Dear Rawn ~ Thank you for the advice and the inspiring reply. From what you told me, my recent experiences are only hints at what awaits when I start to really master emptiness of mind. If that's the case, I better start preparing right away for my own "Encyclopedia Hermetica"! :-) If these jump-start experiences I am having has to do with the awakening of latent abilities, then I am most intrigued to know if this "awakening" can be helped along. Perhaps that is a bit greedy, though; in all fairness it seems as if they are awakening just fine through the practice I am doing with IIH. Anyways, thank you for your time, and the tip on the olfactory concentration!! Well met Vovin
