    Dear Chenxsi,

    >> I've read the kybalion and have some questions about the chapter on
    Rhythm. What does it mean by "raising of the Ego above the vibrations
    of the Unconscious Plane of mental activity, so that the negative swing
    of the pendulum is not manifested in consciousness?" <<

    A very good and simple example of this is the very first mental exercise
    of Step One. Therein, the initiate takes on the perspective of passive
    observer and detaches their will from the mind's chatter, in effect,
    "raising the Ego above the vibrations of the Unconscious Plane of mental
    activity".

    The "Unconscious Plane of mental activity" manifests as the mind's
    chatter and as the un-regenerated personality. So another aspect of
    "raising the Ego" is the work of character transformation and achieving
    the astral Equilibrium of the Elements. This process raises the
    personality structure from the realm of the unconsciously formed to that
    of conscious intention.

    >> Is it accomplished by having a one-pointed awareness of your physical
    senses, emotions and thoughts every second, every moment so that you
    remain detached from your personality whilst performing your daily
    tasks? <<

    No. This means transforming your personality into a positive and
    consciously intended structure. One *uses* this positivized personality
    which exists beyond the pendulum's rhythmic swing to and fro; one does
    not detach from it. This does involve a great and continuous degree of
    attention to self, or self-focus. One must always be aware of oneself.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
