Re: [BardonPraxis] Question from new member

Dear 'kxcorinth',

Welcome to BardonPraxis! :)

>> I cannot afford to buy his first book at the moment,
so I have been reading all the internet resources I can find about
the Steps. <<

In the interim (i.e., until you save up the money to buy IIH), you can
download a free illegal, pirated online version in either .pdf or .html
format by going to http://bardon.freespeechsite.com/

>> My question is: Do any of you talk about your results from
progressive through his steps? I looked back in the archives here
and saw lots of theory and info about the steps, but (so far) I
haven't seen much about your experiences. Maybe I just haven't found
the right posts yet. <<

Did you run across any posts about the tenet of 'silence'? At the
beginning of Step Three of IIH, Bardon wrote an essay upon the "four
pillars of Solomon's temple" -- knowledge, daring, volition and
*silence*. Regarding 'silence', Bardon wrote: "The more reticent he is
about his knowledge *and experience*, without segregating from other
people, the more he will be awarded by the Supreme Source."

About the four pillars in general, he wrote: "Who aims at acquiring
knowledge and wisdom may do his utmost to obtain the afore-said four
fundamental qualities, for nothing at all will be achieved in holy
magic, without these requirements."

In other words, Bardonists as a breed don't spend much time describing
the details of their experiences. :) Although it must be said that, on
this forum we do have to get into describing our experiences to a
certain degree when it comes to asking and answering questions about
problems we're having. But even then it is kept to a minimum.

>> So I would very much like to know what, if anything, the results
are. What experiences have you had? How have you changed? Have you
experienced enough for yourself to know that the Steps work? <<

Yes, I have experienced enough for myself to know without any doubt
whatsoever that the Steps work. :)

My best to you,
:) Rawn Clark
