ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΜΖ Windmill-Words in Liber CCCXXXIII, The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley.

“Dhyana gets rid of the Ego.
Samadhi gets rid of the Soul Impersonal.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “Samadhi is the shadow of the eclipse of Sol.”
  2. “In the common practice of meditation the idea is to reject all impressions, but here is an opposite practice, very much more difficult, in which all are accepted. This cannot be done at all unless one is capable of making Dhyana at least on any conceivable thing, at a second’s notice; otherwise, the practice would only be ordinary mind-wandering.”
  3. “Yama and Niyama get rid of Ethical consciousness. } Voluntary ‘Breaks'”
  4. “Pratyhara gets rid of the Objective. Dharana gets rid of the Subjective.”
  5. “Asana gets rid of Anatomy-consciousness. Pranayama gets rid of Physiology-consciousness. } Involuntary ‘Breaks'”
