Dear RM, >> Caveat: I am too new at this to know if this is a good approach - it was just something that developed naturally as I began the work. << What you describe is an excellent approach. Most importantly, you have taken the essential technique, used it in a 'Regulus Magus' way and have made it your very own! This ability to think for yourself and to trust your own instinctual way of doing things, is a vital ingredient to the work of initiation. Bardon gave the specific framework that we each must personalize -- but personalize wisely and within limits -- and the way one learns that wisdom and those limits is through self-reliance, trial-and-error experimentation and trust in one's own inner wisdom. What you described perfectly suits the person that *you* are, yet at the same time it also perfectly adheres to Bardon's instruction and is an excellent expression of the essential technique. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 29 Jan 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
