I. What This Program Builds

The Intermediate Program raises the third and fourth floors of the temple: the emotions and the soul. It keeps the whole of the Basic Program in the day, shorter and stronger, and adds the voice. Vibration, the most effective means the Temple teaches for cleaning and empowering the soul, takes the place of visualization alone.

Its order is the order of the pages themselves: “Learn to feel each chakra before trying to open or empower them” (The Chakras). Awareness first, with the Chakra Focus Meditation and the Aura Awareness & Empowerment Meditation; then the opening of the soul and the alignment of the chakras (Opening The Chakras); then their empowerment.

II. The Program, Floor by Floor

III. A Day at Each Pace

The chakra work of the day follows where you stand in the order above: the awareness levels, then the opening, then the alignment and the empowering.

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.

At the low pace the 40-day working of protection takes the place of the morning chakra work until it is done. Never begin the Aura Empowering Meditation before bedtime.

IV. Aura Cleaning and Protection at This Level

At this level the aura is cleaned and protected by vibration on the rosary.

• Cleaning. Vibrate the Sun mantra, SURYA or RAUM, on the rosary while you visualize yourself engulfed in brilliant white-gold light, and focus the vibration into your whole soul (How to Clean Your Aura).
• Protection. Build the aura of protection on the rosary: white-gold energy and the affirmation, 108 times, every day for 40 days; another 40 where much energy is needed. One must never skip a day (Most Workings Are Not Just a One Shot Deal).
• Defence. Returning Curses Part 2 and Fighting Back, when needed.

Seal a working or a meditation with AUM: 9 times at first, 18 or 27 as you advance. Quality matters far more than quantity.

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, a hymn to Zeus and the Gods: the Orphic Hymn to Zeus, or the hymn of the God you work with.
• Each night, review the day in the Pythagorean Day Meditation, and close it with a hymn to the Gods.
• Each week, a theurgic ritual (the rituals of the Gods), and Meditation on Zeus after it.
• Each day, write your practice, the counts of the rosary, and what you felt. Note which colours and which chakras answer and which resist.
• Each month, read the checks below with self-honesty.

VI. Theurgy and Magick at This Level

Theurgy. The theurgic rituals and the hymns take the place of prayer (the rituals of the Gods, Ancient Hymn Library). Healing, once the soul has power. The Magickal Squares once all the chakras are open: 36 days in the Sun’s hours, never a day skipped. Drawing Down Energy From Stars and Luminaries, for one experienced in breathing in energy. Consecrating and Empowering Ritual Tools.

Magick. As your life needs it: workings on the rosary for 40 days (The Zevist Mala), timed by the Planetary Hours and the Moon, with obstacles dissolved before the main goal (Overcoming Obstacles). Strengthen your protection before every working, and align the chakras after it.

VII. What to Expect

• Power brings responsibility. At a certain level, those who offend you meet with misfortune, loved ones too. Anger must be ruled (Power).
• Resistance in workings. Crises may come during a 40-day cycle and try to break it. They mean the meditations are working.
• Go by feel. If a chakra is overstimulated, end the exercise and back off (Opening the Soul).
• The buzz grows. The energy after each session grows stronger with every month of practice (The Powers of Meditation).

VIII. The Checks of Mastery

Move on when every check is met and has held for weeks.

• Each of the 7 main chakras holds at Level 4 of the Chakra Focus Meditation for 3 minutes and more, without effort.
• You can summon the whole chakra system, the main and the secondary chakras, with a single thought.
• You perceive, expand and fill your aura at will.
• The Opening of the Soul is complete, the chakras are aligned, and each is easily felt as active.
• You vibrate a full rosary of 108 with the mind on the work from the first bead to the last.
• At least one 40-day working is complete, without a day missed.
• Energy circulates when you call it.
• Anger is ruled, and the nightly review shows mostly good days.
• The 36 Ethics have been meditated in order.
• The body meets the markers of the Intermediate Level, among them 30 to 45 minutes of seated meditation.
• Void Meditation holds for 15 minutes and more, and study by method runs on its own.
• Prayer has become Theurgy: the hymns and the theurgic rituals are part of your days.

Rule the emotions, empower the soul, and the temple is ready for its last floors.
