Proceeding right along with Lesson 2, I was quite heartened to learn that the author and I share similar views regarding psychic attacks. For starters, we agree that most people who believe they are under psychic attack, seldom truly are. This has been my experience also, but how do you talk someone out of something they truly believe? I don't see any point in it, I rather give people advice on how to protect themselves rather than to try to talk them out of their feelings of psychic victimization.
The second thing we agree on is that the few people who are truly under psychic attack, are often under an unintentional attack from the person doing the attacking. This is because if someone is VERY angry at you, they might not be aware that they are sending a lot of angry energy your way, making you feel as though you are "under attack". Of course, in a perfect world, we would seek to not anger anyone this much, but misunderstandings happen and sometimes it's just the person's character to become overly upset with real or imagined wrongs.
Those of us who know how to do a psychic attack on another, have also learned why we shouldn't resort to this, even when provoked. No bueno for us. Actions have consequences. So not worth it. The book provides a small ritual to perform when one feels they might be under psychic attack, which should be immediately followed by the LBRP.
Additionally, Lesson 2 introduces four daily Sun salutations (Liber Resh vel Helios) which are four daily adorations to the Sun common to most Magick practitioners, performed upon awakening, noon, sunset, and before retiring. I have to admit that I find saluting the Sun and invoking Egyptian "deities" a bit of a far-fetched thing for me to do, but I DID agree to follow this as verbatim as possible, except when it is incredibly inconvenient or incredibly silly (like wearing robes). I'll have to sort out how to do this during lunch, as I work M-F. Maybe I'll just look at the sun and salute it militarily? LOL

And on a sad note, I just learned today that the author, Donald Michael Kraig, passed away this past March after a short, two month battle with pancreatic cancer.
