Charles Stansfeld Jones Diary Entry Sunday, 20 April 1913
2:40—3:10 P.M.
Having left home about 2:15 I climbed up towards the mountain till I found a secluded spot; there I knelt down and did breathing exercise. Felt Prana all over body. Invoked Adonai and tried to unite with Him. A brilliant White light filled sphere of consciousness. Arose as Adonai performed the Ritual of Pentagram, then prayed aloud and fluently, trying to unite consciousness with all Nature. Knelt again in Meditation, and arose much strengthened and with a feeling of the Divine Presence.
(This is excellent for a beginner. But remember—all these divine illuminations are mere Breaks.—O.M. [Comment by Crowley])
Note: I find more and more difficulty in remembering any details of these practices the next day. Concentration was good. In this instance at end of practice could not remember what time I started, although I believe I am correct. I have thought several times lately about this loss of memory. Is it a result, or is it a fault?
(It's a good sign as a rule.—O.M. [Comment by Crowley])
