SUB FIGURA IX

I.

1. It is absolutely necessary that all experiments should be recorded in
detail during, or immediately after, their performance.
2. It is highly important to note the physical and mental condition of the
experimenter or experimenters.
3. The time and place of all experiments must be noted; also the state of
the weather, and generally all conditions which might conceivably have any
result upon the experiment either as adjuvants to or causes of the result, or
as inhibiting it, or as sources of error.
4. the A: A: will not take official notice of any experiments which are
not thus properly recorded.
5. It is not necessary at this stage for us to declare fully the ultimate
end of our researches; nor indeed would it be understood by those who have
not become proficient in these elementary courses.
6. The experimenter is encourages to use his own intelligence, and not to
rely upon any other person or persons, however distinguished, even among
ourselves.
7. The written record should be intelligently prepared so that others may
benefit from its study.
8. The Book "John St. John" published in the first number of the Equinox
is an example of this kind of record by a very advanced student. It is not
as simply written as we could wish, but will show the method.
9. The more scientific the record is, the better. Yet the emotions should
be noted, as being some of the conditions.
Let then the record be written with sincerity and care; thus with practice
it will be found more and more to approximate to the ideal.

Physical clairvoyance.

1. Take a pack of (78) Tarot playing cards. Shuffle; cut. Draw one card.
Without looking at it, try to name it. Write down the card you name, and the
actual card. Repeat, and tabulate results.
2. This experiment is probably easier with an old genuine pack of Tarot
cards, preferably a pack used for divination by some one who really
understood the matter.
