Dear Siron, >> I think there is not much about this exercise on the internet that I *didn't* read :) << ;-) >> But in the end it was not really what I read about this exercise, I think what helped most was that I thought about this over quite a long time (several months). I didn't really practice at that time, but it always was in the back of my mind. Then when I started practising again, it was a complete different "feeling". Its like... that I knew this exercise, that I already spent time with it seemed to make it easier, even though I didn't have any success. Now that I have a foundation that I can build on, I think it is only a matter of time and practise. << Excellent! A wonderful aspect of the sub-conscious mind is that it keeps working at problems even when we've consciously turned our attention elsewhere. This is something we can actually use, willfully and with intention. For example, when you face a specific problem and aren't achieving any resolution by thinking about it, *intentionally* turn it over to your sub-conscious mind and do something entirely different. Later, when your mind returns to the problem, spend some time examining it anew and quite often you'll find that you will see something you didn't see before. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 26 Dec 2002 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com
