Repetition
There is power in repetition. Although incorrectly applied in religion, in life this armor is indispensible. One must repeatedly enwrap oneself.
(LMG II, p 50)
Since ancient times, people have been advised at the hour of turmoil to repeat a short invocation and by rhythmic repetitions to repulse the wave of influences. Later, these measures deteriorated into the senseless repetition of religious words, nevertheless the principle remains sound. Sometimes our spirit demands certain reiterations or enumerations.
During the best periods of priesthood’s reign the chosen words were: “Adonai,” “Ishtar,” “Alleluia,” and “Aum.” Also, the repetition of the alphabet or of figures was in use. Of course, actually the power is not in the words themselves but in the creation of waves.
The fact is that sometimes through the invocation of the spirit a useful wave can be created. (LMG II, pp 139-140)
