Cara Soror, 17 Astral Journey- -How to Do It How to Verify Your Experiences Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law_ There is no better way to training the memory than the practice of the Holy Qabalah. The whole mechanism of memory depends on joining up independent data. You must go on adding a little to little, always joining the simple impressions by referring them to others which are more general; and so on until the whole of your universe is arranged like the brain and the nervous system. This system in fact, becomes the Universe. When you have got everything properly correlated, your central consciousness understands and controls every tiniest detail. But you must begin at the beginning-you go out for a walk, and the first thing you see is a car; that represents the Atu VII, the Chariot , referred to Cancer. Then you come to a fi sh monger , and notice certain crustacea, very malachostomous. This comes under the same sign of Cancer. The next thing you notice is an amber-coloured dress in Swan and Edgar's; amber also is the colour of Cancer in the King's Scale. Now then you have a set of three impressions which is joined together by the fact that they all belong to the Cancer class; experience will soon teach that you can remember all three very much more clearly and accurately than you could anyone of the three singly. You have not increased the burden on your memory , but diminished it. 141
