The Magus of Strovolos - The Uncustomary Book Review

4 6 ELEMENTALS
She briefly explained to Iacovos her problem and her fears of
lying under the surgeon's lancet. Iacovos tried to allay her
anxiety with comforting words and then asked her to sit on a
chair. He then placed his hands over her head, closed his eyes,
and breathed deeply. He remained in that position for about
five minutes.
'Think of me when you are about to have the operation and
I will be there,' Iacovos said to the woman.
'Just what did you do to her?' I asked with curiosity after the
woman thanked him and joined the others in the yard.
'I just built a therapeutic elemental,' Iacovos said confidently.
'The patient will think of me just before the operation. When
she does that the elemental I created will become activated and
will do exactly what I would do were I to be there in person.
Her thought will create the contact between her and myself.
The elemental will absorb energy from my etheric-double to
work.'
'What will you be thinking at that moment?' I asked.
'I will perhaps feel some exhaustion or I will become absentminded.
It is hard to explain.'
'How did you build that elemental?' I probed further as I
noticed that most of Daskalos' students had already gone.
'I have employed certain properties of etheric vitality to
shape an elemental which will be appropriate for her situation.'
'You mean one therapeutic elemental differs from another?' I
asked again.
'Certainly. It differs in terms of its shape and the intensity of
desire it encloses.'
'What exactly did you do at that moment when the woman
asked you for help?'
i created a white-blue ball of light which I projected on her
etheric-double. That ball of light will become energized the
moment the patient thinks of me.'
'Sounds very simple,' I said wryly.
it is not as simple as it seems. You must employ intense
concentration to build such an elemental. Otherwise it will be
dissolved.'
'Come,' I said, 'Daskalos is waiting for us.'
