Break the barrier between the conscious & unconscious mind through the Middle Pillar exercise, a technique that serves as a bridge into magic, chakra work, & psychology. This classic work introduces a psychological perspective on magic & occultism while giving clear directions on how to perform the Qabalistic Cross, The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, the Middle Pillar exercise, along with its accompanying methods of circulating the light, the Vibratory Formula, & the building up of the Tree of Life in the aura.The Ciceros, who knew Regardie personally, have made his book much more accessible by adding an extensive & useful set of notes, along with chapters that explain Regardie's work in depth. They expand upon it by carrying it into a realm of new techniques that are directly related to Regardie's core material. Especially valuable is the chapter on psychology, which provides a solid frame of reference for Regardie's' numerous remarks on this subject.
