Remember that the way we live is only habitual, and not necessarily our normal or our true potential state. The Most Powerful Way to Work With the Miracle Tree Contrary to much that we have all learned, tried, practiced, in our spiritual lives, the most powerful way to work spiritually is while walking around with eyes open. When we do this, we are consciously participating in the holism of our Planet, Moon, and solar system. We do not need to withdraw into a trance or a vision, though visionary work is often used in Qabalah, and can be helpful.
This 50 X The Miracle Tree perennial Wisdom finds its place in Magical (practical) Qabalah, and is immensely useful to us in our work with the Tree of Life. In this book, we approach the Miracle Tree through forms. Some forms are more ceremonial and outward focused; others are more contemplative and inwardly focused. They represent nothing more or less than the tidal flow of spiritual forces into and out of the human body. Providing we use this idea as our ground, there is no false division between Magical and Mystical.
Some, such as Entering Stillness, which is a major form (with variants in all spiritual traditions worldwide), can be used before and 62 The Miracle Tree after any other form, as an opening or closing phase. We will return to this idea of combining forms again. Before then, go for a few walks. At this stage we have two forms, Rising Light and Walking Participation. To close this chapter, we will work with the most powerful form of all, the one that we learn at the beginning of our Qabalistic practices, and which remains with us for all of our lives.
