    Dear Peter,

    >> Alright, advanced question time. Rawn has already gone over the
    reasons for performing evocation in previous correspondences, but no-one
    has ever really gone over why one should evoke one particular entity
    over another. For when Bardon speaks of the Book of Magical Formulae the
    first item that he places in the forefront is 1. Purpose of the
    operation. Should the purpose be just to evoke the being? Learn what it
    has to say, to teach you? To have a sense of communion with something
    that is outside the normal realm of human consciousness in an attempt to
    expand one's own consciousness so that it can garner a better
    understanding of the divine? Or should it be to have the spirit perform
    a specific task? Something that should, most likely be practiced once a
    good rapport has been made with that particular spirit. <<

    There is no universally applicable "should" in this instance. :) It's
    up to *you*. All the motivations you've listed are indeed valid, but do
    not represent a comprehensive list. For example, one motivation you
    didn't mention is that of inviting a friendly acquaintance into *your*
    home. :) My recommendation is that one's first evocation be in this
    spirit of friendship instead of "wanting" or "needing". Greet the
    entity mentally where they "reside" first and once a rapport has been
    established, see if they are agreeable to visiting *your* home through
    an evocation.

    >> Bardon states, "When the magician has become sufficiently acquainted
    with the zone girdling the earth, so that he has contacts with some of
    its heads, especially the masters of magic, he may start trying to get
    into contact with intelligences of the Moon sphere." How many spirits
    should one come in contact with to become "sufficiently acquainted with
    the zone girdling the earth"? I know that in some areas of PME Bardon
    seems to imply that to master the sphere one needs to evoke quite a
    number, if not all of the heads of that particular sphere. Which
    sometimes boggles my mind given the number of spirits that Bardon lists
    throughout PME. If he was in personal contact with each of these
    spirits...even over the course of many years it would almost seem as if
    he would be performing an evocation or more every day over the course of
    at several years. <<

    :) Evocation is meant to produce an expansion of consciousness -- of
    *self* awareness. This expansion of self occurs primarily as a result
    of the mental elevation that is required in order to establish mental
    contact with the entity. This expansion however, is *integrated* into
    the lower levels of self *through* the evocation ritual. So as your
    self-awareness expands to encompass higher and higher levels of that
    specific mental zone within its experience of 'self', more and more of
    the overall zone is encompassed. Thus one doesn't need to encompass all
    the "heads" of a zone, one after the other individually. At a certain
    point, there is a quantum shift in which you suddenly encompass the
    entire zone within your self-awareness and it is then that you are ready
    to begin work with the next zone in sequence.

    >> Personally when I work an evocation, I often feel physically drained,
    and usually quite hungry afterwords. In contrast to this sense of
    physical fatigue there is an extreme sense of peace and exhileration
    upon the astral and mental bodies... <<

    This is because you are using your body's own energy instead of drawing
    all the energy required *from the universe*. Or, if you *are* drawing
    energy from the universe, then you are resisting its flow somewhere in
    your astra-physical body.

    This is one reason why Bardon placed evocation after completion of Step
    Eight. By that point in IIH, you are capable of accumulating and
    condensing whatever sort or amount of energy required for an evocation,
    directly from the universe.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
