Hello everybody, specially to you, Rawn.

Excuse me because my english is not very good. I am a spanish 30 
years old boy, and I always have been interested in the hermetic 
things, magick, etc... I am graduate in philosophy and at these 
moments, I am doing a dissertation about the history of magick. In 
that work I want to project the figure of Franz Bardon, because I 
think he has never received a great recognition by the occult 
audience. I am practicing the first step of IIH and I would like to 
make these questions:

1)In a book called "Franz Bardon:questions and answers" I have read 
the following related to the elements: "The melancholic temperament 
is analogous to the Water element" and "the phlegmatic temperament 
is analogous to the Earth element". Is this right? In other books I 
have read opinions opposite to these. Per example, in the antiquity  
the melancholic temperament was associated with the Earth element 
and the phlegmatic, with the Water element. Then... who is right?

2)Is it really possible not thinking about nothing? It seems to me 
impossible, because the mind is always thinking about something. If 
you say that you are not thinking about nothing, then I suspect that 
your thought is: "I am thinking about nothing" Am I wrong?

3)The exercise of attributions to the elements of charasterictics of 
personality is to me very very complicated and subjective. What is 
the correct form of making these attributions?

4)Is it normal that in certain moments or in certain days the 
exercises don´t go very well? Per example, when I practice the first 
execise (observing the thoughts two times a day) the second time is 
never better than the first. It´s strange. Can it be that the mind 
is tired with the exercise of the first time? (well, it can be 
interesting to say that I don´t practice in the morning, but in the 
afternoon and at night before sleeping. Is it right?)

Well, that´s all. Thank you very much for your attention
