    Dear David,

    I would suggest primarily focusing your attention on the Mulkuth
    temple at the present moment. In particular the tunnell that
    leads up to the temple proper. Along this path you have a number
    of places to pause and stabilize your sensualization (the term
    visualization doesn't do this sort of practice justice, IMO).
    When you pull back the curtian with the sepherothic crystal on
    it *feel* the textrue of the cloth, *hear* the rustling sound as
    the fabric rubs against itself and the stone wall. As you walk
    down the path *listen* to the sound of your footsteps echoing up
    and down the corridor and the *feel* of the dirt and stone
    beneath your feet. Notice how the sound of your footsteps
    changes when you reach the marble steps leading up to the
    temple. When you get to one of the two torches, *observe* how
    the fire flickers and casts shadows against the wall, *listen*
    to the crackling of the flame, *smell* the smoke rising up from
    the flame and *feel* the heat that is radiated outwards from the
    fire.

    Take your time, experience and enjoy the temples. Sometimes just
    sitting in the middle of the temple, meditating upon the
    appropriate number from the pattern on the trestleboard
    meditation while soaking in the ambiance of the temple itself
    can produce some lovely effects.

    Love and Live well,
    Peter Reist
