HI David, Thats the wonderful thing about ascension and development, you can never pretend you are at any other level that you are. By doing so you stint your abilities to actually get to where you want to / should be, just remember preteneding you are at a higher level than you are is like saying you are the first man on the moon. You wouldn't try to tell yourself you are the first man on the moon - would you? Getting rid of lies to yourself is a general very big part of very early steps :-) Mark --- In BardonPraxis@yahoogroups.com, "David Yeh" <ldreamr@y...> wrote: > I just wanted to say ...
