Dear Peter, >> With regards to working with the Gra Tree in the mental body, I take it I should perform some serious contemplation about what the *core essence* of each sepheroth/path and their inter-relation before adding it to my visualization of the Tree within the mental body? << Always a good plan! :) >> I also take it that working with the Patern on the Tressleboard meditation, and perhaps working through Paul Foster Case's _Tarot_, or other similar pathworking system, would help with this process as well. << Yes. I suggest this very strongly. An experiential understanding, as opposed to a theoretical one, makes all the difference. To that end, I recommend the "Eight Temples Meditation Project" http://www.ABardonCompanion.com/8T-Links.html and the "32 Paths of Wisdom" http://www.ABardonCompanion.com/32Paths.html My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 02 April 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
