40 Meditation Exercises as listed in the Path of Purification

By Bhikkhu Khantipalo

 

If one has no meditation teacher from whom one may request a meditation subject, then one has to rely upon one’s knowledge of one’s character in order to prescribe for oneself a suitable meditation. There are forty meditation exercises (kammatthana) noted by the great teacher Buddhaghosa as being suited to certain types of character. For the purposes of meditation, he considers six characters: faithful, intelligent, and speculative (in which the skillful roots of non-greed, non-hatred and non-delusion are variously dominant); and greedy, hating, and deluded (in which greed, hatred and delusion, the unskillful roots, are dominant). The trouble here is twofold: firstly, very few “pure” types can be found, most people being mixtures of two or more of them — and moreover ever-changing mixtures; and secondly, it is rather difficult to judge which class one’s character belongs to since one’s own delusion and pride are apt to blur one’s judgments.

Candles as Tools of Magick

Select four candles in colours representing the four elements. Try using red for Fire, brown for Earth, blue for Water and white for Air. Anoint the candles with oil. Decide on your goal or request and which candle is best for represents the need. (ie money, business, material objects, grounding matters would be Earth. Matters of sex, breaking habits, purification, protection, strength would be Fire. Matters of love, psychic awareness, healing, friendships, beauty, spirituality, meditation would be Water. Matters of movement, travel, communication, teachings would be Air.)

Acacallis

by Dr Alena Trckova-Flamee, Ph.D.

 
According to the myths, Acacallis (Akakallis) was one of the daughters of the Cretan king Minos and his wife Pasiphae. She was the sister of Xenodike, Ariadne and Phaedra. She became the first love of Apollo, when this god with his sister Artemis came for a purification reason from Aigialeia to Crete. Acacallis was just at Tarrha visiting the house of the seer Carmanor, who was a family member from the side of her mother. There at Tarrha in Western Crete, Apollo met her for the first time and there she became his beloved one. Their relation did not stay without effects and Acacallis faced the consequences when she became pregnant.
