Mysticism with the sub-title Meditation: The way of attainment of genius or Godhead considered as a development of the human brain. The section is essentially Crowley's system of yoga, which is designed to still the mind and enable single-pointed concentration. Yoga, as Crowley interprets it, involves several key components. The first is Asana, which is the assumption of any easy, steady and comfortable posture. Next is Pranayama, which is the control of breath, and Mantra yoga, which is the use of mantras. Pratyahara, the stilling of the thoughts so that the mind becomes quiet. Dharana is the beginning of concentration, usually on a single shape, like a triangle, which eventually leads to Dhyana, the overcoming of the distinction between object and subject, and the annihilation of the ego. The final stage is Samadhi or Enlightenment, the Union with All. Part II, Magick, deals with the accessories of ceremonial magick in detail. Subjects include: the temple, the magick circle, the altar, the scourge, dagger, and chain, the holy oil, the wand, cup, sword, pentacle, lamp, crown, robe, book, bell, lamen, and the Magick Fire. This section also includes an Interlude, which is a humorous exposition on the magical interpretations of popular nursery rhymes, such as Old Mother Hubbard and Little Bo Peep.
