Hi David. I have faced the same problem for months indeed : everything is interesting, worth investigating ...but time and energy consuming. I also had to make choices - so share your feeling. Now, you shouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water either (forgive me - I'm not sure of the exact espression in English :-) : there *are* parallel disciplines that will accelerate your progress and bring a serious leverage to your studies. I don't know the 8 temples meditation project yet, but I can witness the Self Healing Archaeous and the Center of Stillness meditation helped me going through a breakthrough as far as IIH is concerned. I just started learning TMO also. So I suggest you look at the various activities from the point of view of their impact on / their relationship with IIH specifically, and not only from the one of the apparent loss of focus they seem to provoke. I'm sure the advanced students here will help you making the distinction between the two categories.
