This just sounds like RHP, and it's very vague, it doesn't really convey any information. A lot of people will just get stuck at certain points because they are ignorant of the best way to execute these tasks, which will just lead to them giving up or progressing so slowly that they die before they get anywhere.
Take the "control mental thoughts" part. I'm assuming the one-pointedness state of mind is a goal in that task, and being able to hold it for some time would be a requirement. But there's likely an optimal mental exercise for doing this which hasn't been stated.
This is what I mean by a "clear path" is missing. Some people are going to end up using the least effective training method for these tasks lol.
That is the final test for first stage enlightenment. It is the precondition for operating as a cell in the group light-body of enlightened beings that remain/come to work with this planet
The group light-body is a universal elemental - that is, it is sponsored from outside this galaxy - currently by the Logos of Andromeda.
The galactic Logos has direct input. Have a look!
The light-body allows group activity by various humans, ex-humans, higher devas, sea gods, exchange students, and others of which I am ignorant.

I know of one group that concentrates on reciting the sun mantra (Aum hram hrim hraum sau Surya-eh nama) while visualizing white light rays cleaning each of the 7 major chakras in turn. The is followed by chanting the seed-syllable appropriate to each chakra in turn. This is done after certain specified workings. I have it on PDF somewhere. This, however, is for cleaning the aura. I was not taught anything about cleaning the mental body apart from this.
One of the earlier mental achievements is stepping beyond binary thoughts.
I was taught my church was the only valid church and that I would go to hell if I attended a service in another denomination.
These days the word "nuance" is becoming popular in the media - perhaps in defiance of governments that like to remove "misinformation"
In the case of exercises, it would be remarkable if a single set could cover the variations in Earth humanity: genetics, culture, karma, incarnational history, adverse interference, soul type, personality type, dharma,...

I didn't get the impression the guy was asking for a unique set of exercises to cover all man's kinds. He seemed to be after A set of exercises that might be of use to him.
I am always weary of people talking about Galaxies and all that like if its a page ripped from Marvel comics.
Following Hermetic thought, I do believe the essential Man, with a capital M, was made an equal of Cosmos (read Corpus Hermeticum for reference, Adam Kadmon could be a close concept) but logos of Andromeda?
Do you imagine yourself as a white bearded sensei that always gives vague answers that neither makes sense or does help the topic at hand at all, when you write these?
Project out into the solar system and put your attention to the planet Venus - in particular the Spirit/Logos that uses the planet as its body of manifestation.
So, put your attention to Venus and visualize words next to it: "friend of Andromeda"

This is a set of values or principles for RHP that I was referring to. I suppose we could add self initiative self accountability and self responsibility, particularly for self initiates, as well as the seven hermetic laws.
There is a Dr Strange comic where a loudmouth magician challenges him because he claims he is more powerful. They do their duel, the guy wins and kills Dr Strange. Then immediately an astral portal opens with a challenger, ready to take on the new top magician. And another, and another etc. In the end the new champion of wizards breaks down, and it is revealed (of course) that all new challengers were just Dr Strange.
I think the OTO magicians (Crowley and the Fraternitas Saturni etc) had their pictures and semi public persona not necessarily for the general public. But afterwards, because the info was there, the public magician became a thing as the later generations modeled themselves after what they saw and believed to be the way a magician is.
I would say Yazata, that you, SkullTraill, Lady Eva, Koetting, Damian Echols, and authors of books on simple yet hardcore magic are today's top tier magicians that I've talked with or read their posts, read the books.
The original top tier mages .. Bardon, Regardie, Crowley, Agrippa, Barrett, Waite, Levi.
How they act , walk, talk, who's to tell.
All we know is what they have produced, blinds and all.
The best we can do is as I've said before in other posts is to treat each book as a grimoires, test then, And hang out thoughts on their every word.
My friend and Magickal partner has that book. When I'm back in Michigan will have to read it. When I came to Cali, I gave away most of my books to my friend. Brought with me Christopher's Kabbalah Magic and the Great Work of Self-Transformation, The Mystical Qabalah, ECK Wisdom on Soul Travel, my ritual diary, dream diary and my two tarot decks. And a Holy Bible.
