Happy birthday BardonPraxis! With great coincidence this anniversary falls exactly on my own 17th birthday, and I would like to take advantage of this splendid opportunity to thank all of you here on this group. During the past 6 months that I have frequented this message board, I gained innumerable insights and bits of understanding about the questions and issues which were bothering me regarding the Hermetic Work, even though that I myself participated only once or twice in the discussions. Thank you all dear friends for your indirect support, especially to you Rawn with your articles and wise replies, as I doubt I would have been able to muster enough perseverance to go on with the Work without the existence of this group. I sincerely believe that this group is of genuine importance to all students of Bardon who came across it on their path, and I wish it and all of its inhabitants nothing but the best. May it be blessed with a constant inflow of high-quality messages, and will continue to bestow its benefits on all those who visit it - to whom I wish the best progress on their individual path. Of course, thank you Rawn, for creating and maintaining this group, and doing an excellent job moderating it :) Happy birthday! Daniel
