Ritual of the Pillar of Fire
This ritual empowers the psyche by invoking Five different aspects of Ahura Mazda for Personal Empowerment. This brings Peace and Purity to your Mind and Environment. Regular performance of it purifies the mind, brings Inner Peace and helps improve every aspect of Life.
1. Just above your head, visualize a sphere of clear light. Know that this sphere embodies your Higher Self, the source of all potential. Vibrate the God Name AHURA MAZDA (Ah-Hoo-Rah Mah-Z-Dah) Three or Four times. There sphere should begin to feel stronger.
2. Now visualize a slender beam of light descending from the brilliance through the center of your head, and stopping at the nape of your neck. Here the beam widens into a ball of light, although not as big as the one above. At this point you should be visualizing simultaneously the brilliant sphere above your head, the small ball of light at the base of your neck, and the beam of light connecting the two. Know that this is the link between your Human Consciousness and your Higher Self, and the ball of light at your neck should grow in size and intensity. Vibrate the God Name ZNOISHTA (Z-Noy-Sh-Tah) Three or Four times.
3. Keeping the above in mind, cause a beam of light to descend from the ball of light at your neck, go down your torso, and light up the solar plexus in the form of a sphere. Know that this is your Consciousness, and the ball should increase in brightness and intensity. You may feel as if you are being warmed by an internal Sun. Vibrate the God Name AFZA (Aff-Zah) Three or Four times.
4. In the same manner, see the light descend to the area of the genitals and form a sphere. Here, regard yourself as master of your animal instincts (your "lower self") thereby, surrounded by Good Fortune. The Divine name to be vibrated Three or Four times here is HARNEKFAREH (Hah-R-Neck-Fah-Reh).
5. Again the ball of light should descend, here to form a sphere which encompasses both feet and the ground; that is, the sphere should be half above ground, covering the feet, and half below the ground, under the feet. The God Name to be vibrated Three or Four times is DATA (Day-Tah).
6. At this point there should be large spheres of light above your Head, at the Throat, at the Solar Plexus, at the Groin and at the Feet. Each sphere of light should be connected with the sphere above and below by a beam of White Light.
7. Stay in this state for as long as you desire. Then, take a deep breath and, as you exhale, visualize the images fading and becoming invisible. They are still there, but they can not now be seen. This completes the Ritual of the Pillar of Fire.
