Maybe it's just a coincidence, or maybe it's not, but the formula that was shared on Sound Light and Frequency sure does have a striking resemblance to the cover a book originally published in 1938 (not the book in the image) called The Middle Pillar by Isreal Regardie. @hollywoodufos h/t @theenthoosiast Book Summary: The Middle Pillar: The Balance Between Mind and Magic by Israel Regardie (originally published in 1938) is a foundational text in Western esotericism. The book bridges the gap between analytical psychology (particularly Carl Jung's work) and ceremonial magic, demonstrating how occult rituals function as practical tools for psychological integration and spiritual development. Core Concepts The Middle Pillar Exercise: The book centers on a ritual developed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The practitioner visualizes a central axis of light running down the center of the body, corresponding to the central column of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. Psychic Centers: The ritual activates and balances five primary energy centers along this vertical axis (Kether, Daath, Tiphareth, Yesod, and Malkuth). Regardie explicitly relates these centers to both the Eastern chakra system and the subconscious layers of Western psychology. Psychological Integration: Regardie argues that magic is not supernatural, but rather a methodology for breaking the barrier between the conscious and unconscious mind. He advocates using these practices to clear psychological blocks, strengthen the aura, and cultivate mental and physical well-being. Modern Editions Many contemporary readers study the expanded third edition edited by Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero. This version features modernized illustrations, comprehensive annotations, and cross-cultural variations of the rite (including Egyptian and Greek versions) to make Regardie's complex theories highly accessible to modern practitioners.
