    Dear Rawn,

    >>>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.<<<

    Knew I forgot a motivation or two in my little short list. The one
    that you mentioned is perhaps one of the ones that I use the most as
    well.

    As far as "needing" goes. If a magician that is truely able to perform
    an evocation as per Bardon's pre-requisits, then he really doesn't
    need any help performing a certian task as he can do it on his own. A
    need for information is a slightly different matter in my opinion
    given that quite a few of the earthzone spirits have access to quite a
    few of those hidden little secrets that are still not widely known.

    >>>:) 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.<<<

    When I perfomred an evocation shortly after I wrote this last e-mail I
    came to a similar conclusion. Namely that trying to encompass each
    zone, or trying to merge with the divine is quite a bit like trying to
    master the akasha. To try to encompass one magnitude of infinity one
    can not do this with small steps. At the same time, however, those
    first small steps are necessary so that one is prepaired to make the
    gigantic leap to encompass all of infinity.

    Now, how should one approach the particular zone? I mean, if you first
    start with a particular zone do you start with trying to contact those
    "heads" that encompass a vast majority of the zone, or do you start
    off with the lesser spirits? Start off by contacting lower-middle
    management or the CEO as it where? I know Bardon suggests introducing
    yourself slowly and gradually to the zone.

    >>>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.<<<

    Yes, that would definetly appear to be the case. Though in recent
    evocations this doesn't seem to be the case.

    Thank you for your response.

    Love and Live well,
    Peter Reist
