Re: [BardonPraxis] Re: Wanting

I think step 2 is the place where dicisions are made that will effect our 
future out-come for a while to come. I too love my children and many other 
things in general life and am tempted to while away the hour.
No one can force me but myself. If I play too much then in a few more fast 
years I will look back with regret because I will be in undesirable situations 
that I cannot chang because I had the opertunity to develop/mature and waisted 
it. Next life time!

Dear David:

I might add that the "wanting" is in the context of all the other things you 
might want. I like to think of it in terms of "opportunity cost" (in 
essence, every hour you invest doing one thing is an hour you are not doing 
other things). You have to make a considered decision about what you value 
more. Do you want to spend an hour doing the IIH exercises more than an hour 
spent playing with your kids? Reading a good book? Walking in the park? If 
so, why?

I think answering these kinds of questions relates to your work on soul 
mirrors. In my opinion, Bardon's work defines a kind of "fast track" to 
spiritual maturity. In my own case, I left this path because deep down, I am 
enjoying my spiritual youth and would rather be playing with the kids, 
reading, walking and so on, than spending the time it would take to master 
the 10 steps. It's a choice each of us has to make (and again, in my 
opinion, step 2 seems to be the point where most people make this decision).

Respectfully, /RM/
