Dear Robert, >> There are many possibilities when dealing with spiritual occurrences, but mostly the average person is relatively ignorant of spiritual phenomena and does not understand what is going on or much less how to deal with it. IIH does well at revealing the basics of this and putting it in perspective. << It is the *experience of* IIH that leads to understanding, not just the reading of it. Understanding is not an intellectual process of putting two and two together. Instead, understanding is the result of direct, structured personal experience. It is a matter of knowing, not one of guessing. An "understanding" that is rooted in what one reads or what one is told by others is not true Understanding. Instead, that is rationalization, assumption and belief. From an initiatory perspective, these are not enough because they are essentially unreliable. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 01 Feb 2004 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
