Mepsitahl, I call you forth from your Neptunian sphere and ask that

you show yourself and that you teach me the secrets of Seership. I wish
to see you, I wish to hear you, I wish for you to come."
Move your eyes immediately from the sigil to the mirror,
pushing your mind deeper into receptivity, your sight penetrating the
glass and seeing nothing but the inner blackness. Direct your mental
focus towards Mepsitahl, Rather than her image forming inside your
head, see it form inside of the mirror. If your physical eyes cannot see
her shape in the mirror, simply let your mind and intuition discern
her features and colors as her essence fills the mirror. Either way, the
vision should always originate in the mirror and should then be detected
by the senses and interpreted by the mind. You are not conjuring in
your imagination some figure or scene, but are receiving the
impressions of a thing that you could never previously have known.
When the image of Mepsitahl is seen with clarity in the mirror,
either by the eyes or the mind, you are to greet her, welcome her to
your Temple, as she has surely traveled through unseen worlds to be
there. Simply state, "I welcome you to this Temple and thank you for
coming." At this, she may begin to speak, causing you to face one of the
most difficult aspects of interplanar communication: seeing the vision
and hearing the voice at once. Unlike communication with humans,
entities from other realms of existence must use separate mechanisms
or energy currents to be seen and to be heard. These different energy
currents are also received, interpreted, and translated to a useable
format by different parts of the mind and the brain. For these reasons,
at the beginning of an astral conversation, there may seem to be a bit
of lag; Mepsitahl's mouth will move, an energy vibration will register
as her voice, and seconds later, her words will take on a vocal resonance
in your mind, forming an oration that you can understand. As your
brain becomes conditioned to this form of interpretation, you may
experience the reverse effect: the spirit's voice will be heard giving you
instruction or answering your questions before the spirit's mouth begins
to move. For the time being, simply listen to what she says, allow your
mind to translate and deliver the message, write it down in your
notebook, and respond to her if applicable. As the conversation
progresses, and as your abilities progress with practice, your sight and
your hearing will naturally align, and you will find communication
with these entities to be far more effective than communicating with
