Final Thoughts on NAP and other 70′s epic yet cheesy Mystic Grimoires.
After having mastered traveling through the various realms and having developed your Avatar power and abilities to even greater heights you may wonder what is next?
The Miracle of New Avatar Power begins with describing the great users of the Avatar Power throughout history, people that the common folk thought were gods made flesh. The types of people myths were written about. Is that possible for you? To wield divine powers?
There is a next step. One you should eventually take after having refined your life so that it is in harmony with the forces represented in your mandala in their most divine form. The mandala is a perfect representation of the magical universe, and so it is a perfect reflection or image of G-D. You can even work on your mandala and refine it as you refine yourself, adjust a color, add in Zodiacal forces possibly, explore and develop those powers. But once you have a perfect representation of the magical universe there was another author published in English in 1962, who influenced a great deal of magicians through the ages, and has the last step for us on the path of becoming an Avatar of the divine.
Franz Bardon in Initiation into Hermetics, Step 10
You have, over the course of this series, built a mandala that is a perfect representation of the universe and the divine power behind it. You have built a divine image that you can use to unite with as you do in Step 10. You simply imagine the divine power emanating from it, as if your personal god is there before you. This is not new to you by now, you have been making this happen since you first started this work. You then imagine that the mandala, being a symbol for G-D and the filled with the divine attributes, and your mind and astral body merge with that symbol and become one. You do this until you are a perfect channel for the Avatar power. Until the energetic sensations bound in the mandala are harmonious to the energetic sensations within you. Until they are one.
At first it will be just like any of the other rituals and spells. You work at it daily, spending some time speaking words of power and imagining the result “as if” it were already a reality. You catch moments of success here and there. You keep at it. You live your normal life, bringing to life your growing development. Imperfect at first but always moving forward. In time you may spend an hour or longer enrapt in the bliss of the union. Your Avatar power will continuously blossom as long as you keep working with it. Even if you stopped it would flow for some time after. You would just seem lucky is all.
(Nice example of 70′s cheese right there! Right?)
So, there you have it. A complete system made from a mix of cheesy 70′s occult grimoires. And one hardcore occult training manual from 1962.
Seriously, if you have extra cash lying around buy them. If you have enough time and diligence you can find some online. Either way, find them and experiment with them because they do payoff with some great ideas and some real gems of magic.
