Dear 'ihya1347', >> Didn't Franz Bardon actualy have a smoking problem? if he did your in good company. << In reference to this, I received a message just the other day which offers some illumination to this question of Bardon's smoking: =================================== As I read in Erinnerung an Franz Bardon/Lumir Bardon & Dr. Milan Kumar, Kumar states that Franz Bardon told him that he is trying to wring out as much energy of his body, which karmically was stricken by a low metabolism and a severe problem with his thyroid, which makes an inflicted person sluggish, always tired, low in energy and depressed, not to mention obese. Since Bardon was not to alter his physical karma through magic means, he had to rely on mundane methods, among which smoking was one. He was not concerned about long term health ramifications, but rather fulfilling his task given by DP. Thus much from "Erinnerungen". ============================== The book he is referring to is "Souvenirs de Franz Bardon" (French) / "Erinnerung an Franz Bardon" (German), which has yet to be published in English.
