Notes

Book of Power

A template for brainwashing: The initiate's opinions are formed by a "plumb line" that leads them to "voluntarily" accept certain conclusions. Notice the reference to a "plumb line." They say we are encouraged to come to our own conclusions, but the "plumb line" leads us in a direction. We become masters only if we follow the line.


"(The Hermit, Wise man whose influence works discreetly and irresistibly. The Master who has reached complete mastership.) As he works the Initiate reflects. He refuses to act like a machine. The artist is interested in his work, which he loves and understands because he feels it. Rules are not imposed upon him superficially, for he has assimilated them by the process of thoughtful and logical justification. The 'Plumb Line' has directed his mind into the inner area of things, towards Esotericism which escapes the uninitiated."[1]

Success in following the "right" path, a path laid out by the plumb line.

"By comparing this card with two others, the sixth and the twelfth, we shall see that the beardless young man in the former (6th) has chosen the right path. Experience won in the labour of life has rendered him a prudent old man, and prudence united to wisdom will safely lead him to the higher level, which he is anxious to attain (12th card)." [2]
