Dear Chuck, There's no need to be in such a hurry. :) Please remember that Hermetic Initiation is a path of *balance*, in all areas of one's life. If you move too quickly through the Steps, even though these are things you have no difficulty in doing, you miss out on the transformation incurred by doing the exercises for a longer period of time. Your after-the-fact experience of un-groundedness with your KTQ work is an excellent example of this. Your three bodies have not yet been transformed sufficiently to make effective use of KTQ. I suggest that you give them more time to catch up with the demands that your growing abilities and your fast pace have placed upon them. In a previous message, Alan described his "Threshold Theory" in which the aspirant reaches a plateau of achievement at which they stay for a while before being able to again ascend. The reason that this occurs is due to this issue of the transformation that time rends upon the three bodies. When we reach the threshold of what our bodies can accommodate, we stall for a while as our bodies catch up in their transformations. Without those transformations already in place further ascent is not possible. I understand and appreciate your passion and commitment for this Work and do not, in any way, wish to dampen that. However, I know the disadvantages of moving forward too quickly and wish to warn you of them. One thing that I suggest you consider is how much your passion owns you. A more balanced approach is to own your passion and direct it with willful Equilibrium . . . My best to you as always, :) Rawn Clark 12 Aug 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe PS: I'm very pleased to hear of your results with the Archaeous and TMO!!!
