    Dear Pax,

    Re: strong emotions and the "contagion" effect

    Whilst the LBRP and other similar rituals may have
    some beneficial cleansing effects, I belive that the
    aim of anyone seriously interested in pursing occult
    studies is to master certain forces so that these
    rituals eventually become unnecessary.

    One of the strongest forces that any occult practioner
    should attempt to master is his/her own emotions - the
    aim being that, ultimately, one chooses one's emotions
    with intention rather than simply reacting
    animalistically to certain situations or reflecting
    the emotions of those around them. If one succeeds in
    this, one can consciously choose to not reflect the
    emotions of others, even if they are very strong (in
    the case of your patients).

    Rawn Clark has (very) recently posted a set of
    exercises on the BardonPraxis yahoo group that sets
    out a number of exercises that will help one to
    accomplish this. These exercises closely follow some
    of the early exercises provided by Franz Bardon in
    Initiation to Hermetics.

    My personal opinion is that, whilst the LBRP (and
    similar) has its uses, for some practising ceremonials
    I feel that it becomes a crutch and, eventually, a
    hindrance to one's continuing magickal progress.
    Nevertheless, whilst learning to control one's
    emotional body the LBRP would be of valuable
    assistance.

    Kindest regards

    Dan
