Dear Peter, >> At which point divine providence did everything but throw the kitchen sink at me to start doing some more advanced work of kabbalah. << Oh dang, did we forget the kitchen sink? ;-) >> Once I started to do this work, especially the elemental accumulation within the four elemental regions, in addiiton to the fire pole of KTQ, my perception of the world exploded and expanded to the edge of the universe and my progress went into overdrive. And I have progressed formally through to the work of step 6 in IIH. << This is excellent news, Peter! :) Congratulations! Hard work *does* have its due reward. I want to add my words to those that I imagine your own HGA is whispering in your ear and say, please take your time with Step Six. Be especially thorough with this Step. My very best to you, :) Rawn Clark 13 Aug 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe PS: I really enjoyed reading what you wrote about the nature of our public conversations. :)
