The Duelist

When I first began my astral practice with my initial, halting steps using the Silva Mind Control method, the Promontory was where I first invoked my counselors, which is the term for the inner intelligences you contact to guide you with further explorations. Now it is my preferred point of entry whenever I visit the Island, the little corner of the astral that I call home.

The Promontory is, like other promontories, a high point of land jutting out over the ocean. However, the only landmark, and one of the first things visitors see when they enter my little astral nook is simply called the Tree, a large tree that I like to lean against that provides plenty of shade when the sun is high.
Sometimes I go to the astral simply to spend time here by myself, to meditate and collect my thoughts. Other times it’s just a landmark, a stopover before I head to my actual destination, like the Aleph or the Laboratory.
