Dear John, Welcome to BardonPraxis! :) My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 27 Dec 2002 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis ----- Original Message ----- From: "jack cardwell" <jackcardwell2000@...> To: "BardonPraxis Moderator" <BardonPraxis-owner@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 1:48 PM Subject: Re: Welcome to BardonPraxis Hello Rawn and others, My name is John, I live in Detroit, Michigan, and I've been a member of the other two Bardon Yahoo groups for about a year. But I too found that 95 percent of the messages on those sites were speculation and theorizing that had little or no connection to the practical work at hand. And one of the most appealing things about Bardon's work is its utter practicality. I began studying "esoteric" subjects when I was about 19 (I'm 32 now), beginning with Tibetan Buddhism (meditation, yoga, rituals, etc.), followed in later years by Kaballah, Rosicrucianism and other systems that offered practical actions and exercises one could perform. I ran through Bardon's system several years ago, up to about Step 5 or 6, but I am now starting it over, with the intention of mastering every single detail before moving onto the next step. Thanks, Rawn, for setting up this group. John
