Using Finger Gestures To Anchor Magical Processes
An astounding practice in magical work is to use finger gestures to anchor magical acts. However, it takes some time and effort to firmly root these gestures in the system. In general, I would say it takes at least 30 times of doing a finger gesture when successfully performing an act to get it fully in the system. For example, if you are practicing vacancy of mind and going into a state of thoughtlessness where you mind is open but the racing thoughts are turned off, you can position your fingers in a certain way every time you achieve vacancy of mind. After each successful achievement of vacancy of mind, do the finger gesture. Do this thirty times. After thirty times of doing the gesture from a state of vacancy of mind, you can then just use the finger gesture to achieve vacancy of mind without going through the meditative process.
This is a very powerful shortcut! Ideally, you would want to do this with all sorts of steps in Franz Bardon’s Initiation Into Hermetics. Each time you feel fully charged with the fire element, for example, do a finger gesture. Now, it could get confusing doing finger gestures for many things, as there may be only so many ways to position your fingers comfortably. Feel free to use your body, too – there is no reason to confine this to the use of hands. Do whatever works, whatever you are comfortable with, whatever you can remember.
I have a finger gesture anchoring an ideal state. I did this many times. More than thirty actually. It is when I am fully charged and balanced with all elements and have invoked the Godhead, the Akasha. I can do this gesture and immediately get in to this state. There is a caveat to all of this, though. Finger gestures can expire. Relying solely on the finger gesture for months and months can make the finger gesture sort of go stale. So, then, you would need to start again, but you wouldn’t need to do it as much as the first time. You would just have to work again about getting into the desired state and anchoring the finger gesture. Use your own judgment.
This hack is so effective that it is almost easy to dismiss and think it’s too good to be true. All the work of Franz Bardon’s curriculum can seem daunting. And, of course, the hardest part of this is getting into the desired state thirty times to have the opportunity to anchor this finger gesture.
Many people get stuck early on with the visualization exercises. But as I have said before, I am not a Bardon purist, so to speak. I think some exercises are more important than others. In the beginning of the work, I’d say the most important exercises are vacancy of mind, autosuggestion, and the pore breathing with the elements.
The visualization exercises do indeed increase will-power. But if you are stuck on them for a very long time, go ahead and start pore breathing with the fire element. More fire means more will-power and control with the visualization exercises. More importantly, it’s my belief that the visualization exercises are kind of a precursor to the psychic abilities learned later on in the steps. The visualization exercises give you the psychological awareness about what is a projection of your own mind versus what is receiving a true psychic message. But a healthy degree of psychological awareness will also suffice for this lesson. And after coaching hundreds of clients, I have never once encountered a client who is not psychologically aware. People that are drawn to Franz Bardon’s work have a high degree of psychological awareness.
But…back to the issue at hand – remember, anything, even work with the soul mirror, can be anchored with finger gestures. You can be staring at your list of good and bad traits for the soul mirror and use a finger gesture. Then, throughout the day, you can use this finger gesture to more easily remember what qualities you are trying to transmute and the good qualities you have that can boost your self-esteem.
Getting to the point in the work where you are able to access the Akasha, or God, is the big stick. Once you have that, the elements will be balanced, as the elements all come from God. So anchoring God becomes the name of the game. And being able to use the finger gesture for being filled with God can boost and transform your entire day, month, and year.
In conclusion, remember this tactic. It’s not to be overlooked. And it can save you valuable time and greatly accelerate your practice. Many blessings, my friends!
