It IS like an oasis in the middle of a dry dry desert, isn't it? :) And I am grateful for everyone who posts here also. So much so, as I learn from others' mistakes... and that is a very very valuable lesson, ... that I have the honor of admitting with pure humbleness a recent mistake of mine. In the hopes that for those beginning, a step below where I am (though that is difficult to imagine, grins) I will state it. Because I had meditated and visualized with certain Do-In mental exercises, experienced a taste of samahdi, opened my chackras and actually benefitted many friends and strangers with white light and energy healing with massage, just with 3 years of intense study 20 years ago... I felt that I could easily accomplish the IIH excercises, Lesson 1, 2, 3, no problem, TMO IHVH-ADNI up through lesson 7, no problem, The Self Healing Archaeous up through lesson whatever (5?), not a problem, and I walked through 7 steps of The 8Temples exercises, but then I "dabbled" with lesson/letter one of the KTQ. Yeah, it benefited me with eye candy. I awoke the next morning to a structured mind and I was thrilled beyond belief about that. But, over the past 4 days I have had that "feeling" you have just before you get a massive headache, you know the kind. But never materialized into the headache. Also the loss of equilibrium in your pineal gland, you know like you're about to be dizzy and regurgitate. (I had this feeling perpetually while on a Marine Corps./Navy helicopter cruiser for 3 months twice while in the service, so I know the feeling well, never any balance in the pineal gland). I did everything I could think of from the practices I had done to exit the excess of fire in my head. I was maimed because I found out, one lesson/point by one that I indeed, did not "really" own the qualified use of that lessons' points/abilities, or else they would have been working. Yes, I sprung philosophical roots into the ground and assumed letting it take all excess fire from any of my three bodies. The problem next was that I could not venture into the three bodies to scan and check out which of the three bodies contained the excess which was causing me this inbalance. As soon as I went to the fire element area in the physical, or astral, or mental body as I had been comfortable with previously with feeling and sensing, I now only contacted the headache worsening. A total shutout of my scanning abilities to this over exerted area. My body was telling me seriously to slow down, let it heal. Finally today I found that it was in the astral body. Only by meditating with the IHVH-ADNI thought impregnation of the excess in fire leaving. And that's how I found it was in the astral fire region also. So, simply meditating the light blue color, the letter A thought/mental, felt/astral, spoken/physical, in all three bodies and breathing in this light blue color's feelings into my three bodies only accomplished a serious short circuiting of my body and blowing a minor fuse. Now I found out plenty in this. I had not really accomplished step 1, IIH because I had forgotten in rereading the air breathing into my body of vital positive impregnated energy. I had somehow skipped over this part. I had jumped right into breathing in the elements into my body and into specific areas of my body. In case this helps anyone else out there. Beware. The good thing, of course, is that "some" of bravery to forge ahead and jump into things unknown is a vital spirit of exploration needed for this self work in the workshop. No fear. And also it is good to experiment. But the bad thing is that those road sign warnings that Franz Bardon and Rawn Clark put into the practices? ... :) They're REAL!!! So, my humbleness spoken and heart felt. I rejoin the group where I am at. The lesson is, that even though I may have the ability already to do "one" aspect well of a further lesson, it is wholy unbeneficial, and in fact detrimental in the negative to the point of damaging the workshop where further study is going to occur, to jump ahead and skim. Thanks, all. I Wish You Well Chuck
