I. What This Program Builds

The Advanced Program raises the last floors of the temple. It completes the soul, through the alignment and empowerment of every chakra and the mastery of the elements, and it opens the way of the Spirit. The work here is done more and more by the will: energy is drawn in without the breath, and protection holds without trance or visualization.

Its pages are gated, and their gates are kept. The Djed Pillar “assumes absolute mastery of the three Divine Triangles” (The Djed Pillar); the elements are “very advanced and can be very dangerous” for one who is unwell or does not know himself (Invoking the Elements). Where a practice will not come, return and master what came before.

II. The Program, Floor by Floor

III. A Day at Each Pace

Work one element per session, and one new practice at a time. The day’s work follows where you stand on the two roads of this program: the chakras (alignment, the Triangles, the Djed Pillar) and the elements.

The times are flexible, and each can be far shorter: on a busy day a few focused minutes of each practice keep the day unbroken. Walking is listed in the day, and it is not counted in the time.

After invoking an element, meditate 12 to 24 hours later on how you feel, and write it down. Begin no working under a void of course Moon.

IV. Aura Cleaning and Protection at This Level

At this level the aura is cleaned and protected by the will, and the strongest vibrations serve whenever they are needed.

• Protection. The aura of protection lives in the aura itself. The High Priest describes the end of this road: “I am to the point where I just consciously breathe in energy, and I can do it easily at any time, with no trance or visualization” (Aura of Protection). Reinforce it before every ritual, summoning and working.
• Cleaning. SURYA on the rosary in the Sun, 216 times rather than 108 (Returning Curses Part 2); and after any working of destructive energy, the aura cleaned with white-gold light without fail.
• Detaching. Unwanted people and energies cut from the aura with the astral knife and the vibration TH, the chakras and the aura sealed, and a rosary of the Sun mantra after (How to Detach Unwanted People/Energies from Your Aura).
• Spinning. The chakras spun at the speed of light raise the vibration of the soul, which protects from misfortune and disease (Advanced Chakra Spinning).

V. Theurgy, Hymns and Self-Observation

From prayer to Theurgy. At this level prayer is replaced by Theurgy and the hymns to the Gods. By this point one understands that prayer is done with a pure heart and with technique. It is more than words of asking: it is communication with the Divine, through the theurgic rituals, the hymns and psalms, and direct interaction with the Gods.

The hymns are in the Ancient Hymn Library of ToZ Rituals: 142 hymns to the Gods in Greek and English, with their pronunciation and a guide to praying them. A hymn is spoken on its own in place of another prayer, or within the prayer of a ritual. The theurgic rituals stand beside them (the rituals of the Gods), The Grand Ritual of Zeus among them.

• Each morning and night, the hymns to the Gods, the hymn of Proclus to all the Gods among them. Thank the Gods at the end of each session.
• In the rituals, direct communion with the Gods: the rituals of the Gods, The Grand Ritual of Zeus among them, and the Advanced Ritual.
• Each night, review the day, and test whether each feeling is your own.
• Each day, keep the journal of the elements: what was invoked, how many breaths, and how you felt 12 to 24 hours later.
• Each season, check the body’s markers, and teach: teaching shows where your own understanding is weak.

VI. Theurgy and Magick at This Level

Theurgy. The Grand Ritual of Zeus and the rituals of the Gods, with their hymns; the Advanced Ritual, in which each step of the ritual is understood and done as theurgy; Evocation and Invocation, the two arts of divine contact; and the Gods met in the ritual and in the meditation that follows it.

Magick. As your life needs it, now with the elements (The Elements and Magick): “Mastering the elements is one of the highest forms of magick.” The powers of this level, Healing, Telekinesis and Pyrokinesis, are trained daily until mastered. Evoke energy when a working is for others; invoke it for your own goals.

VII. What to Expect

• The elements act hours later. Fever or sleeplessness after fire, low mood after water. Keep to 7 breaths, breathe the element out when unsure, and correct with its opposite (Invoking the Elements).
• The wings of the soul. They may appear, often unexpectedly: a sign of power and of the soul’s liberation (Wings of the Soul).
• Return when blocked. If the Djed Pillar does not rise, return and perfect the meditations before it.
• Health first. If you are unwell, turn back from the elements to safer meditations, and resume at a slow pace.

VIII. The Checks of Mastery

There is no program after this one. Its checks mark the stages of the climb.

• The alignment is total and the flow is flawless.
• Each Triangle comes into awareness at once, as a whole.
• The Djed Pillar rises as one column of living light, without effort.
• Each element is invoked and breathed out, evoked and invoked, and the elements are held in balance.
• You draw in energy by the will alone, without the breath.
• Your protection holds with no trance or visualization.
• A 40-day working of the Words of Power is complete without a day missed.
• The body holds daily yoga and a 60-minute seat.
• Study is a way of life, and you teach what you know.
• You commune with the Gods directly, in the theurgic rituals and the hymns, with a pure heart and with technique.
• The Spirit is known in its parts, and the whole practice has become a way of life.

Complete the soul, and the summit is reached by the one who built every floor.
