Dear Rawn, >>>Since you can perceive the essential meaning (an ability that Bardon seems to have assumed would not be gained until the completion of Step Eight) and are capable of an accumulation and condensation, I'd say there was no reason for you to wait until the completion of Step Eight before beginning this phase of the Kabbalistic work.<<< I thought there where a tad more pre-requisits to the beginning phase of the Kabbalistic work? If not, then how far can I go with having gone through to near the end of step four with the ability to percieve essential meaning, create an acummulation, and condensation? Love and Live well, Peter Reist
