transferred into the feet and other parts of the body. For those who have reached the ';magical equilibrium' in accordance with the instructions given in Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics, these exercises are not harmful. Without this magical equilibrium, however, the student subjects himself to certain dangers, concerning which Bardon warns us in The Key to the True Kabbalah, pp. 55-58 (1996 edition).In these days, self-cognition is not much in demand; that is why the strictness of Dr. Lomer's instructions may touch some readers unpleasantly. But he who has the strong wish for spiritual perfection or simply theoretical knowledge will not be discouraged. The exercises of spiritual, astral, and physical asceticism are intended to serve a higher purpose, rather than one's own selfish desires.
