    Dear RM,

    >> Advanced Hermetic practitioners have integrated the three levels
    within themselves and can affect the three Planes all at once or
    individually. We beginners on the other hand don't usually manage much
    inter-plane interaction either internally or externally. <<

    The latter part of your statement is somewhat inaccurate. EVERY human
    being exists *because of* "inter-plane interaction". What
    differentiates the magician is that with magic we are interacting
    *consciously* and *intentionally*. This is what makes our interaction
    "magical" -- the ingredient of conscious intention.

    >> I suspect that one of the reasons Franz Bardon starts us off with
    Mental Plane magick so early in our
    studies is to begin the process of opening the channels that link the
    planes within ourselves. <<

    More specifically, it's because the magician's mental body directs all
    acts of magic. Therefore, the work begins with the training of the
    mental body: the Step One Mental exercises train mental discipline; the
    Astral exercises train self-analysis (a mental process of examining the
    personality and its emotional roots); and the Physical exercises are all
    directed *by the mind/mental body*. So, with Step One your mental body
    is focused upon your mind, upon your astral personality and upon your
    physical body.

    >> I am guessing that Bardon starts us off with Theurgical exercises
    because (a) it's more likely to work with the relatively weak
    capabilities of most beginners, and (b) there are no ethical issues
    concerning other people's free will and so on (I imagine this is
    particularly important while we are still struggling to transform our
    personal negative traits). <<

    Self-mastery is what enables one's ability to directly influence the
    external world. Furthermore, if the magician is not in perfect control
    of their own self, then control of 'other' is unpredictable, erratic and
    often destructive in the end. A magician must also be able to
    *directly* influence the mental plane *before* being capable of
    *directly* influencing the astral and physical levels of density.

    >> In addition to the usual mundane efforts in support of that goal I
    was wondering if it would be advisable to "put out a mental call"
    through the Akasha inviting (on the Mental Plane) others into my life
    who have the potential to become new friends. If this is an advisable
    use of Step 1 magick, how would I go about doing it? Should I imprint
    the Akasha of the air around me with the "call" or should I try to
    visualize the mental plane (perhaps as some misty realm) and use my will
    to send out my call though that level of reality? Does anyone have any
    suggestions? <<

    I suggest that you experiment with the ideas you've brought up and see
    *for yourself* if they work, how well they work, etc. :)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
