METHODS FOR CREATING ELEMENTARl:ES

An "elemental" Is produced on the base of deliberate thoughts, and works mainly
on the mental plane. An "elementary" is far more penetrating am,i subtle, and Is
created from one or s.:vcral el~mcnu.
An clemenrary should only be given one rask at a tlme, otherwise it may
become confused. It mun be made of elements &ultablc for the job, and It must be
given a name at the momem ,,f creation. The greater the loading, the beuer the
elementary. Always keep them under control: otherwise you might become
responsible karmically for a vampire!
Elemcntaries manufactured for your own use can be created through your own
body, bu1 those dcstln~"<l for use by others should be created by projection of the
elements directly from the earth. You should f'uc the method for calling up an ele-
mentary at the rime it is created.
There are rwo fundamental methods for creation of dcmentaries.
• Method •I: Projection of one element into a ready-made form.
• Method •2: Prpjcction of sc,•cral clements in10 a ready-made form.

Method # I for P.roduclng an Elementary

I . Place the "form object" before you; a lamp, ball, ring, etc. will do.
2. Fill the form object with the element appropriate to Its ra.;k. Repeat again
and again for a strong response.
3. lmpregna·te rhe doll witl, your Jcsirc for accomplishing the cask.
4. Simultaneously, give it a name.
5. Simultaneously, allm 11" lifcumc.
6. Drnw 1he elementary <lUl und send It on its way m the 1&k, ordering 1t t o
return "home" when It is finished with its task.
7. After sending the elementary off, /~1 about it! Otherwise, your thoughts
may in1eriere with ic., work.
8. When you think the job might be accomplished, use o pendulum to check
whether your elementary ha., returned, You can call it back for reloading.
9. When the elementary Is back in the form object you may wrap the object
in black si lk, as silk 15 n p,-ychic insulawr. However, ,f you wrap rho object
when the clcmcnrnry is away It will nu1 be >1blc 10 return ond will die.
Thi.s method will suffice if the job co be accomplished i:s • simple one. If
not, you n eed a more contplex elementary.

STORING THE ELEMENTARY'$ ESSENCE

IN A TIBETAN KYLICHORE

the cleme nt11I is to he bound to• Joli or a mil.man. 0.:1crminc the stor•
age locaci,)n; n must nor come inro contact with nrnngers.
2. Draw a la rge circle on a piece of paper, and Inscribe two squares wichm ii.
making an eight-pointed star which symbolizes both the positive and the
negative aspects of all the elements. Draw a sign repre..<enring rhe ele•
ITlcntary in t:hc middle of the octogrJm. The elementary will stand at this
spot. (S..·c illusummn on pngc 228.)
J . Engrave t he same s,gn o n round piece of mewl abo ut one half inch in
II
diameter. We no w hnvc the great Kyl lcho re and the small Kyhchorc
(Kylichore: u place for scon1gc and prcservau on of the elcmenwry). Pl:,ce
the small Kylichore in che center of the great Kylichme.
4. Call the elementary b1• the name you have chosen. bearing in mlnJ nll of
Step I above.
5. Assuming that this is a flame elementary, sir in the as.ma pooition nnJ
inhale the fire element, impregnating it with your desire. (Animate le
afterward with your imagination.) Trans-fer the accumulated fire clement
into the center of the smal l Kylichore. Repeat chis again and again; a
spark will begin ro grow.
6. When you grow tired, send the elemental off to its storage place in a sec•
rion of wall, a do ll, o r a talisman, for instance. Puc the small Kyli<:bo re In
a safe pla-ce, fold the large o ne and put it away.
7. When you wane co continue charging, spread pu1 the greai Kylicho rc,
place the smoll o ne tn the center and call the elemeniary's name.
And rhc name will reappear. Continue as before , frequentl y adding to
the llnm<!.
8. When it is large enough, transmute rhe llame hltl' the desired sh•pc.

4. Projec1 the elements as indicnted in Method #2.
5. Cull i1 10 Hfe as in Method ,2.
6. It is often advisable to store the elementary in the wall behind the picture.
Otherwise, your visitors will begin seeing the image move as it gets
scronger, and you may pick up an unfortunate reputation.
7 The sam~ method applies to statues :lnd bu.cu.

h is not advisable to animate pictures with great sexual appeal because the
dcmcnrnry could possibly come ro control you.

DISSOLUT ION OF ELEMENTARIES

Dissolutio n Procou .# I
If you give your elemencary a pre-set death date there should be no problem in
having it last too long. However. if you want to deuctivatt it ahead of time, the
following technique should be used.
I. Holding the doll m the left h:inJ, load your right hand very heavily with
akasha, so that It glows blue-black.
2. Project aka.ma. suddenly, into the heart of the doll to srop its hean and lun~-
J. Remove and dissolve the mental body into the Universal light. This dis-
solves the clcmentary's mental body.
4. Dis>olve each clement of l~s astral body, one at a time.
5. Break off hs head, catch any condensor Auid in• blotter, and bum it.
6. Bury che waxen figure in some remote location.
Dissolu tion Process #2
