The fact that you "remembered" many things as you read it is a good sign: it simply means you were ready for them. If, from time to time, you remove this amazing book from the shelves, and go once again through some of its critical passages (particularly the diagrams), you''ll find that new stuff will emerge (assuming, of course, that YOU have changed in-between). Anyway, I wish to leave with a final note: Andre & Goldian have continued their hermetic search. Some of their findings can be gleaned from Andre's only "novel", Breaking Through (1996, I believe). Therein one can read how to "enter" the STONE and meet the FIXED SALT. Greg, you are quite welcome.

Also, thanks for recommending this book. I "remembered" many things while reading it. To be placed on my shelf between Oblomov and Voyage to Arcturus. Thanks, Mirco — I added the link.

First comes the proper perception (the one that goes through objects and sees the forms), then one proceeds with the practical work, aka the proper GESTURE in time. Without a preliminary emendation of perception, it is simply impossible even to start. In the Oeuvre, the experimenter is integral part of the experiment, and must therefore be carefully prepared for the practice in the lab. PS. Just a suggestion: you may want to add a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_the_birds The very apt espression "Language of the Birds" is ubiquitous throughout hermetic literature of all ages and places (see for instance Attar's book -Conference of the Birds-).
