5. And after each of these invocations, thou shalt give the sign of silence,
   and afterward thou shalt perform the adoration that is taught thee by thy
   Superior. And then do thou compose Thyself to holy meditation.

6. Also, it is better if in these adorations thou assume the God-form of
   Whom thou adorest, as if thou didst unite with Him in the adoration of
   That which is beyond Him.

7. Thus shalt thou ever be mindful of the Great Work which thou hast 
   undertaken to perform, and thus shalt thou be strengthened to pursue it
   unto the attainment of the Stone of the Wise, the Summum Bonum, True 
   Wisdom and Perfect Happiness.
