In the teachings of Israel Regardie and the Golden Dawn (who designed the LBRP) it is actually suggested that the Qabbalistic Cross ritual be performed before and after the LBRP because it helps to integrate and ground the ritual in to your aura or the 'sphere of sensation' as they call it.
In otherwords, if you imagine water cutting out a huge canyon over many years. Rituals act like that as well in that over time as you do them they will become "impressed" in your aura and basically become passively always active and occurring. Thus you are actually training your energy to work with a particular type of intelligent energy and patterning which will aid you in accessing more of your unconscious self.
