Question about Chapter 18 in LRM and the ritual exercise that finishes on p. 256. It says "For the first two session you devote, follow this practice with the complete MP exercise in you joined physical and visualized bodies, and then banish in both bodies, return to the chair, and close as before."
The banishing seems in conflict with the previous directions to never banish while doing the inner planes. Should it read invoke or something else? And does "close as before" mean drawing the visualized lodge back in and doing the closing gesture.

Thank you for any clarification you can give.
